Owen Daniels Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Am I really recommending a TE that is not Gronk or Greg Olsen this week? Well hear me out…this is the biggest price gap that we have seen at any position in DFS that I can think of between Olsen at $7,100 on DraftKings and Owen Daniels the next highest option at $2,300. This play would only make sense from a game strategy standpoint, because Daniels has only scored double digit fantasy points four times on the year. However, if you plug in Daniels, you can essentially plug in whoever you want at the other positions and it basically becomes a pick ‘em, not having to worry about salary. Likewise, if you happen to catch lighting in a bottle with Daniels and he has five or six receptions and maybe a touchdown, he will be extremely low owned. If all of the players you were able to pay up for had games that you were expecting, Daniels could singlehandedly place you high in a GPP. Also if Gronk and/or Olsen have a poor showing, you will have faded them and were able to spend up on the rest of your roster, giving you a huge leg up on your opponents. With all of that being said, I am not necessarily recommending you play Daniels, as Gronk and Olsen are obviously far superior options, but it’s the type of risky move you may have to make in a GPP on a super short slate. This is strictly a GPP option as Daniels should not be used in cash games, but from a game strategy perspective it could make sense for you to run with Daniels this week and fill out the rest of your roster with all elite plays.
