Coby Fleener caught three passes for 64 yards in Sunday night's Week 9 win over the Texans.
Fleener got the majority of his yardage on a 44-yard catch in the first quarter and was a non-factor in the second half. With Reggie Wayne out for the season, he should continue to be more involved in the passing game. Fleener will be just a TE2 in Week 9 against the Rams.

Coby Fleener caught five passes for 38 yards and a touchdown in Week 7 against Denver.
Fleener was coming off back-to-back weeks of being held under 20 yards, so it was a much needed bounce back effort. He did all of his damage in the Colts final drive before halftime and was a non-factor in the second half. Fleener will still struggle with week-to-week consistency, but will be a borderline TE1 option when the Colts come out of their bye in Week 9 against the Texans.

Coby Fleener was held to 15 yards on two catches in the Colts' Week 5 win over the Seahawks.
One week after appearing to emerge as Andrew Luck's No. 2 passing-game option behind Reggie Wayne, Fleener took a clear backseat. He's been very inconsistent in the Colts' run-based offense. Consider Fleener a boom-or-bust TE1 option against the Chargers' weak defense next Monday night.

Coby Fleener caught two passes for 13 yards in Indianapolis' Week 3 win over the 49ers.
Seemingly in line for a bigger role after the Colts lost Dwayne Allen for the season, Fleener instead drew only two targets. It was a product of Indy's game plan, which called for running the ball down San Francisco's throat. Fleener is not yet an asset as a run blocker, which could throw a wrench into his quest for TE1 value. The Colts have made it clear they're going to run early and often this season.

Coach Chuck Pagano singled out Coby Fleener for his Week 2 performance.
"He played an excellent football game, not only in the pass game but also in the run game," Pagano said. Fleener finished with four catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on eight targets, playing on 83.5 percent of the snaps. Now that Dwayne Allen (hip) is done for the year, Fleener will continue to take on a big role in the passing game. The move tight end is on the back-end TE1 radar.

Coby Fleener caught four balls for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' Week 2 loss to the Dolphins.
He had another touchdown called back on a penalty away from the play. Fleener's role was noticeably bigger this week with Dwayne Allen (hip) among Indy's inactives. With Allen's injury not seeming serious, Fleener's fantasy trustworthiness will be dicey entering a Week 3 date with San Francisco.

Coby Fleener was limited to one catch for seven yards in the Colts' Week 1 win over the Raiders.
He was targeted just once among Andrew Luck's 23 pass attempts. Fleener has intriguing speed and ability, but needs to be treated as a TE2 only until he proves he deserves to be more than that. Perhaps Fleener's value could rise if Dwayne Allen (hip) misses time. The extent of Allen's injury is not known.

Coach Chuck Pagano confirmed Coby Fleener (knee) will play in Sunday's opener against the Raiders.
Fleener's mild knee sprain is water under the bridge. He lost some luster due to poor play and injuries in August, but he's still an explosive pass-catcher that can push the seam. Fleener is an ideal TE2 with upside.
