TE Vernon Davis Gets Contract Extension

Sep 11, 2010

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis signed a five-year, $37 million extension with $23 million guaranteed on Saturday.

Davis' deal makes him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history.

Back in July, Antonio Gates signed a then-record five-year, $36.175 million deal with the San Diego Chargers that included $20 million in guaranteed money.

Gates is a six-time Pro Bowler, while Davis is coming off his first Pro Bowl appearance following a breakthrough season in 2009.

Last season, Davis led all tight ends with 13 touchdowns, with a team-leading 78 receptions for 965 yards.

Davis is set to earn $5.705 million this season in the final season of the five-year rookie deal he signed in 2006. He is now signed through 2015.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
