Denver Broncos tight end Vernon Davis wasn't largely involved during Week 10's blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to his unfamiliarity with the team's hurry-up offense, according to Troy E. Renck of The Denver Post.

Davis played in nine snaps in his Broncos debut, and had his workload upped to 35 snaps in Week 10. In his third week with the team, it's reasonable to expect Davis to have a more significant role as he becomes acclimated with the playbook.
Fantasy impact: However, with the Broncos' offense at a major crossroads with Peyton Manning injured and Brock Osweiler under center, Davis' impact on the offense may not come in the form of fantasy numbers. It's conceivable that the Broncos may try to lean heavier on the run with an inexperienced quarterback under center, which could further Davis' looks.
With Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas well ahead of him in the pecking order, fantasy owners who are penning Davis into lineups are doing so as a Hail Mary attempt. Davis is best suited for fantasy benches until his usage proves trustworthy from week to week.
