SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #40   
Overall: #279


Dreessen had a career year, getting some chances to start because of injury to Owen Daniels. Dreessen finished with 36 receptions for 518 yards. He displayed some big-play ability, having a 100-yard game and also finishing with an impressive average of 14.4 yards per reception for the season. Dreeseen has at least 26 receptions two straight seasons. His role will be diminished with Daniels healthy, but he'll still get a few chances in the passing game. Dreessen isn't flashy, but has pretty good hands and finds space in the secondary. He is tough to bring down with the ball in his hands.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Dreessen has some potential when starting, but he isn't likely to find the starting lineup this season. With that said, he can get 25 receptions for around 300 yards and a score or two. But if Daniels gets hurt, Dreessen is worth grabbing for a few spot starts.

Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said TE Joel Dreessen will start in Week 14 but will split playing time with TE Owen Daniels (hamstring) during the game, reports Nick Scurfield, of HoustonTexans.com.
Fantasy Impact: Dreessen has been playing well so it makes sense for him to get the starting nod even with Daniels healthy.
