Owen Daniels appreciation thread (1 Viewer)

The debate for me is between OD and Scheffler. Still leaning OD's way, as he is at least guaranteed to be in the starting lineup. Scheff may have a better matchup, but the combination of his injury (has not been a lot of updates on this) and Skeletor is enough to keep me with OD this week. Buying into the fact that the tough pass D matchups hurt Sage and this is the week they go back to their pass-first mentality.

I won the auction for Keller this week, but I'll probably still start Daniels vs. Cleveland over Keller vs. Tennessee this week. I just wanted to make sure I had options for the rest of the way...
Did the same thing and am unsure who I'll start. Anyone benching Daniels for someone else? If so, whom?
Well, I'm benching Daniels for Scaife. I don't trust Sage enough, and my gut says Scaife. jmo
 
Per Rotoworld. Alex Smith missed practice, unlikely to play per Gruden.

Stevens against Detroit is looking more and more intirguing.

 
I like having him on my team only so I can channel the mom from Thrown Mama From the Train and scream "OWEN!" whenever he makes a play. Or, "OWEN! You clumsy poop!" whenever he drops one. It really makes the day complete.

 
heading into our playoffs this week and with Shaub's injury, I don't think I can count on OD with Rosenfels

'

 
Our rosters are locked so I'm "stuck" with Winslow and Owen for the playoffs. Hope Winslow gets it going again...

 
Another stinker. Just not as smelly.

Shockey was dropped and I was able to pick him up. Really hoping Shockey can stay healthy, keep his head on straight, and develop some kind of chemistry with Brees. Long shot, I know, but I don’t think I can bank on OD anymore. If Shockey has a decent game tonight, OD goes to the pine. What a huge let down.

Same exact thing for me. Before our rosters locked yesterday I picked up Shockey as insurance and in hopes he can bring in some upside. I'll be watching him closely on MNF and if he's being targeted enough OD hits the bench. Fortunately I already locked up the #1 spot and have a bye going into the playoffs.Gives me a chance to evaluate my entire roster since a lot of players have been helter skleter this year.
 
You know even though OD isn't playing well right now, you never know when he could break back out...stranger things have happened.

Look at performances for these TEs this week:

Bottom 5 TEs:

1. Greg Olsen – 0 Rec, 0 Yds

2. L.J. Smith – 1 Rec, 3 Yds, 0 TDs

3. Kellen Winslow – 1 Rec, 11 Yds, 0 TDs

4. Jason Witten – 1 Rec, 11 Yds, 0 TDs

5. Tony Scheffler – 1 Rec, 12 Yds, 0 TDs

Some pretty good names there....at least OD is healthy right now.

 
Schaub should be back next week. I picked up Zach Miller just in case but I'm staying with OD if Schaub plays

 
With Schaub back, I expect many guys will be kicking themselves for giving up on him too soon.

Just in time for the playoffs too! :excited:

 
Sage just kills him. I'm riding this train as I got nothing on the bench. Please Schaub come back and save this bums season!

I have the exact same TEs and if Schaub isn't back next week I'm going with Miller. The TExans don't have that favorable of a matchup anyway.
The matchups are probably favorable to Owen Daniels (vs. Packers, vs. Titans and vs. OAK), but not to Andre or Walter.But I agree, Owen owners need Schaub back ASAP !!!!

Same situation. I have a bye next week, but would like to see something from him going into week 15. I think Schaub helps his value (can't hurt, obv) so I will be riding him out the rest of the way.
 
Daniels fumbles at the 1 yard line!

:thumbup:

2-8-GB 9 (13:21) 8-M.Schaub pass short right to 81-O.Daniels to GB 1 for 8 yards (55-D.Bishop). FUMBLES (55-D.Bishop), touched at GB 0, RECOVERED by GB-38-T.Williams at GB 3. 38-T.Williams to GB 3 for no gain (73-E.Winston).

It got punched out. It was a good defensive play.

Not so much. Every defender does that on every play. Daniels was negligent with the ball.
 
I think Owen is back to being Owen now that Schaub is playing.

I think he could have a hell of a game this week against Tennesse. Tennesse does a very good job on WR coverage but TE's seem to do well.

Any thoughts?

have scheffer and OD...can't decide who to play. denver has no rbs and will throw a ton.
 
I've waited too long, I can't wait anymore. I've just don't trust him in the playoffs, I am gonna have to go with Carlson.

I'm in the same boat as you. I think I'm rolling with OD just because the game is in Houston. I expect both of them to have good games this weekend.
 
Trying to decide between him and Shockey. Shockey has been more productive every game since getting healthy and the Bears are #28 against the pass.

Who did you end up going with last week, spanker? I recall we were both in the same situation last week. I ended up rolling with Daniels and he and Shockey were even in points (OD had 1 more catch and slightly more yards but he coughed up a fumble). I think I'm rolling with Daniels again. I didn't realize Bears were #28 against the pass. I can see them playing tough at home though.

I rolled with OD last week. I think Brees may have to pass alot in this game (not like he never does) but Miller didn't even have a sighting last game.Brees should be able to pass on the Bears with no problem. TENN is pretty tough in bringing heat and last time they played Shaub got hurt I believe. Heck AJ only had 2 catches himself. Houston is at home but TENN D is pretty tough.

trying to decide: Daniels or Keller... I'm sure I'll choose wrong......
I've got them too and have the same pessimistic feeelings about my choice. You take one and I'll take the other and that we at least we won't both be wrong! :tinfoilhat:
LOL... Keller finally had a bad game and Daniels finally had a good game.... So hard to decide, especially with Schaub back....

In this boat as well. Leaning OD's way, but one thing that could take me back to Scheff is my opponent has Cutler as QB. So, waying the "minimize QB impact" by going with Scheffler (also have Royal) vs. going with OD.
 
I'm really torn on who to play between Shockey and OD. OD has a higher chance to score I think but Shockey seems to be the "safe" bet this week.

These are the two players I am debating as well. Although Football Outsiders indicates the Bears are better at defensing the TE than the Titans (both are in the Top 10 in that regard). What is swaying me in Daniels direction however is that he has a rapport with Schuab and less competition for targets than Shockey.

Miller didn't have a single catch last week. Yes there are more players to target but that will free up Shockey even more for catches.
 
If only Tenn would double team Andre Johnson. Somedays I hate this game.
I actually like how the first half shaped up for Daniels. Believe the Titans came out from half with one main objective - that A.J. gets contained. And we know the Titans will score so Houston can't just hammer Slaton in the 4th quarter. I like the x-factors at play and I have a hunch Daniels gets his here in the 2nd half.
