Fleener acknowledged that he has some catching up to do when it comes to learning the New Orleans offense, The Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener is also learning how to work with Drew Brees, after catching passes from Andrew Luck throughout college and his first four professional seasons. Though he may need some time to integrate, Fleener figures to have a key role from the get-go, as he signed a five-year, $36 million deal in March. The New Orleans offense has been rather friendly to tight ends during Brees' tenure, with Jimmy Graham's impressive run followed by a shocking breakout season from Ben Watson last year. Watson left for Baltimore in the offseason, leaving Fleener as the clear top target at tight end.

Fleener has signed a five-year deal with the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener, who caught 54 passes for 491 yards and three TDs with the Colts in 2015, will now have a chance to work in coach Sean Payton's offense, with Drew Brees at quarterback, a scenario that should boost the tight end's fantasy prospects in 2016.

Fleener caught all seven of his targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 victory over the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener's 57-yard touchdown in the first quarter was the catalyst behind a Colts victory, but the team was eliminated from playoff contention after the Texans won their game against the Jaguars. His 88 receiving yards in this one were a season high, but he hadn't topped 50 yards in a game since Week 4 coming in.

Fleener had two receptions for 13 yards and was targeted four times in Sunday's win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener's season is ending on a sour note as he has just four receptions in his last three games. With fourth-string quarterback Stephen Morris likely to start in Week 17, Fleener may not improve next week.

Fleener had just one reception for 12 yards and was targeted three times in Sunday's loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener was targeted in the end zone on a throw that maybe should have been caught, but otherwise wasn't much of a factor. Given Indy's overall struggles in the passing game, Fleener may not see much improvement the next two games unless Andrew Luck returns.

Fleener had just one reception for six yards and was targeted four times in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

It's odd that Fleener was targed just four times in a game where Indy fell behind early and attempted 43 passes. Fleener remains one of the top targets in the Indy passing game, but the offense has de-emphasized tight ends and the passing game has struggled the past two weeks without Andrew Luck.

Fleener caught four passes for 20 yards on eight targets in Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite seeing his third-highest target total of the season, Fleener fell short of 50 yards for an eight consecutive week. He may fare a bit better when Andrew Luck (kidney) returns, but the Indianapolis offense simply hasn't emphasized the tight ends this season, and Fleener has done nothing to earn more targets.

Fleener had three receptions for 27 yards and was targeted three times in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

The Colts targeted their top two wide receivers 21 times in Sunday's game as the tight ends were not involved much in the game plan. Fleener was among the team leaders in targets the three previous weeks, so he has some upside to get more involved.

Fleener had three receptions for 45 yards and was targeted five times in Sunday's win at Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener was second in targets as he's been in the top two the last three weeks. While that didn't translate into large fantasy value Sunday, it shows he'll remain at the top of the options of the passing game with Matt Hasselbeck taking over at quaraterback the next few weeks with Andrew Luck hurt.

Fleener had four receptions for 22 yards and was targeted a team-high six times in Sunday's win over Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Fleener has led the Colts in targets the last two weeks. He should remain one of the top four targets in the Indy passing game, which has some upside if Sunday's win indicates the team's offense will improve after early struggles.
