Fantasy Football Draft 2008: Vernon Davis

Last year with the 49ers, Vernon Davis had a quiet 52 receptions for the beleaguered Bay Area offense. That stat was good enough for 9th overall in the NFL for tight ends - and tied for 13th in touchdowns.

This year, under the Mike Martz offense, opportunities should further improve. According to Coach Nolan, "He had it 53 times last year and if he can add another 20 or 25 to that it will help us win."

If Davis adds even the low end of that spectrum - he will have 70-75 receptions, which could have him rank in the top 5 tight ends in the league in that category.
