Owen Daniels

Houston Texans

2009 Review

Owen Daniels was having a tremendous 2009 campaign until he tore his right ACL and was lost for the remainder of the season.  To show you just how good his year was going, if you were to take away that eighth game in which Daniels got hurt, the Texans tight end would have averaged 11.4 fantasy points per game.  To put that in perspective, Vernon Davis ended up leading all tight ends on the year with 10.9 fantasy points a game.  Basically, Owen was playing out of his mind.  Even if he were a wide receiver, he would have placed in the top-10 with those numbers and beaten out both Roddy White and Sidney Rice!  Unfortunately, Daniels is inching closer and closer to acquiring the label of “injury-prone” player, as he has now suffered three ACL-related injuries in his career.  Still, you can’t ignore what he was doing on the field up until the point of his injury.


~  Ranked 17th in the league with 81.9 TE fantasy points (basic scoring system)


~  Tied for 39th in the league with 5 receiving touchdowns


~  Ranked 18th among tight ends in the league with 519 receiving yards (85th overall)


~  Ranked third among tight ends in the league with 64.9 receiving yards per game (24th overall)


~  Ranked 20th among tight ends in the league with 40 receptions (tied for 101st overall)


~  Ranked 22nd among tight ends in the league with 57 targets (tied for 116th overall)


~  Tied for 12th among tight ends in the league with 8 receptions of 20+ yards (tied for 65th overall)


~  Ranked 13th among tight ends in the league with 28 catches for first downs (tied for 73rd overall)


~  Ranked 13th among tight ends in the league with 227 yards after the catch (YAC) (56th overall)


~  Set career bests in receptions per game (5.0), yards per game (64.9), and yards per reception (13.0)

2010 Fantasy Outlook

Questions abound for Houston’s talented tight end heading into the 2010 season.  Will offseason rehab of his torn ACL allow him to return to the dominant form he displayed in the first half of 2009?  Of no less importance, will Daniels be able to make it through the upcoming season injury-free?  How will his contract issues with the Texans front office and his desire for a long-term deal affect his play?  There’s no doubt drafting Owen to your fantasy team in 2010 will come with quite a bit of risk, but after seeing him lead all tight ends in fantasy points through the first eight games last year, the risk looks to be worth it.  You can likely get him at a great value with possibly seven or more TEs being snatched up ahead of him, but Daniels has every possibility in the world to end up in the top-5 by season’s end.  Take a chance, but at the same time, cover your ass with a good backup soon after you do.


~ Daniels was leading the league in tight end targets when he suffered his injury, a stat that could continue into this year


~ His past injuries might start to make him shade on the tentative side


~ Despite the nice progress in his offseason rehab, it’s possible he might be slowed a bit


~ Will the Texans offense, and QB Matt Schaub in particular, forget just how valuable of a weapon he is?

Contract


Daniels was offered a first- and third-round tender by the Texans, which he ended up signing in June this offseason.  The tender ended up being for $3.168 million, but if Daniels proves he can stay healthy, expect a long-term deal to come his way either during the 2010 season or sometime soon after:


2010 – $3.168 million


2011 – Free Agent

Injury Report

Yellow

Three ACL-related injuries in his career, with the last one ending his 2009 season, leads us to worry just a bit about Owen

Breaking News

Daniels has torn ACL, out for the season expand +

The Houston Texans' worst fears were confirmed today as it was announced that tight end Owen Daniels indeed has a torn ACL and will be out for the remainder of the 2009 season.

Pyro's Take:

That's a HUGE loss for Matt Schaub and the Texans, as Daniels had garnered the most tight end targets in the NFL up to this point. Schaub's fantasy football value takes a slight hit to be sure, while Owen owners must now look to either their bench or the waiver wire for a replacement.

Owen Daniels injures knee during game expand +

Texans tight end Owen Daniels injured his knee in the first quarter today and had to be assisted off the field.

Pyro's Take:

It's being called a sprain at this point but we'll see what the real story is later in the day or possibly tomorrow. Either way, Daniels is not expected to return.

Owen Daniels becoming force to be reckoned with expand +

Texans coach Gary Kubiak raved to the media on Thursday about his tight end, Owen Daniels:
"Owen is becoming a big-time player in this league. He's more consistent in the run game for us than he's ever been. Obviously, y'all know the plays he can make in the pass game. O.D. is a real pro. He's going to do it for a long, long time. This place has got a good one for a long time."

Pyro's Take:

Daniels has been kicking ass and taking names so far this year and should be starting every week for your fantasy football team.

No new contract for Owen Daniels expand +

The Houston Texans have said they will not give starting TE Owen Daniels a new contract this year, even though he clearly is unhappy with his current one. Daniels is under contract until 2011.

Pyro's Take:

After the Bucs made TE Kellen Winslow the highest paid TE ever (and biggest mistake ever), Daniels, whose numbers rival Winslow's, has lobbied for a new contract. He won't get one until next year and it won't affect his performance on the field, as he reported to training camp on time and is ready to go.
