Raise your hand if you predicted Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen to score not one, but three touchdowns during the team’s game against the New York Jets last Monday. If your hand is raised, put it back down because no one could have predicted that kind of night out of Allen.

Especially since he only had a total of two touchdown catches in his previous nine games this season.
Fantasy Impact: If anyone is thinking that the Colts tight end will have a repeat performance this week when the team takes on the Houston Texans, think again.
In 2016, the Texans’ defense is giving up the fourth least fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. They have not allowed the position group to score multiple touchdowns in a game since Week 1 of 2015.
Yahoo! has Allen projected to catch just three passes for 33 yards and zero trips to the end zone on Sunday versus Houston. There is really no reason for any fantasy owners to be starting the Indianapolis tight end this week.
