2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on May-14-2012 by Chris Weeks

Daniels finished the 2011 season as the Texans' leading receiver in both yards (with 677) and receptions (with 54). With the return of Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson, we expect Daniels' numbers to be even better this year. Johnson's presence on the outside should help open up the middle of the field for Owens. In addition, having Schaub back under center should allow for most opportunities for Daniels. We don't expect Daniels to finish as a top 5 tight end this season, but he could post numbers worthy of starting in some fantasy leagues.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	13.02	TheProFFiler
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	13.01	FansFantasyFootball.com - I know he is an injury risk but round 13 seems like stealing.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	13.02	DraftSharks.com - Tight end is RIDICULOUSLY deep this year. I strongly considered Keller last turn and think he's a redraft starter. I strongly considered Greg Olsen here and like his upside. I wound up with Daniels because I want to have him somewhere. He has posted big reception numbers when on the field with Schaub. The Texans let Joel Dreessen walk and didn't pursue a WR2 upgrade as many expected. They're leaving that position to Kevin Walter and a few guys with made-up names. Even Andre Johnson might be wearing down. Daniels, meanwhile, won't turn 30 until November and could turn in a surprise season -- especially in PPR.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	11.07	2MugsFF.com - Not in love with Daniels, but he's my favorite of what is left in terms of PPR. Definitely the weak spot on my tam after waiting until now to grab a TE. Olsen was my top choice and he lost made it back to me.
