It has been a while since fantasy owners have been able to rely on Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels, but on Monday night, even in a losing effort, Daniels showed why he's an obvious fantasy factor when healthy, catching five passes for 91 yards. And frankly, if not for an awful drop and lack of hookups on numerous other passes that were in his neighborhood, Daniels could have had a far better performance.

As it was, Daniels was targeted 11 times, the second most among tight ends in Week 14 (Dustin Keller had 12), and his 91 receiving yards led tight ends. It had been two months since Daniels delivered a fantasy point at all, so you can be forgiven for not considering him a viable starting option (though he was active in 8.5 percent of ESPN standard leagues). But he certainly appears viable moving ahead.


To see whose fantasy value ias rising and whose is falling heading into Week 15, and why, you must be an ESPN Insider.
