Gabriel Davis

Projections: 60 receptions, 780 yards, 6 TDs

Buffalo’s fourth-round selection from last year’s draft, started his NFL career with a bang. Hauling in 35 catches for 599 yards and seven touchdowns, tied for the second-most touchdowns among rookie receivers last season. The receiving touchdowns were also second on the Buffalo Bills, behind only Stefon Diggs.

Making the most out of his limited reps last season, I’d expect to see Davis have a larger role this year and eventually earn his way to the number two receiver on the depth chart by the end of the year. With the ability to stretch the field and the elusiveness to work in the slot, his versatility is everything Brian Daboll wants in a receiver.
