Rostered: 6.9%

On Sunday, Davis had five receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Notably, he was targeted a team-high seven times.

Davis saw a slight boost in production with Zach Wilson under center. This is a continuation of an existing trend. With Wilson at quarterback, Davis averages 3.9 receptions, 54.8 receiving yards, and 0.6 receiving touchdowns; that equals approximately 13 fantasy points in PPR leagues.

Overall, Davis is off to a solid start to the season. Through four games, he has 15 receptions for 261 yards and two touchdowns.

He was already a solid pickup in deeper leagues, but the return of Wilson boosts his value. He will be an intriguing FLEX option this week, as the Jets face the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season.

In addition, the Jets will likely be playing from behind, as the Dolphins’ offense is ninth in the league in points per game. So, Wilson should have plenty of opportunities to throw the football.
