Colts tight end Coby Fleener (shoulder) missed practice all week and he has been ruled out in Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. This could require a multi-week absence.
Coby Fleener Injury Update: Out status makes Dwayne Allen an option in fantasy
Coby Fleener will not play against the Dolphins. Is Dwayne Allen someone to consider this week?
Thomas J. Russo-US PRESSWIRE
Fleener has been in a time-share with Dwayne Allen and the Stanford product has 21 catches on 33 targets for 222 yards and no TDs.
Fantasy Impact: The shoulder injury ruled him out early, so there's a good chance he might have to miss more time. The Colts have some nice depth at tight end and took a page out of the Patriots' book by double-dipping on tight end in the draft. Fleener can be cut in just about every league.
Allen is a sneaky play this week. He was a highly-touted prospect before he flopped at Clemson last year and now he's starting to come around. Owners with Gronk or Aaron Hernandez might want to give him a shot. For what it's worth, the Dolphins struggle against the pass.
