Owen Daniels -- Out for the year (1 Viewer)

Doesn't look good. Postgame report says he's probably out for the year and will have an MRI tomorrow.

I didn't see the injury, but the immediate ice pack to the knee after he got hurt made me think he blew out his ACL.

I was at the game....Daniels just kinda crumpled to the ground while running a pattern...I don't even think he was touched on the play.

I don't disagree with the report necessarily, but the latter part is not true. They will ice any knee injury.

True, but the sight of the ice and OD's body language was a big hint that the injury was a serious one.
 
Downgrade Schaub, especially with Slaton getting benched today, TE is out for the season perhaps, AJ might even be a notch lower today. 5-3 they are but it is going to be an uphill climb without Daniels.

 
This is really terrible news for Owen Daniels. His future with the Texans was already in doubt (his contract is up, and the Texans seemed to be bringing in young TEs to replace him), but this'll probably seal his fate.

Drop him down more than usual in dynasty leagues, because wherever Daniels winds up, the offense is very unlikely to be quite as TE friendly.

Yes, with an eye on James Casey.

I know he was a darling of a number of posters here but is he the pickup and is he ready to contribute now considering his lack of blocking skills and lack of a lot of experience at the position?

I don't think so. Neither Dreesen nor Casey will approach OD's production. I think this might bump up the value of guys like Walter and Jacoby Jones because Schaub is more likely to look their way in OD's absence.

I hear what you're saying but a TE doesn't have to approach the production of the top scoring TE in fantasy football to be worthy of a pickup.

If you're asking me if Casey is ready to contribute in terms of fantasy production, my answer is to look elsewhere. He's still only a rookie.

It looked to me like Casey was the guy that took Daniels spot after the injury. If I was going to pick up just one or the other I'd take the gamble on picking up Casey. He fits the role that Daniels has in the offense better. Not saying he's Daniels, but he's a guy you can send on deeper routes like Daniels does, which I don't think you'd try as much with Dreesen.

i agree, but i think dreesen is the guy in the red zone.
 
I'm attempting to steal a TE before I pick one up... I offered Justin Fargas to 3 different guys... V.Davis/D.Clark/T.Gonzo... I know I'm reaching for the stars but why not try before you drop? lol.

I have Z.Miller/Fred Davis/Chris Cooley in the FA Pool, so worst comes to worst I'll pick up Davis & Cooley and lock down the redskins TE spot for the season.

 
That really sucks. Luckily I aquired Tony Gonzalez in a trade a couple weeks ago. Also... luckily nobody took me up on any of my trade offers the past couple weeks because I was trying to package Gonzalez up and send him away. I like Daniels better this year... but glad I got TG.

That's right - I forgot he was in a contract year.That's really too bad for the guy - he was having a career year and bound to have a very nice payday next year whereever he ended up. Now he just has to rehab and hope he can get into a good situation.
 
Confirmed torn ACL. Tough luck for Daniels and he was only on a 1 year contract. Going to be tough for him to get that payday now.

Rotoworld:

Owen Daniels has a torn ACL and is out for the season, according to the Houston Chronicle.

An MRI Monday confirmed Daniels' fears. It's a huge blow to the Texans and fantasy owners as Daniels was on pace for 80 catches, 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns. The Texans are expected to start Joel Dreessen in Daniels' place, but rookie James Casey has the most fantasy upside. Daniels, who was working on a one-year contract, will now need to prove his health before next season. Nov. 2 - 12:24 pm et

It reminds me of the time my Uncle Owen got hurt. Very sad. But there was nothing I could have done had I been there. I'd have been killed too, and the droids would be in the hands of the Empire.

 
Sorry to hear about Daniels....solid player who was having a great year.

So does Walter fill the void? What's been his issue this year? Is he still banged up?

Oof. Too bad. He and Leon Washington both got injured before signing loing term deals. I hope someone pays him as hes a very good football player.
 
I will be another to echo the thought of K.Walter maybe being fantasy startable again. He's probably the #2 or 2b target in the passing game now.

 
Daniels to IR, will have surgery to repair torn ACL in 2 weeks, confirmed by Kubiak. Story up on team site.
