Vernon Davis

San Francisco 49ers

The Duke of Hazzard

This is the season that will make or break Vernon Davis. He has talent galore, but it has thus far been wasted. Whether loafing at practice, outwardly disagreeing with his coaches, being plagued by injuries, or being caught in a Mike Martz offense that has no use for TEs, this guy hasn't done much in the NFL yet. A new coaching scheme could change all of that. OC Jimmy Raye II doesn't bring much to the table, but Davis just may be able to flourish under him this season.

First, about Raye II... He's not had a lot of success overall in the NFL. Check it:

However, he runs a fairly stripped down scheme that is easy to understand and that has produced top-3 TEs in the league in eight of his 14 years coaching. Vernon Davis has had three unspectacular years, but with three different schemes; this team has been lost since Eddie DeBartolo had to fork over his ownership stake to his jabroni of a sister, Denise.

Spread The Fire

His Game

Standing at 6'3", weighing 250 pounds, he is pure muscle and very coordinated. At Maryland, he set all sorts of school strength records for a TE benching 465 lbs, power-cleaning 355 lbs, indexing 797 lbs, and squatting 685 lbs. Because of his workout at the Combine, he ended up being drafted 6^th overall in the 2006 draft, which tied him with Kellen Winslow II for 3^rd highest ever for a TE behind Ron Kramer (Green Bay, No. 4 in 1957) and Mike Ditka (Chicago, No. 5 in 1961). At that combine, Davis ran the 40-yard dash in the fastest speed ever for a TE at 4.38 seconds. He also led all TE prospects in bench press reps, broad jump, and vertical jump.

This kid has every tool necessary to become a legend in the NFL. He's too fast for linebackers to keep up with, and too big for safeties to cover. He is also one of the better blocking TEs, so he can be an every down guy if he keeps his head on straight.

2009 Fantasy Outlook

We are bullish on Davis finally pulling himself together this season, but understand if you've been burned in the past and will call us "nuts". Davis is one of those athletes that don't seem to understand that not everyone is blessed with superhuman strength and ability, but maybe Mike Singletary can make him with a full summer of OTAs and training camp.

He's had a tough time staying healthy, and when he has, he's had a tough time staying on his coaches good side, but if there was ever a time for it all to come together for him, 2009 is the year it will happen. A TE friendly offensive coordinator, a few years of experience to build from, and a rookie contract that expires after next season, all are reasons to hold on to confidence with him. In this day and age of contract extensions, the year before the final year is basically a contract year from our perspective. Make him the 1st TE off of draft boards this summer.

Spread The Fire

Contract

His rookie contract was for five years, $23 million, with $15.2 million of it guaranteed, an initial roster bonus of $1.885 million, and a $9.36 million option bonus to boot. Not too shabby for a TE who hadn't played a single down in the NFL yet. The remainder of the deal plays out as follows:

2009 - $1.44 million

2010 - $1.98 million

2011 - Free Agent

Breaking News

Coach Singletary backs his TE despite moronic pre-game confrontation expand +

Mike Singletary sort of defended Vernon Davis for his pregame confrontation with DE Adewale Ogunleye. "Vernon is growing up," Singletary said. "I don't think he knows how important he is to this team. He's just got so much energy and he's an emotional guy and you need those guys to win a championship."

Pyro's Take:

As long he privately chided Davis, we support Singletary's decision. And everyone knows how important it is to have pyromaniac.com's support for day to day decisions on your NFL franchise and its players.

Vernon Davis practice, will start tomorrow night expand +

49ers tight end Vernon Davis (shoulder) practiced for a second straight day and though he is listed as probable on the injury report for tomorrow night's game, he is expected to start against the Bears.

Pyro's Take:

Davis is a must-start against a Bears D that gives out passing TDs like condoms on sex awareness day. Make sure he's in your fantasy football lineup as the game starts tomorrow night at 8:20pm ET.

Vernon Davis returns to practice on Tuesday expand +

49ers tight end Vernon Davis (shoulder) went through a full practice with the team on Tuesday and is expected to start as usual Thursday night.

Pyro's Take:

Davis has been talking shit about the Bears lately, claiming that the Niners will dominate the Bears front line and that they shouldn't have a problem with their linebackers either. He may be right, but it's still not the smartest thing to say with Samurai Mike Singletary as your coach.
Even if Samurai kicks his ass in the next couple of days, he should still be started on your fantasy football team against a weak Chicago D.

Vernon Davis suffers minor shoulder injury expand +

49ers tight end Vernon Davis suffered a minor shoulder injury in Sunday's game against the Titans that would have limited him in practice today if there was one being held. He is fully expected to start on Thursday against the Bears.

Pyro's Take:

Davis is finally living up to his potential and has become one of the elite fantasy football tight ends in the league this year. Start him at all costs against a Bears D that likes to hand out touchdowns like Jolly Ranchers on Halloween.

Vernon Davis plays every snap, leads team in targets expand +

49ers tight end Vernon Davis played every offensive snap of the game for the team against the Falcons last Sunday and now leads the team in targets with 39 (Isaac Bruce, 29).

Pyro's Take:

OC Jimmy Raye's new system is finally giving Davis a chance to show off his skills. He is currently third in the league in TE targets, just three behind Kellen Winslow and Dallas Clark, and is a starting fantasy football tight end in all formats.

Vernon Davis seeing more work in '09 expand +

49ers tight end Vernon Davis is fitting in well to the team's new offensive plans this year. So far, Davis has 13 targets in the first two games compared to having just five targets at this time last year.

Pyro's Take:

Coach Mike Singletary and OC Jimmy Raye have been preaching a ball-control offense this year, which leads to a lot of underneath passes heading Vernon's way. Expect Vernon to be a major cog in the 49er plans the rest of the year, making him a nice fantasy play week-to-week.

Vernon Davis named team captain for the 49ers!? expand +

Matt Maiocco of the Press Democrat reported that Mike Singletary has appointed Vernon Davis one of the team's six team captains for the 2009 season.

Pyro's Take:

We stuck Vernon Davis in our sleeper bucket midway thru June as all signs in OTAs were that he has turned the corner from a maturity standpoint. He has burned a lot of fantasy minds over the last couple years, but this is a great sign, and we are bullish that the kid can finally roll.

Vernon Davis gets into a scuffle in training camp expand +

Vernon Davis apparently has yet again gotten into a training camp brawl - something that has become an annual tradition - this time with LB Marques Harris. Frank Gore wasn't amused, "I wasn't mad about having to run gassers," he said. "I just feel it's his fourth year now, and I told him it shouldn't be him now. Everybody makes mistakes but it shouldn't be him. OK, a rookie? I accept that."

Pyro's Take:

We have Vernon as a sleeper this season. It was thought earlier in the year that Vernon was a "changed man". God, if he burns us this time, we will be paying our graphics guy, James, to turn him into a pile of poo (see TO's player profile)
