Following a slow start to the season in which the Colts found themselves 0-2, Pep Hamilton and quarterback Andrew Luck said that the team needed to get the tight ends more involved in the offense.

And on Sunday in a Week 4 win over the Jaguars, the Colts did just that.

With Dwayne Allen out for this contest with an ankle injury, Coby Fleener was on the receiving end of 12 targets, converting 9 of these into 83 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars.

A size-speed freak -- he stands at 6' 6" and 251 pounds and boasts a 4.51 40-yard dash time -- Fleener is an obvious mismatch for opposing defenses. With Allen never a sure bet to stay healthy and the tight end position being more prominently featured in the Colts offense, Fleener could continue to play a big role on this team, giving fantasy football managers a reliable, low-end TE1 option, at least for the time being.
