Tight End

Barring health, this is arguably the best position on the team. Jordan Reed is an elite talent that, if healthy, is a game changer for this team. Reed has had a very tough time staying healthy in his career, but if he can stay healthy for even 12 games this season, he will be a huge asset for Alex Smith.

Even if Reed is unavailable, Vernon Davis is a player that has the talent to be a starter, even in the late stages of his career. He did a great job filling in for an injured Jordan Reed last season, and he should be expected to have a significant impact on offense again this year. Even at 34 years old, he’s still playing at a high level.

The team’s third option, Jeremy Sprinkle, played in a limited role last year. He caught only two catches for 13 yards and a touchdown. Despite his lack of production, at 6-foot-5, 250, Sprinkle has the potential to be a very good blocking tight end for this team that can go out for a pass every now and then.
