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. Mar 25 - 7:01 PM

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

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 - TE - Colts

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 not involved on offense. Since returning in Week 12, he hasn't had more than 26 yards receiving in any game and is still behind Dwayne Allen as Andrews Luck's favorite tight end. Fleener will look to get back in the end zone for next week's Wild Card matchup with the Ravens.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

Coby Fleener caught one pass for two yards in the Colts' Week 16 win over Kansas City.

He was targeted three times. Fleener has not gained more than 30 yards in any game since mid-October. He'll continue to function as the Colts' No. 2 tight end, behind Dwayne Allen, in Indianapolis' Week 17 meeting with Houston.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

Coby Fleener caught one pass for 21 yards in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

It was his lone target. Fleener's return from a midseason ankle injury has sapped Dwayne Allen's fantasy value, but has translated to no value for Fleener himself. Leave Fleener on the waiver wire for fantasy finals week as the Colts match up with Kansas City on the road.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

Coby Fleener caught just one pass for nine yards in Week 14 against the Titans.

Fleener was targeted four times on the day, but Andrew Luck was missing high with his throws early on. The rookie tight end later left the game after getting his legs rolled up underneath him right before halftime. It's been an injury-riddled season for Fleener, and it's uncertain if this issue is serious.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

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

Fleener's return from a shoulder injury yielded his first career touchdown via a pretty wheel route. However, he ended up playing limited snaps and saw just two targets compared to five for Dwayne Allen. Owners in search of a TE2 need to look elsewhere, even with a plus matchup against the Titans on deck.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

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 - TE - Colts

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.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

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 - TE - Colts

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 open up with 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.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

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 Dominique 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.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

Coby Fleener (shoulder) is questionable for Week 12.

Fleener was limited in all three practices this week, and is probably less than 50-50 to suit up against the Bills. He should be good for Week 13, however. Even if Fleener does take the field this weekend, Dwayne Allen is the only Colts' tight end with any current fantasy value.

Coby Fleener - TE - Colts

Coby Fleener (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

It's unclear if Fleener has a real shot at returning, or if the Colts are simply trying to get him ready for Week 13. Either way, Dwayne Allen will be the Colts' tight end to start in fantasy leagues this weekend.

Coby Fleener (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice.

Fleener has been upgraded to day-to-day. The Colts did sign TE Dominique Jones Wednesday, so Fleener could be shooting for a Week 13 return.
