Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener caught three passes for 16 yards and did not find the end zone in his team's Week 6 loss to the San Diego Chargers. Fleener was targeted six times and dropped at least one Luck pass that was on target. The Colts receivers didn't have a very good showing on the big stage, and there were drops to go around. Fleener was highly touted going into his second year, but he has been a big disappointment since assuming the major tight end role with the season ending injury to Dwayne Allen. On the year, Fleener has 17 catches on 28 targets for 197 yards and two touchdowns.
Coby Fleener concerns fantasy owners with awful MNF performance
Indianapolis Colts tight end Coby Fleener caught three passes for 16 yards in the Week 6 loss to the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
Fantasy impact: Fleener will remain the Colts' No. 1 receiving tight end and should continue to get targets, but he simply isn't producing right now. He is a match-up tight end only at this point or a possible bye week or injury replacement. Fantasy owners should start him at their own risk until he shows more consistency. The Colts will face the Denver Broncos in Week 7 and they do give up some decent yardage to tight ends.
