The Facts:
New OC Jim Hostler is working on ways to expand Davis' role in an offense that ranked 26th in the league last season. "There's lots of examples in this league of how to use tight ends, and we're all well aware of how to get the ball to him and how to get him in mismatches," Hostler said. "You're going to see a lot more big plays from him because he's going to have a lot more opportunities to do them."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to Mercury News staffer Dennis Georgatos, a featured role in the offense could allow Davis to do something no 49ers tight end has done: Gain 1,000 yards receiving. Eric Johnson came closest, gaining 825 yards (on 82 catches) in 2004. Brent Jones' best was 747 yards in 1990.
