5 years agoWashington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis will draw the start if Jordan Reed is once again inactive, and he's facing a decent matchup if so. The Bears have allowed 15 receptions to tight ends for 133 yards and a touchdown. The question any fantasy owner must ask themselves if considering Davis for Week 3 is simply: how lucky do I feel? Davis has been targeted just 11 times in two games as Washington's primary tight end, and if you take away his 48-yard touchdown in Week 1, he's got six catches for 40 yards. If you're among those who have been decimated by O.J. Howard's lack of production at the position and missed out on the marquee waiver-wire pickups, at least there's a matchup here for Davis in a game where the Redskins should have to throw a ton. Even so, banking on his minimal target share through two weeks to yield a big day is quite the Hail Mary this early in the season.--Chris O'Reilly
