Mt. Vernon

I know I’m not the first to predict that 2007 will be a breakout season for Vernon Davis, but I also don’t know of any credible experts who are willing to say he is the second best fantasy tight end in the league.

Other than Antonio Gates, nobody in the NFL will put up better numbers than a healthy Davis who will problems all season long for opposing defenses who will quickly their linebackers are too slow and their safeties are too small to stop him.

Last season Davis showed flashes of brilliance, and that was during a season in which he was learning a new playbook, getting acclimated to the speed of the NFL, and recovering from injury. This season the 49ers have much better receiving threats (Ashley Leile and Darrell Jackson to replace Antonio Bryant), an improved offensive line, a young quarterback with another year of experience and a favorable schedule.

Despite what your fantasy magazine is telling you…Tony Gonzalez, Alge Crumpler and company are not better options than Davis.

also mc michaels should have a good year with bulger throwing him the ball and houston's daniels will come cheap and he is supposed to be highly utilized this year (we will see). one rule that i tend to follow is if i am desperate for te i will look for teams with a half way decent one who i think will be trailing in most of their games (the rest is elementary) another rule i tend to follow is when in doubt take a rb or wr.
