Redskins tight end Fred Davis reportedly hasn't been a "favored target" of rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III in training camp, according to the Washington Examiner. CSNWashington corroborated that, saying "It's time to say that Davis isn't having a great camp for someone who is supposed to have a breakout season."Fantasy Spin:Davis emerged as a mid-tier tight end in 2011, catching 59 passes for 796 yards and three scores in 12 games before being suspended for the final four games of the season after failing multiple drug tests. Davis is playing for a new contract this season, but he hasn't gotten off to a good start. We'll have to see if Davis and Griffin jell in the final three exhibition games.
