Vernon Davis Impressing the Coaches

49ers TE Vernon Davis continues to look virtually unstoppable at training camp. He has been catching passes out of the backfield, as well as over the middle from the regular tight end position. The 49ers are clearly looking to utilize him in a variety of ways. Davis is a very popular pick when it comes to TEs. I would certainly draft him as a top 5 tight end this season.

Dallas WR Terrell Owens, who had back spasms, is expected to start in the first preseason game against Indianapolis on Thursday. Hopefully this means T.O. is healthy and we can still draft him as a top 5 WR.

Eagles HC Andy Reid told reporters that he let RB Brian Westbrook leave camp due to personal reasons. The Eagles don't seem concerned so I am not either. Draft him as a top 5 RB in PPR leagues.

Miami Dolphins LB Joey Porter is expected to be out at least two weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday for the third time in two years. Porter is no longer a good IDP player so stay away from him unless he lights it up in the first few weeks of the season.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson hit the practice field for the Vikings today after nursing a hip-pointer injury. Peterson has an injury history, so it will be interesting to see if he can stay on the field. When healthy, he is a beast. Draft him as your RB3 this season.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes has a message for holdout All-Pro Larry Johnson: If you don't want the job, I'll take it. Johnson and Holmes do not have the best relationship, so this should motivate Johnson to come to camp and play football. Johnson is one of the best backs in the league and I would still draft him as such. I don't believe the holdout will be much longer. I would be shocked if Holmes returned to the field and made a fantasy impact.
