Colts tight end Coby Fleener (knee) is listed as probable to face the Raiders on Sunday afternoon. Head coach Chuck Pagano confirmed that Fleener will play after the Stanford product put in a full week of practice.
Coby Fleener injury update: Knee concerns essentially a non-issue in fantasy this week
Coby Fleener (knee) is probable to face the Raiders. We break down the fantasy implications.

In his rookie season, Fleener caught 26 balls for 281 yards and two TDs. He was targeted 48 times, so he and Andrew Luck weren't quite on the same page. This summer, there have been reports that Fleener has turned some heads, but his knee injury and a concussion over the past month have kept him under the radar.
Fantasy impact: The Colts are going to use him off the line and he will likely be in motion on most formations on running and passing downs. he serves as a big enough target to be an option in the end zone and now that he’s reunited with his offensive coordinator from Stanford, it could get interesting. He’s still too risky to start this week, though.
