From the article

James Cook III hurt his toe two days earlier and is questionable for the upcoming week. Instead of grabbing a dime-a-dozen D/ST, I'll go after backup Ray Davis.

STACKED’s take

Cook's toe injury creates backup opportunity for Ray Davis as insurance play.

James Cook III's injury status (toe injury making him questionable) creates a backup opportunity for Ray Davis; the source recommends using roster flexibility to hold Davis as insurance rather than streaming defense, with the upside of finding a potential starter if Cook is unavailable.
