Ray Davis or Zack MossWho should you draft or start in 2026 fantasy football?

DraftCall Analytics

Start Zack Moss over Ray Davis in 2026.

Zack Moss averaged 10.0 PPG in 2025 to Ray Davis's 7.8, a 2.2 point per game edge. Both play running backs, so that per-game gap is the cleanest tiebreaker for a 2026 start or sit.

The Bottom Line

Zack Moss has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.2-PPG advantage is real (10.0 to 7.8), and Zack Moss's 5 touchdowns show scoring upside. Ray Davis is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Ray Davis vs Zack Moss: The Full Breakdown

Two running backs who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Ray Davis (Buffalo Bills) finished the 2025 season averaging 7.8 fantasy points per game in 15 games. Zack Moss (Cincinnati Bengals) came in at 10.0 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Zack Moss carries a 2.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Both profile as early-down workhorses. Ray Davis ran for 425 yards and 3 touchdowns; Zack Moss posted 685 and 5. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at running back for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Ray Davis (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open. Zack Moss (age 27) is approaching the age where RB production historically drops. Sell-high window is open.
