New Colts OC Pep Hamilton believes TE Dwayne Allen can be a "tremendous weapon."
"If you just look at the versatility of Dwayne Allen," said Hamilton, "and his ability to line up in the backfield and lead block, or detach and line up in the slot and win the one-on-one matchup, that’s a tremendous weapon." Hamilton's opinion jibes with Allen's rookie-year film. Although Allen's elite blocking is a major asset for the Colts' offense, it caps his fantasy upside. Feb 15 - 9:43 AM

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught four passes for 51 yards at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

Allen saw six targets to Coby Fleener's five. The highlight was a 22-yard catch-and-run. The 64th overall pick outproduced the more hyped Fleener, finishing 23rd in fantasy points. Drawing comparisons to Heath Miller and Alge Crumpler as a fine all-around tight end, Allen should be drafted as a TE2 in 2013.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen's 45 receptions broke Ken Dilger's Colts franchise record for rookie tight ends.

The more complete third-rounder has had a bigger impact than second-rounder Coby Fleener. A favorite of NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell, Allen has drawn comparisons to Heath Miller for his versatility, size, blocking ability, hands, and receiving skills. He finished 23rd in fantasy points compared to 39th for Fleener.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught two passes for 21 yards in the Colts' regular season finale against the Texans.

Allen saw just three targets and was used in pass protection for most of the game. The Colts run a high-percentage of plays in two tight end sets, but have struggled to get both Allen and Coby Fleener consistently involved. Allen finishes his rookie campaign with 45 receptions and 521 receiving yards. Pro Football Focus graded him as the third overall tight end, and particularly strong in run blocking.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught three passes for 18 yards in the Colts' Week 16 win over the Chiefs.

He secured all three of his targets. Allen remains an effective on-field player, but he hasn't been a productive pass catcher since Coby Fleener returned from a midseason ankle injury. Allen still figures to be a prominent part of Indy's offense in Week 17 against the Texans, and in the playoffs after that.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught three balls for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Allen has not been targeted regularly since Coby Fleener's return, but he was efficient on Sunday, securing all three of the balls thrown his way. Although Allen is a very promising and versatile young player, he will not be a strong TE1 option in fantasy finals week when the Colts visit to Arrowhead Stadium.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught just one pass for 11 yards in the Colts' Week 14 win over the Titans.

Allen was targeted three times on Sunday, and since Coby Fleener has returned, neither player is a fantasy option. Fleener did leave the game early with a lower leg injury, though.
Sun, Dec 9, 2012 06:01:00 PM
Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught two passes for 50 yards in the Colts' Week 13 win over the Lions.

Allen watched fellow rookie tight end Coby Fleener return and catch a 26-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Allen ended up with just five targets even though Andrew Luck attempted 54 passes in a furious fourth-quarter comeback. We can't trust Allen as a TE2 any longer.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 12 victory over the Bills.

Allen hauled in three of his six targets on the afternoon, but he had an opportunity for a long gain in the first quarter had Andrew Luck's arm not been hit on the throw. Allen did see one end zone target as well but couldn't convert. Once Coby Fleener (shoulder) returns, neither player will be a reliable fantasy option.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 05:18:00 PM
Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught six passes for 69 yards in Indianapolis' Week 11 loss to the Patriots.

With Coby Fleener (shoulder) on the shelf, Allen drew a whopping 11 targets, but also committed two easy drops. Regardless, he's clearly someone Andrew Luck has grown comfortable throwing to, and with Fleener expected to remain out in Week 12, Allen will be a high-end TE2 against the Bills.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 08:36:00 PM
Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught two passes for 31 yards in Week 10 against the Jaguars.

With Coby Fleener out once again, Allen was the lone tight end threat for Indy, but he saw just three targets on the night. Andrew Luck only threw the ball 26 times, and Reggie Wayne saw 12 of the passes. After Allen racked up a season-high 75 yards last week, he was a popular add as a bye-week fill-in. He's no more than a deep-league TE2, though.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught six passes for a season-high 75 yards versus the Dolphins in Week 9.

Allen drew a downfield pass interference penalty on Koa Misi to set up Reggie Wayne's 9-yard touchdown. With Coby Fleener out of the lineup, Allen's saw a season-high seven targets in an increased role. The rookie is on pace for a 46/498/4 stat line heading into Week 10 at Jacksonville.
Sun, Nov 4, 2012 05:21:00 PM
Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Colts TE Dwayne Allen is expecting more targets now that Coby Fleener (shoulder) is out at least two weeks.

Allen is averaging just 4.0 targets per game over the last four weeks, leading to a total of 10 catches for 136 yards with one touchdown during that span. Now that Fleener is out, Allen figures to see more third-down targets and run more routes. He's on the deep-league TE2 radar against the Dolphins this week.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught four passes on five targets for 56 yards at Tennessee in Week 8.

The Colts featured Allen on their first two plays, a play-action pass for 20 yards and a tight-end screen for 16 more. Allen outproduced fellow rookie Coby Fleener (3 targets, 2 catches, 24 yards), who returned in the third quarter after sustaining a shoulder injury just before halftime. Neither tight end is a trustworthy fantasy option going forward.

Dwayne Allen - TE - Colts

Dwayne Allen caught just one pass for nine yards in Week 7.

He was targeted twice. Allen plays a role in Indianapolis' red-zone offense, but doesn't make plays downfield and isn't a legit re-draft fantasy option.
