Don't count on Vernon Davis as a WR just yet

Jul 30, 2013

Recent national reports suggest tight end 49 TE Vernon Davis has moved to wide receiver. That has not been the case at all.

Davis took part in all the individual drills at tight end. Then -- as he usually does -- he ran a handful of routes with the wide receivers at the end of the individual period.

Once the 49ers went into 7-on-7 and team drills, Davis lined up tight end with no snaps at wide receiver. He played one snap in the slot.

Fantasy Impact:

Seems like Davis' usual routine of running routes with the WRs could be getting blown out of proportion. For now, it looks like Davis is taking most of his snaps at TE, with perhaps an occasional play in the slot. Rookie Vance McDonald was expected to get a long look in camp, but right now he doesn't appear to be taking over for a Davis move to WR.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
