Vernon Davis injury update: Fantasy owners probably don’t need to read this

Vernon Davis is set to play and you’re starting him, but how will he do for fantasy owners?

Ed Szczepanski-USA TODAY Sports

Niners tight end Vernon Davis is listed as probable to face the Titans on Sunday. He put in a full practice all week and he is undoubtedly going to play. His hamstring injury is long gone and this is his first week putting in a full practice.

The 49ers still haven't got their receivers figured out beyond Anquan Boldin, so Vernon will remain as the go-to guy on short and deep passes.

Fantasy impact: Obviously, you're not going to sit Davis after his monstrous 180-yard, two-TD game against the Cardinals. The Titans also have a banged up linebacker corps and they're going to start Colin McCarthy at the Mike. McCarthy has been struggling to stay the field, so the OLBs will likely have to key in on the run as they try and take Frank Gore out of the game. Vernon probably won't go for 180, but 100 and a score is certainly a fair expectation. Not to mention, with Jimmy Graham on a bye, Davis is probably the best option out there this week. He will continue to be an elite option all year even though Colin Kaepernick still hasn't quite figured it out since Week 1.
