Houston Texans TE Owen Daniels (hip) may be a game time decision this week after suffering a nasty hip injury in Week 9. According to the official team website, coach Gary Kubiak says that it's a "bad, bad hip pointer" after only calling it a hip bruise earlier in the week.
Owen Daniels’ fantasy status in question with hip pointer
Owen Daniels has been missing practice this week with a possible hip pointer, and his status for Sunday Night is in question. We break down the fantasy implications.

Daniels has 37 catches for 478 yards and five TDs through eight games on the season.
Fantasy Impact: Daniels is a crucial part of the Texans’ offense, so losing him would be a big blow against Chicago’s bruising defense. We’ll keep monitoring the injury reports and see if his hip improves before Sunday.
For now, consider him “questionable” and a game time decision. The Texans draw the SNF game, so fantasy owners can expect a long, anxious wait Sunday.
