The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... So far in training camp, Davis has been the perfect match for Colin Kaepernick's ever-improving long ball, and he has been by far the most consistent deep threat in an offense that, to this point, has lacked any firepower at wide receiver apart from veteran Anquan Boldin.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Bee staffer Matt Barrows pointed out, Davis this summer predominantly has worked out of his familiar tight end spot, where he can be used in both the passing game and as a run blocker. But he's also taken a few snaps from the slot position (which has been widely reported). And with no young receivers stepping forward so far in training camp, there's a thought that the 49ers might move Davis outside at times this season. During the past four years, Davis has reshaped himself, replacing bulk with lean muscle and dropping 10 pounds. He's quicker, more fluid and more limber and his receiving skills – especially when he's on the run – have flourished. Davis said he was willing to play wherever the 49ers' coaches see fit. Given the dearth of weapons and Kaepernick’s big arm, fantasy owners will respond accordingly come draft day.
