On principle I never have Raiders on my team, since they have a tendency to just fold up. Daniels will get more looks this week with Kevin Walter limited/out.
Fortune favours the bold.

I don't think you can really go wrong here. Both TE's have good matchups and good scenarios.

Zach Miller was great against the Chargers last year. In 2 games vs SD, he had 160 yds and a TD. JaMarcus Russell doesn't seem to have gotten any worse, I'd even go so far as to say he might have improved a little.

Owen Daniels also looks good this week. Kevin Walter is likely out, which should translate into Daniels getting a bigger share of the short passes. Jets should bring a heavy blitz, which could mean quick outs to Daniels instead of long bombs to Andre Johnson.

I am picking Zach Miller by a tiny bit for a couple reasons. he should run more downfield routes, of which 1 or 2 should turn into catches for nice gains. Even without Kevin Walter, Daniels has more competition for targets, namely Andre Johnson one of the best WR's in the NFL. Schaub will always look to Johnson first, whereas Miller could often be Russell's first choice.

Zach Miller: 4 catches, 70 yds, 1 TD
Owen Daniels: 7 catches, 60 yds, 0 TD

Thanks to all but I am really torn on this one. Anyone else?

Owen Daniels vs Jets or Zach Miller vs Chargers?

I would go with Daniels. As long as Schaub can stay healthy he will have a big year. Miller has tons of talent but I hate Russell throwing the ball to him.
