Davis has displayed flashes this season (5 for 48, 3 for 82, 3 for 39 & TD), but has never earned regular snaps. With Malcolm Floyd already ruled out for week seven, and Antonio Gates hindered at best, the door is wide open for Davis to shine.

Buster has always brought a mixed bag to the table. The tantalizing ability is present, but the drops and bonehead plays usually supersede the ‘promise’. Last week is a perfect example, hauling in a nice touchdown grab, but unable to eliminate the costly dropped pass. With that being said, he was targeted eight times by Philip Rivers, and should see much of the same traffic his way this week.

The Patriots allow 273 net passing yards per game and have been burned for 11 touchdowns through the air. They allowed 10 plays of 15+ yards versus the Ravens in week six.

In his 4th season, will Davis finally separate himself from the bottom end of the Chargers WR depth chart?

WR Sit: Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys

Despite his enormous tools, it’s important to remember that Bryant is still the number three receiver, and his talent is still raw. Taking both of those factors into account, it’s hard to expect massive statistical performances on a consistent basis.

Since catching eight balls in his debut, he’s hauled in just ten passes in the successive four games (155 yards). There were already a whole lot of mouths to feed in Dallas, but with the newfound dedication to the run and getting Felix Jones involved, his targets take an even greater hit.

Bryant’s critical third down drop, in which he appeared afraid to take a hit, is likely to linger in the minds of the coaching staff.

The Giants come to town boasting the league’s number seven pass defense and having sacked the quarterback 21 times. In a division rivalry of this magnitude (and a must win game to boot) you ride it out with your proven commodities.
