James Cook and Ray Davis Make NFL’s Top 10 RB Duos with Bills

The Buffalo Bills have a top-10 running back duo in the NFL, according to CBS Sports.

CBS Sports has released its list of the top-10 running back duos heading into the 2026 season, and the Bills' pairing of James Cook and Ray Davis lands at No. 9 overall.

The Bills' duo rounds out the top four duos in the AFC East, with the New England Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson coming in at No. 4.

James Cook had a standout season last year, registering a personal-best 309 carries for 1,621 yards and 12 touchdowns, while also contributing in the passing game with 33 receptions for 291 yards and two scores.

Cook's performance earned him a 56% snap rate, a career high, with both Davis and Ty Johnson rotating in behind him.

CBS Sports notes that Davis's underlying metrics, such as success rate and yards both before and after contact, improved last season, suggesting that he can take on a larger role under new head coach Joe Brady.

The article on Bills Wire highlights that Davis's improvement in metrics could make him a more significant contributor to the team's backfield.

The Bills are looking to build on their strong performance last season, and the pairing of Cook and Davis could be a key factor in their success.

CBS Sports' breakdown on the top-10 running back duos includes the Atlanta Falcons' Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. leading the way, followed by the Detroit Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs and Isiah Pacheco, and the Baltimore Ravens' Derrick Henry and Justice Hill.
