Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen has been solid thus far, but hasn't had a huge fantasy performance yet this season. One thing he's done well is consistently find the end zone, even if he's not putting up the yardage. In five games, he's caught four touchdown passes, one in each game outside of Week 2. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 5, Allen put up four receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Dwayne Allen
Dwayne Allen has been solid this year, but the Texans have been good against tight ends. We break down the fantasy implications.

In Week 6, Allen will go up against a Houston Texans defense that hasn't been great against the pass. Houston allows 253.2 passing yards per game, which is good for No. 21 in the league. But, Houston does generally defend tight ends well, ranking in the top five when it comes to fantasy points allowed to tight ends.
Fantasy Impact: Allen isn't a must-start in fantasy -- neither is Coby Fleener, the other tight end in Indianapolis -- but he's been getting consistent points. While the Texans are generally strong against tight ends, it's not enough to suggest Allen should be benched. There are much better options available at the position and in the flex spot, but fantasy owners shouldn't worry too much about this matchup.
