Vernon Davis, Washington Redskins

Vernon Davis stepped into a larger role for Washington with Jordan Reed on the sidelines, catching 2 passes for 50 yards and a score. If Reed sits again this week, Davis will likely play a similar role as a red zone threat for the Redskins.

While he is likely nothing more than a touchdown-dependent upside play, there is a good chance that he finds the end zone again this week. His opponent, the Detroit Lions, have allowed more touchdowns than any other team since the beginning of last season, allowing 19 scores in 22 games. They have given up the second-most fantasy points per target and the third-most raw fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.

If desperate at tight end this week, you could do worse than taking a chance on Davis finding the end zone against Detroit's defense, which ranks last in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play this season.
