Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels is a game-time decision for Sunday night's matchup against the Chicago Bears. Daniels (hip) got in very little practice this week and is officially questionable for the primetime game.
Owen Daniels injury update: Fantasy status harmed by game-time decision
Owners in a bind will want to have a backup plan for Daniels. We break down the fantasy implications.
Thomas Campbell-US PRESSWIRE
James Casey and Garrett Graham are Houston's other options at tight end.
Fantasy Take: It's been a very productive season for Daniels, as his five touchdowns already tie a career high. Without tight end touchdown vulture Joel Dreessen around anymore, Daniels has become one of Matt Schaub's favorite red-zone targets. However, it sounds very unlikely that Daniels will start on Sunday.
If he’s your only option, have Casey as an emergency backup plan.
