Scouting report

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Pittsburgh
Six targets in one game for Vernon Davis? It doesn't sound like a lot, but it matched his season-high from a year ago. He turned those looks into three catches for 47 yards, which wasn't a monster day, but good enough to put him on the radar again. The Steelers allowed four TD passes last week, all to tight ends, and have given up 17 TD passes to tight ends in their past 17 regular season games. Can Davis make it 18 for 18? I wouldn't bet on it since he's been forgotten so long in the SF offense. But his start does at least make him somebody who fantasy owners should keep an eye on.

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Minnesota
Davis has been a fantasy dud since Colin Kaepernick took over at QB for the 49ers. Last season, he reached six targets in a game just twice and had seven games where he got three or fewer. That's not fantasy starting material. With all teams playing this week, Davis should not be in your starting lineup.

SF TE Vernon Davis - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Davis remains the starting tight end in San Francisco (for what that is worth).

Fantasy Downside
Davis managed to be targeted just 50 times last season and had just 26(!) catches. He has been largely forgotten since Colin Kaepernick became the 49ers QB.

Bottom line
Davis is going largely undrafted in most fantasy leagues and for good reason. At this point in his career, he has fallen off the face of the Earth and his photo should be on milk cartons. Davis is still talented, but if the 49ers aren't going to use him, what good is he?

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Vernon Davis Week 17 vs. Cardinals
Not only did Vernon Davis not catch a pass last week despite playing every offensive snap, he didn't get a single target! You can't catch passes that aren't thrown to you and Davis isn't getting anything. Look elsewhere for help.

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Vernon Davis Week 16 vs. Chargers
Vernon Davis is probably the clear-cut winner of the fantasy football dud of the season. He failed to catch a pass last week, continuing a forgettable season. There's no reason for him to be anywhere near your lineup.

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Vernon Davis Week 15 vs. Seattle
Perhaps Colin Kaepernick wouldn't be struggling so much if he remembered that Vernon Davis is threat at tight end. Davis had his most yards last week since Week 6. But it was just 26 yards on two receptions. Seattle has allowed 11 TD passes to opposing tight ends this season, but Davis hasn't scored since Week 1. Ugh.

SF TE Vernon Davis - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Vernon Davis Week 14 vs. Raiders
Nothing new here as Vernon Davis had just two catches for 13 yards last week. This is a guy who had 13 touchdowns last season. But he hasn't scored since catching two TD passes in Week 1. There's nothing to suggest anything is going to change for Davis.
