2012 Highlight/Lowlight: Fred Davis started the 2012 season in a productive fashion with plenty of catches over the first seven games. Davis had a fantastic catch against the New Orleans Saints week 1 and things were looking up for the Redskins Tight End. However, Davis injured his ACL week 7 against the New York Giants and missed the rest of the season.

What is coming in 2013: Davis is expected to be ready for the beginning of the 2013 season and should be a valuable member of the Redskins potent offense. Davis will be an asset whether Robert Griffin III or Kirk Cousins is the starter week 1 and I predict he will have a career year in 2013. A healthy Fred Davis could be the solution to the health issues with the wide receivers and he certainly has the talent to have a 1,000 receiving yard year. His productivity could be lessened by rookie Tight End Jordan Reed and by 4^th year Tight End Logan Paulsen. Reed is an unknown commodity, but he may cut into Davis’ playing time. Paulsen was a great fill in for Davis last season and made some crucial short catches during the Redskins 7-game winning streak. While Davis certainly has the talent to have a break out year, the depth at the Tight End position and his health could have an adverse impact on his numbers.
