Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Jordan Reed returns

OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: If you believed Vernon Davis was just a one-week wonder when he filled in for the concussed Jordan Reed two weeks ago and caught a touchdown pass, then consider yourself the Dan Quinn of your fantasy league.

Davis showed he was no fantasy fluke this past weekend by catching six Kirk Cousins passes for 79 yards against Detroit.  Davis has quickly jelled with Cousins and is putting up Reed-like numbers while filling the void at tight end for the Redskins.  His legs look rejuvenated and he is playing his best football in three years.

There is no telling when Reed will escape the dreaded concussion protocol system and find his way back on the field.  That means Davis will continue to be the top tight end and could lead the Skins in targets this week at Cincinnati with the way the receivers on the roster are splitting up the passes thrown outside the numbers and downfield.
