Danny Amendola Fantasy

Despite multiple teams calling this offseason, two-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver Danny Amendola has decided to retire from professional football. "It was better than I could have ever imagined," Amendola said about his career. Amendola spent the 2021 season with the Houston Texans, catching 24 of 38 targets for 248 yards and three touchdowns in eight games (zero starts). The 36-year-old had his best season in his second year in the NFL with the Rams, going for 689 yards and three touchdowns on 85 receptions. In his five-year stint with the New England Patriots from 2013-17, Amendola had 230 catches (327 targets) for 2,383 yards and 12 touchdowns in 69 regular season games.

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola returned to action for Sunday's defeat to the Titans, but he saved his best performance of the season for Week 18. Amendola had previously accrued just one touchdown all year -- Week 1 against Jacksonville; he finished with seven catches for 113 yards and two scores vs. Tennessee, setting season highs in each category. Amendola finishes the year with three touchdowns, his highest total since 2016, whereas his receiving yards total (248) is the lowest since that same year. Houston's passing game was a struggle for the majority of '21 with or without him on the field, but he delivered for those aggressive DFS managers that slotted him into lineups. The veteran wideout is set to become a free agent ahead of his age-37 season, having appeared for four different franchises over the past five years.

Through seven games this season, he caught 17 passes for 135 yards and one touchdown. He's not on the fantasy radar whatsoever.
