I'm not saying 100% of Fleener's targets and production with swing over to Allen, because on average, it won't. These stats do however reflect how often Luck looks towards his TEs. This week IND faces MIA who's actually disallowed a single TE to score on them. They however, haven't really played anyone of real merit since O.Daniels in week one and have given up the 11th most receptions to the position. I'll use Myers as a benchmark, because he's so easy to predict, but I'll say Allen has a very similar floor this week but a much higher ceiling. If you're in a pinch and are looking for a TE, Allen is your guy.
If you're going to be without Gronk or Davis this week, instead of looking at a guy with a high floor but no ceiling to speak of like Myers or someone unproven, fighting for action like Logan Paulsen, I'd advise you to grab Allen.Allen was already the RZ option over Fleener but wasn't getting many looks in between the 20s. I spoke in a thread dedicated to TEs how they were hurting each others value. That's about to change, at least for the next couple of weeks. Let's see how a single TE on this team would have been utilized and produced in a perfect world.Colts TE Coby Fleener (shoulder) will be out at least two weeks.
Fleener sustained a subluxation, or partial dislocation, of his left shoulder in last week's win over the Titans. He won't need surgery, but the Colts will be cautious as they wait for the joint to tighten back up. Fellow rookie Dwayne Allen will be on the TE2 radar in Week 9 as he picks up a couple more targets from Andrew Luck.
