Gabe Davis
WR
Career totals frame the rest of the file: Davis is a low-volume, high-efficiency vertical WR whose value is measured in TDs and yards per catch, not target share.
6-year career across BUF and JAX. 219 receptions for 3,586 yards and 36 TDs across 86 games — the BUF deep-shot WR famous for an 8-201-4 line in the Jan 2022 divisional vs KC.

Why it matters. Career totals frame the rest of the file: Davis is a low-volume, high-efficiency vertical WR whose value is measured in TDs and yards per catch, not target share.
His 2022 BUF season (56-983-8 full year) was the volume peak — never matched after as the role shrank.

Why it matters. The shape shows a clear single-environment career: four steady BUF seasons, a sharp drop the year away from Josh Allen, and a reduced-role return.
4 BUF seasons + 1 JAX year + 2025 BUF return — the Allen-throw dependency is the career thesis.

| BUF (return) | 2025 | 143 |
Why it matters. The team split quantifies how much of Davis's production was a Buffalo phenomenon — when the QB environment changed, the output cratered.
His 4-TD divisional-round game vs KC (Jan 2022) is the ONLY 4-TD receiving game by any WR in the entire 2020s postseason.

Why it matters. Single-game peak that defines Davis's playoff footprint — and a rarity check shows it is the only 4-TD WR playoff game of the decade so far.
31 of his 36 career receiving TDs (86%) came from Josh Allen — one of the most concentrated single-QB TD profiles among modern WRs.

| Passer | TDs | Share |

| Josh Allen (BUF) | 31 | 86% |
| Other QBs (JAX/BUF backups) | 5 | 14% |
| Career total | 36 | 100% |
Why it matters. Quantifies the QB-dependency narrative with a hard number — most WR careers are spread across a handful of passers, Davis's is essentially one.
His 16.37 career Y/R is 2nd among active WRs with 200+ receptions — a true vertical archetype, not a possession piece.

| Mike Evans | 918 | 13,853 | 15.09 |
Why it matters. Y/R is a shape stat: high values mean the WR is used as a vertical, not a chains-mover. Davis sits with the small set of WRs who built modest receptions into elite yards per catch.
