Tight End Rank: #8
Overall: #69
It took some time, but Daniels finally got back to health late last season and it showed in his play. He was slowed early in the year, returning from a torn ACL. But to make matters worse, he suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of several games. He played very well the last four games, though, catching 22 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns. His overall season wasn't too bad, considering he played 11 games. Daniels still had 38 receptions for 471 yards. If he plays a full season, Daniels catches 53 passes for 686 yards, which are solid numbers a year removed from major knee surgery. For his career, Daniels has two seasons with 760-plus yards and another year with 70 receptions. He is the top pass-catching tight end for the Texans and one of the best in the league. Daniels runs good routes and has solid hands, making him a nice possession receiver. He gets a lot of chances in the offense and is the second option in the passing game behind Andre Johnson.

Daniels is an injury risk (played a full season two times in five years), but his upside is very high. He can finish among the league leaders at tight end in every category. The only knock on Daniels is a lack of scores (career high in touchdowns is five). If his scores were higher, you could make a case for him to be the first tight end taken. But until he starts scoring, consider him a top-five tight end. He can get 70 receptions for 800 yards and five touchdowns in this offense. |
