Player Notes
October 12, 2008
Vernon Davis is being used as a blocker more than a receiver so far this season, which is the primary reason why he only has five receptions, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:That trend looks to continue today against the Eagles, who love to blitz under the direction of coordinator Jim Johnson.

49ers tight end Vernon Davis is not very happy that he has such limited production this season, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. During the games, it's the most frustrating time. I try not to be frustrated. Sometimes it's hard. It's hard when you set goals for yourself and it's taking a while to get there," he said.

Our View:Davis was a combine wonder, showing unparalleled speed and strength for a tight end, but that has not translated to the field. He has just five catches on the year, much to the frustration of not only himself, but fantasy owners as well.
October 6, 2008
Vernon Davis has done a fine job blocking opponents this season, though he has only five receptions through five games, according to The Press Democrat. "He's done an outstanding job blocking, both pass and run," HC Mike Nolan said. "The objective is to get the ball in his hand. He has a responsibility to himself to run the correct routes. By no stretch would I say he's a bust."

Our View:Davis may not be a real life bust, but he is the fantasy football version of Britney Spears career, and that our friends is a complete and utter bust. He certainly can't get any worse, but we've also seen nothing to recommend even rostering him at this point.

Vernon Davis had only one catch in Sunday's game. After the catch, he shouted at the 49ers' sideline, angering head coach Mike Nolan, reports the San Jose Mercury News. "He got a little excited, yes he did, and I told him to sit down," said Nolan.

Our View:Davis has been a huge disappointment in the Mike Martz offense, and this action probably won't make matters any better.
September 7, 2008
Vernon Davis was involved in the 49ers offense on Sunday, something that wasn't always the case last season. The talented tight end caught three passes for 51 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Cardinals.

Our View:Mike Martz has never had such a talented tight end to work with, and he would be wise to continue to utilize the big receiver.
