Vernon Davis is expected to miss two weeks with a partically torn MCL. Brian asks:

Given his slow start and the severity of his injury, would you just cut bait on Vernon Davis? I've got O.Daniels in reserve, and as I've lost A.Johnson and SJax today, I could probably use the depth elsewhere.

I'd hold on to Davis in almost all formats. He should be back after the San Francisco Week 6 bye, and he can be a TE1 despite San Francisco's early struggles. In Brian's rare case, I could see releasing Davis because of all the injuries and the presence of a comparable tight end. I would see if anyone would give up something in a trade first.

Davis' injury isn't great news for Frank Gore. Opposing defenses are already focusing on the Inconvenient Truth, and now they have one less weapon to cover.
