Vernon Davis injury update: Back spasms may not keep him out of fantasy lineups
Vernon Davis left Sunday’s game with back spasms. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: It's been a rough start to the season for Davis. Most of his production has been in the end zone, and he hasn't found it since his two-touchdown performance in Week 1. Owners will want to monitor Davis' progress, as he took a nasty hit that knocked him out of Sunday's game. Even if he suits up for Week 5, Davis could participate on a limited basis. The 49ers will host the Kansas City Chiefs next. Davis owners will want to hang onto whatever backup plan they've used for Davis over the past several weeks.
