Dwayne Allen has quietly been on a roll. While his yardage isn't exactly turning heads, Allen has found the end zone four of the first six weeks of the season. He's primed for a big day against the Cincinnati Bengals, who are giving up a ton of production to tight ends this season. Quarterback Andrew Luck will likely provide a handful of targets to Allen, provided he and the Colts offense have realized that the Bengals struggle to stop the middle of the field.

Fantasy impact: Allen is normally a low-end TE1, at best, simply because he doesn’t rack up a lot of receptions or yardage. He tends to be touchdown-dependent on a team full of weapons for Luck. If the Colts have done their homework, which we’re sure they have, they’ll rely on Allen for some big plays. Allen could offer solid TE1 numbers for anyone who needs to plug in an option at tight end.
