Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener has fallen behind fellow tight end Dwayne Allen as far as quarterback Andrew Luck's favorite targets go. While Allen has four touchdown and has seen plenty of targets, Fleener has just 11 catches for 139 yards on the season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Coby Fleener
Dwayne Allen is scoring in bunches and Coby Fleener has slowed down. Should fantasy owners start them this week?
Andy Lyons
He is coming off a one-catch game against the Baltimore Ravens and hasn't had more than 50 yards in a game all season. On the plus side, he does have two touchdowns, both of which came in blowouts.
If you catch a highlight of the Houston Texans, you probably saw defensive end J.J. Watt make a play. Because of that, the Colts are probably going to play Fleener closer to the offensive line and will likely limit his routes. Of course, that means he gets less targets and is unlikely to have a big day.
Fantasy impact: He’s just not a reliable option on a short week. Fantasy owners should view him as a low-end TE2 and he’s not worth stashing even after the bad matchup.
