Coach Chuck Pagano said he expects Coby Fleener's reception total to double this season. Serving mostly as an in-line tight end for Bruce Arians, Fleener was asked to block far too often as a rookie. It resulted in a disappointing 26/281/2 line in 12 games. Now Arians is in Arizona and Fleener is reunited with former Stanford offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton. Over his final two years of college, Fleener totaled 62 catches, 1,107 yards and 17 touchdowns while acting in his natural role as a pure pass catcher. He's on the TE2 radar as a sneaky upside pick.

Colts GM Ryan Grigson says the plan is to use second-year TE Coby Fleener out in space more often in 2013. Fleener, the No. 34 overall pick in last year's draft, had a mostly disappointing rookie campaign. He played in just 13 games, including the playoffs, due to a shoulder injury and caught only 29 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns. A pure pass catcher in college, Fleener was asked to block nearly half of the time as a rookie. Per Pro Football Focus, he ran just 9.1 percent of his routes out of the slot. Expect that to be much higher this season.

Coby Fleener three passes on five targets for 25 yards at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Fleener's 7-yard reception led to a 47-yard Adam Vinatieri field goal, but he was non-factor the rest of the way. The 34th overall pick in the 2012 draft was overshadowed by third-round Dwayne Allen, finishing 39th in fantasy points. He was limited to 12 games by shoulder and head injuries. Fleener remains an intriguing "hold" in Dynasty leagues.

Coby Fleener caught a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over the Texans. Fleener scored on the Colts' opening drive of the game, but was otherwise a non-factor. Since returning in Week 12, he hasn't had more than 26 yards in five straight games and is still behind Dwayne Allen as Andrews Luck's favorite tight end. Fleener will look to get back in the endzone for next week's Wild Card matchup with the Ravens.

Coby Fleener caught one pass for a 26-yard touchdown in the Colts' Week 13 win over the Lions.

Coby Fleener (shoulder) is listed as probable for Week 13 after getting in a full week of practice. Fleener will return from his four-week absence against the Lions, but it will likely be to a complementary role alongside fellow rookie TE Dwayne Allen. Allen is the No. 26 tight end in Rotoworld's Week 13 ranks, checking in one spot ahead of Fleener.

Coby Fleener (shoulder) is practicing in full this week. After being limited last week, it's looking like Fleener will return for Sunday's matchup against the Lions. Fantasy owners will want to temper expectations, though. Fleener has missed the last four games and is likely to be the Colts' second tight end option behind Dwayne Allen.

Speaking at Monday's presser, Colts coach Bruce Arians said Coby Fleener (shoulder) would be "ready to go" for Wednesday's practice. Fleener got in three limited sessions last week, but this is an indication he's ready to practice in full. Fleener was expected to miss 2-3 games when he went down in Week 8, so this is in line with his timeline. Fleener was turning in middling stat-lines before going down, and with Dwayne Allen stepping up in his absence, he won't be returning to any fantasy value.

Coby Fleener (shoulder) is inactive for Week 12 versus the Bills. Dwayne Allen will, once again, have borderline TE1 value this week. Weslye Saunders will start in Fleener's place, as the Colts start two tight ends. Indianapolis also declared CB Vontae Davis (knee), DE Clifton Geathers, TE Dominique Jones, OL Tony Hills, LB Mario Harvey, and DT Josh Chapman inactive.

The Indianapolis Star suspects Coby Fleener (shoulder, questionable) will sit out one more week. Fleener got in limited work this week, but is still in recovery mode. The Colts signed Dominque Jones earlier in the week, presumably to give Fleener more time. In that case, Dwayne Allen would continue to have borderline TE1 value versus the Bills.
