It doesn’t take a smart fantasy owner or even a replacement referee to know that wide outs Kevin Ogletree and Stephen Hill will be hyped prior to week two. But tight ends worth roster consideration are rare but there are a few out there for you this week.
Analysis: Owen Daniels is owned in about eighty percent of leagues but that should be changing very soon. Daniels was targeted eight times Sunday, fifth most among all tight ends. Daniels’ 87 receiving yards led all NFL tight ends on Sunday, so all signs point to buying now before his value rises further. It is rather apparent that Houston has absolutely nothing at wide out outside of Andre Johnson, so this could be another big year for the oft-injured tight end.
Coby Fleener is another tight end you may want to be buying at the moment. Fleener was targeted ten times for six receptions and 82 yards Sunday. The Colts will be trailing in tons of games this year and Fleener will benefit greatly from “second half come-from-behind-junk-yards.” Fleener is available in seventy percent of leagues but his stock will be rising in the weeks to come as well.
