well the chiefs have a very, very fast LB unit and O. Daniels is a decent TE but not Elite and for a TE to get away from those guys he'd either have to be Elite or Savy Vet. Against an average group LBs he should do well and get open frequently.

Are you planning on trading him along with Romo too now? 
It's one week guy. Relax, your team is fine. Owens will have a decent year and your team will be OK. It's too early to panic.

i started him.I think his targets were down/will go up for the following reasons:1. Texans were ahead for much of the game, so they were able to be conservative and didn’t have to pass in the 4th Q. While the Texans are better this year, they wont be playing from ahead every week.2. Neither of their scores came in the redzone. One was an AJ bomb and the other was a defensive score. Owen is a nice redzone option and will get looks when they get down there.3. As already pointed out, Chiefs have a nice quick LB corps.I think he will have a good year and put up lower tier TE1 numbers. First week was just not great. I found this preseason post very insightful...

I think Owen Daniels is going to be fine. He can run block which means he is on the field for almost every offensive play. Through the first half of the CAR game I've only counted two passing plays in which he stayed in to block. While AJ's definitely the first option on a lot of those plays, Daniels is at least running routes which means he's going to get targets. He lost a fumble on his first catch of the day, but Schaub came right back to him and he's responded well. I'm an owner (and a HOU homer), so I'm more optimistic than most, but I think Daniels will produce.

Outlook for Owens now with AJ out? Will he put up WR type numbers?
Craig

I hope so, I just scooped him up off off waivers because I don't like playing three players each week from the same team. I have Parker, Holmes & Miller and think that it works against me to start all three every week.I just hope he is the main red (end) zone target as my league is td heavy in scoring.

the TDs are hard to predict but he had success in that area last year. I think he will be very solid the rest of the year.. Someone has to score the TDs with AJ and possibly Ahman out.. He makes a great play this week.

Didn't he get stopped right at the GL last week?? Those are tough.
Rushmore

Yep, along with 7 catches on 7 targets .

I think Daniels production goes down slightly
with AJ's return, but he has been a nice surprise
for the Texans as well as fantasy land.

Aj is not back and it looks like a few more weeks but even when he is ready...a connection has been formed between Shaub and Daniels that won't just disappear. A few less targets maybe, but he'll sprinkle in a TD (tackled at the one at least once this year) here and there and stay in that 6-10 tier with guys like Cooley and Shockey.

I agree with this. To say AJ is option 1, 2, 3 and 4 is shortsighted.Kevin Walter and especially Owen Daniels now have and should continue to have an important role in the Houston offense.Eagle Eye said:

Owen Daniels is a great start this week.....For the Winslow and Gates owners. Great bye week fill in. Expect 50 yards and hope for a TD...
Buck Bradcanon
Footballguy
the TDs still havent come (he'll still get a few at some point), but this is about as consistent as anyone could expect a tight end to be.. esp one that came at his price on draft day..
after the quiet first week, its been..
5 for 58
7 for 56

6 for 96

Six team league?
TheFanatic
Footballguy
No, I'm saying he is a great bye week fill in for the owners out there that are looking for someone to start since Gates and Winslow are on a bye. I'm not saying that those guys are on one team. I have Winslow in two leagues and Daniels in both as well. The Gates owner in both leagues will have to go else where....
Eagle Eye
Footballguy
I was just goofin but my point was that only in a 6 team league would Daniels be merely a bye-week filler. He's my starter.
Iwannabeacowboybaby!
Footballguy
Ya, unless you own Gates, Winslow or Witten this guy should be thought of as a starter over just about anyone else. People may not have drafted him that way, but if people are still starting Todd Heap or guys like that over Owens they not in touch with their team.
Honestly, I'd be surprised if Daniels is on the waiver wire in a TE required league. Means some owners are asleep at the wheel.
Yep, I have Heap and Daniels, and gave Heap the benefit of the doubt last week one last time. Zero points later, Daniels is my new starter.

He is on my WW, in a 14 team league! I have Gates, but I am 8th in line, he clears at 3am (is this correct for yahoo - anyone know??) and i will be a loser, setting my alarm, picking him up and going back to sleep

With their bye week looming, I'm a little surprised to see this. Maybe it wasn't a true high ankle sprain then?
Leeroy Jenkins
Footballguy
any new news here?
SteelerMurf
Footballguy
how does he go from high ankle to starting?
Brutis
Footballguy
I dont trust this, Im going with LJ Smith over Daniels.

Footballguy
I don't trust this either, but I have Heap as well, so I'm not sure where that leaves me. I hate rolling the dice, especially on TEs.

Footballguy
even a minor sprained ankle for a TE would be tough....for blocking and running routes
maybe Kubiak is playing this injury report thing even worse than Hoodie?

think it's a non-issue. Didn't OD play prior to their bye (the game after the injury)? Should be ok, right?
