WR Gabe Davis, BUF (1 Viewer)

[BladeRunner]

Didn't play him the first 5 weeks thinking he's going to bust because he's always been either all or nothing but then, lo and behold, he performs like a champ in weeks 2-5! Decided to slot him in for week 6 thinking he's finally turned a corner and he lays a turd. Then I figured, "That was just one game, I'll give him another chance". Laid and even bigger turd in Week 7. Now, clearly frustrated and in "I freakin' knew he was going to do this" mode, I pulled him out of my lineup for Week 8 in favor of Javonte Williams and, sure enough, he explodes for 97 yards and a TD.

17.9 points sitting on my bench. This guy is killing me.

That is all.

I'm at least glad we can be miserable together.

The reason there are 2 Gabe Davis threads is because he is such a ying yang type player.

Started him last week and he had one reception, so I started Pickens this week over him

 

[TartanLion]

Gabe is the absolute classic case of got to keep him in the lineup every single week. Get the all the ups along with the downs. I guess this can depend on what role he is fulfilling in your starting lineup, I’ve got him as a one of 3 flexes in two dynasty leagues and have had him in every single week as he’s shown he will hit paydirt regularly now. I’ll concede it might be more of a dilemma is he is your potential WR2-3

 

[JohnnyU]

I don't see how you can trust Davis in the playoffs since he's thrown up 3 goose eggs since week 9.

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

Those 3 goose eggs are every other week, so you have to start him this week but bench him next.

What did Gabe Davis do to Josh Allen? Wide open.

Wow. Sometimes Allen is an absolute brickhead.

He musta forgot about the Al Bundy game

MFL just announced in their next player database update, he is being renamed

Davis, Gabe 0.00 WR BUF

Do we trust Gabe Davis in week 16?

 

[Ray Barboni]

Do we trust Gabe Davis in week 16?

lol. No way dude.

 

[ghostguy123]

Do we trust Gabe Davis in week 16?

Trust? No.
Plan to use him over guys like Njigba or Brandon Cooks? Perhaps

 

[taylormeetstheismann]

My only other option is Joshua Palmer. My opponent is starting Allen and I’m a big favorite so Davis could cancel points from Allen. But the goose eggs scare me too. Just thinking it out.

 

[Ray Barboni]

Trust? No.

Hmm. I have him IN over JSN. I’d rather some points over the zero. Can Gabe really post 3 goose eggs in a row?

I'll going on record here and say this is the week he gets at least one point.

This. One of the few correct moves I made this year was sending him to the wire

 

[smbkrypt24]

This is the first time I’ve been at not wanting to buy him. 0 points in multiple weeks. That is hard to stomach if you do play him.
In the past I would have been willing to pay late first/2nds. Now I would probably grab him from the wire, but wouldn't pay for him.

Doesn't this belong in the "bold takes" thread?

How could you ever possibly trust this dude lol? Especially not in a lose and go home situation

 

[TartanLion]

He’s dead to me. 1 goose egg I can forgive but multiple ones in a season ? No thanks. The traditional down weeks WERE worth the bump weeks but you just can’t be putting up zero points multiple times. Across 2 leagues I’ve started him 4 of those times. Luckily won 3 of those matches. He has gone from 2nd to 4th choice for the Bills. It’s done. Unstartable

 

[Proteus]

Anyone else thinking of taking a big swing for the fences here?

You know…a “fortune favors the bold” kind of thing?

For context I am outgunned on paper v a 1 seed and Devonta Smith is looking shakier by the day as my WR2.

He has been a very unique hit n miss, the ultimate Boom/Bust example in 2023

As many 20 pt games he's had, same if not more complete hole on your roster.
I argue that since he does this, many never get the riches when he does show up for one of his big games

Upthread I mentioned he is best in best ball leagues, only reason he is on my roster really. Taysom Hill would be another in that category.

BTW: @BladeRunner is an underrated poster IMHO, great takes and has a way of summing up what others are thinking.

Gabe Davis blowup game after 3 gooseggs in the last 4 weeks...

 

[Ray Barboni]

Kcuf you Gabe … Kcuf you hard

 

[Proteus]

Sure wish I'd listened to myself.

 

[taylormeetstheismann]

I started Palmer over Davis while facing Allen. I started Bass and Bills DT too!

Hope you went and did this. Fair play. A valiant pick for an underdog to start

 

[TartanLion]

Sure wish I'd listened to myself.

Ah no.

 

[JohnnyU]

I don’t care if he did blow up, I feel I made the right decision giving 3 goose eggs in four games.

 

[Ilov80s]

This guy is insane. He got me good here. Opponent had Pittman move out last minute and desperately plugged in Gabe. He is going to blow me out big time.

 

[BigJim®]

I get the frustration, I too am frustrated having him on my bench. I’m more frustrated with Allen than Gabe though. Gabe can’t help not being targeted by Allen. Both he and Diggs actually. It’s baffling.

 

[TartanLion]

Correct. If anyone did start him outside of any reason other than pure desperation I’d be questioning their thought making process tbh. Maybe as a huge underdog as detailed above. I sat him in one SF dynasty semi final which will absolutely screw me no doubt, because due to UK time I was asleep when Pittman was ruled out and Davis started his match. I then woke up in the middle of the night and started watching. Stupid hobby

Can't believe I am saying this but for dynasty, I am at the point where I hope he signs somewhere else. Chargers, Chiefs?

 

[BassNBrew]

Gabe 0,0 Davis still applies since that's how many points he scored for me on the bench.

I call him Double O Seventy because it sure seems like that's his pattern

I really should have been a little bolder than just +0.

 

[Yenrub]

Sure wish I'd listened to myself.

I wish I had listened to you as well. I went with Aaron Jones in a flex over Gabe.
Oh well it happens, hope it doesn’t prevent me from advancing.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

This is the correct answer
