Owen Daniels

Week 17 – Owen Daniels vs. Cleveland
Owen Daniels disappointed everyone last week, putting up only seven yards on one reception. He was thrown at six times, but in an off day for the entire Baltimore offense, Daniels did nothing to help the team. This week, the Browns are a tough defense for him to contend with and he hasn’t been productive enough to warrant real fantasy consideration anyway. He’s barely in our top 20 this week, putting him outside fantasy starter territory.

Week 15 – Owen Daniels vs. Jacksonville

Owen Daniels had only two catches and 27 yards last week against a stingy Dolphins pass defense, and he’s a risky fantasy option each week anyway with limited upside. He’s been productive this season, but hasn’t put up the kind of production that you hope for when you count on a fantasy tight end.

This week, Daniels faces a below average Jaguars defense that has actually been okay against the tight end position. Either way, the Ravens will try to run the ball, and Daniels hasn’t been consistent enough to risk starting in most leagues. If you’re desperate, then there’s upside here, but generally speaking you should have better options than Daniels.

Week 13 – Owen Daniels vs. San Diego
Owen Daniels had only two catches for seven yards against the Saints on Monday night, although he was targeted five times. He’s been an inconsistent fantasy option this season, but he has value as the top guy on the depth chart in Baltimore. This week may not be a good one to start him however. He’ll face a Chargers defense that has allowed the third least fantasy points per game to the TE position. Daniels is not matchup proof, and fantasy owners should steer clear if possible.
