Fred Davis (1 Viewer)

[Grahamburn]

I'm not sure if Fred Davis is still available in your league, but if he is and you need a little TE help this week he might be your guy.

Davis' last 3 games:

4 catches 43 yards 1 TD (9 targets)

5 catches 53 yards 1 TD (9 targets)

3 catches 50 yards 2 TDs (4 targets)

TE stats last 6 games vs. NY Giants:

Celek - 4 rec for 61 yards 1 TD

Gates - 5 rec for 67 yards

Gonzalez - 8 rec for 82 yards 1 TD

Scheffler - 4 rec for 53 yards

Witten - 14 rec for 156 yards

Celek - 5 rec for 64 yards 1 TD

The Giants are statistically the worst team in the NFL at covering the TE.

Davis has quickly become a reliable target for Jason Campbell as evidenced by the 22 total targets in the last three games. He should be a real nice start this week unless you have one of the elite tight ends, and I wouldn't be surprised if he outscores several of those players this week on Monday Night.

If you've been strugging the last couple weeks with a player like Greg Olsen I'd jump on Davis and start him this week if he's available.

I'm starting him over Dallas Clark in a 14 team league. I'm very nervous about the Colts playing limited time, especially if they go up by a decent margin early against a terrible JAX pass defense.

I went looking for a TE backup for Celek (if his thumb / back act up) and was surprised he was still available.Considering just starting over Celek outright.

But if they were up by a "decent margin" wouldn't that mean they's put a bunch of points up on the board?

My feeling is that if they go up by two scores, they'll start resting starters. There's too many weapons for IND to assume that means Clark will get a score and not enough PT to hope he got enough yards.

 

[ScottyFargo]

I am feeling that way about him too. Considering him at flex, I think he might put up better numbers than some RB3s.

 

[Grahamburn]

I'm not sure if I'd start Davis over Dallas Clark, but I think Fred is going to have a pretty good game.

Davis should be an active part of the Redskins' gameplan considering the Giants' struggles against TEs this season, he's getting a ton of love from Campbell in the red zone, and he's an excellent receiving tight end.

A 6-8 catch day for 60-80 yards and a TD wouldn't surprise me, and he could potentially post a great fantasy day.

 

[rrhartjr]

I'm also starting him over Clark in a TD-heavy league (20 pts per RecYD), the fact that he may not play the whole game makes RecYDs basically worthless. I think Davis is a much better bet for a TD + yardage.

I just did this exact same thing and ended up sticking Davis into my starting line-up over Celek shortly after I added him.

 

[grapeape]

Cooley also had his best game of the season vs the Giants week 1, I think like 20 pts in FF PPR leagues.

 

[TorsionBar]

Wish I was going against somebody with Dallas Clark on their bench...

Not that I'm predicting Fred to outscore Clark, but Fred still has yet to play. You can still get good production. Maybe not reaching what Clark is doing tonight, but you could still be ok. The last three weeksavis -10 fantasy pointsClark - 12Davis - 11Clark - 2Davis - 17Clark - 22

Yea, hopefully it won't be totally a wash.

"Sometimes, it rains... Think about that for a minute."I'm going against the Dallas owner.

Hopefully I'm on the money about Fred this week and he can put up some points to give me a chance.

 

[southeastjerome]

Was thinking of going with Davis over Gonzo this week, but I just can't bench Gonzo.

 

[Markus P Dub]

I love you overthinkers. Makes for good entertainment. I don't understand why you all do this when it was clear from early in the week the starters would play. Hopefully you don't shoot yourself in the foot.

I think IND would face some serious back lash if they lay down and lose the next 3 games to "rest" up when their first playoff game is a month+ away.

Not sure where you are coming up with that statement. Footballoutsiders shows them as #21 versus TE's through week 14. Not that it matters a ton as I agree Fred Davis should be a good start.Stats from:

Thanks for showing up the next day to state the obvious..

 

[zoobird]

I like Davis a lot this week. Of the TEs left to play, I'd rank him 2nd after Vernon Davis.

 

[Markus P Dub]

It was obvious to begin with?

 

[rrhartjr]

It was obvious to begin with?

The big question was whether the starters would sit after IND had a comfortable lead. JAX offense hasn't exactly set the world on fire since their bye.IND never got that comfortable lead, so they starters played the whole game. My take was wrong, but I had the guts to say it before it was obvious. It's pretty entertaining to see all the stragglers come back after there's no skin in the game and play the told you so game.

 

[Oscar]

I'm starting Davis over Jeremichael Finley this week. Both have great matches but the Giants give it up big-time to the TEs. I just keep thinking of that big game Witten had a few weeks ago against them. Hopefully they target Davis a lot on Monday night.

I guess I should have clarified that the Giants are the worst in the NFL in terms of "fantasy points" per game against the TE. Also, I'm not sure how that site gets their rankings, but from their statistics the Giants are second worst only to the Eagles (70.8) with 67.8 yards per game given up to the TE.

You have to be careful with that site. It has it's uses, but it generates it's stats by having regular old football fans attempting to record stats from network feeds. It's a fact, hard numbers, the Giants are VERY kind in surrendering FF points to TE's. It's a great matchup for F Davis. One thing to remember though, is given how hot Davis has been, the Giants may adjust their game plan to stop him. Of course, I thought that might happen to Clark last night. It didn't. Why it didn't I find hard to explain. You can't cover Clark with a linebacker. Clark proved that again last night.

I haven't disagreed with anything the OP stated. I like Davis quite a bit this week, and will likely start him. Just pointing out that his statement as a 'regular old football fan' that the NYG's were the worst (#32?) may not be as definitive as it was stated.

In terms of fantasy points per game, which I assume is all we care about here, the NY Giants are the worst in the NFL against the TE.

There's a disclaimer right at the top of the link you provided stating that their rankings include interceptions, pass interfence penalties, etc. that have nothing to do with fantasy football.

But, no reason to bicker. We ALL seem to think Fred Davis is a pretty good play Monday Night.

It IS in fact definitive. FACT: in a a 0.5 PPR performance scoring system, the Giants give up more FF points to TE's than any other team except the Eagles. He likely has access to the same SoS schedule I have from a pay site. Plug in your own scoring system, and it ranks every team in the NFL from top to bottom by position using only FF numbers.

Do we all play in .5 PPR leagues? I'm not going to argue anymore. He originally said they were worst (#32), you seem to say second worst behind PHI (#31), and another site said #21 overall. That didn't seem definitve to me, but I'll agree that #32 or #31 is semantics, that's bad. I'll be starting him in the one league I have him in which is 0PPR. Wish I had him in more leagues as I do like his match up this week. I'd love to have him in either of the Misfit dynasty leagues that I'm still alive in...one of those is 1.5 PPR for TE's, the other is 2 PPR for TE's.

You said it was not definitive. You were incorrect. It IS definitive. It doesn't even matter what scoring system you plug in. The Giants are still giving up more FF points to TE's than almost every other team in the league. You still insist that this free site, run by a bunch of schlepper football fans that have only network feeds to compile stats from IS the definitive source?

Some people just cannot admit when they are wrong. You, apparently, are one of them.

 

[NeverEnough]

You start Davis unless you have a stud TE on your roster.

 

[Trap Play]

I'm mulling Fred Davis over Santana Moss at Flex this week. I'm definitely leaning Davis at the moment.

You are right, I am wrong. No problem admiting that. We were all already in agreement that Davis is a good start.
