Vernon Davis injury update: Should be ready for fantasy owners against Houston

Vernon Davis is still not all the way back from his hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Michael Thomas

Niners tight end Vernon Davis (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Texans.

He still isn't all the way back from his hamstring strain, but he hasn't missed any games all year. Davis suffered his injury in Week 2 and he'll be looking to build on an 18-yard, one-TD game against the Rams in Week 4.

Fantasy impact: Even though the 49ers play on Sunday night, owners should not be worried. He's going up against a team that has struggled to stop the pass. The Texans have given up at least 23 points in every game, but surprisingly have allowed the least amount of passing yards.

Davis will have plenty of mismatches at the second level and should be in line for a big day as a top-five fantasy option. Colin Kaepernick figures to have a nice game with his main weapon back and Anquan Boldin could see fewer double teams.
