ANALYSIS: In Week 9, I was hopeful that Owen Daniels would have a big game.  To my surprise and I’m sure many others Daniels had his knee scoped and did not play.  Surprisingly last week he came back and produced with a decent game (6 catches, 53 yards on 9 targets).  As I’ve mentioned before Baltimore offensive coordinator, Gary Kubiak, uses tight ends frequently in his offensive play calls.  Daniels and Kubiak have familiarity of each other through their time together at the Texans.

This week Daniels will be facing a middle of the road defense against tight ends (14th overall) that allowed over a 100 total yards to tight ends (Paul & Reed) in Week 7.  Daniels is currently the 11th most targeted TE on the season which is impressive considering he missed a game to injury and was a backup when the season began.  If you are looking for a bye week target Daniels is my first waiver wire choice for tight ends.
