After we did the podcast, I realized this team has some awesome firepower. If Owen Daniels is back, they have the #1 WR, a Top 5 QB and a Top 5 TE! It always comes down to injuries. Will this be Matt Schaubs second year of playing all 16? Will Owen Daniels' ACL help him out! Will Andre Johnson be in the Top 2 again? I can answer "Yes" to one of those questions. Two years of 1500 yards will do that to you! There is no reason to believe anything will change for Andre (I just call him that!). He's basically had the same year, two years in a row. Not bad when it lands you as the #2 and #1 fantasy receiver. Now, about Schaub and Daniels. If they're injury free, you've got to say they're Top 5. Schaub let all the NFL in yards and attempts last year. And he had 16 of his TD's in the 7 games that Daniels was around. With a whole year, you could see his TD number increase from 29 last year and vault him up even higher. And Daniels' last three games before the injury - 295 yds, 3 TDs -lead you to believe he could definitely crack the Top 5 if his knee is all the way back!
The big question is....WHO'S GONNA BE THEIR....KICKER? No, just kidding! But we love Neil Rackers to win that battle and be fantasy relevant. But, you have to wonder what's going to happen with the RB situation (I mean, it's not like LeBronGate, but pretty interesting!) My gut tells me Arion Foster, but I like the underdog. Steve Slaton says his neck is 100% healed and thanks God for it! We are talking about the #6 fantasy back of two years ago, and Houston wants to improve the running game. And all reports say that the Texans love Ben Tate. So, you don't really know. It seems the experts are saying Slaton or Tate, but I'd recommend you at least drafting all three.
By the way, want a deep sleeper? Jacoby Jones! Andre has been taking him under his wing. Not sure how many yards there are to go around if Daniels is back, but he could snag some of them up!
