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.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
