10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 7
Coby Fleener, TE, Indianapolis Colts
Trying to pinpoint the Indianapolis Colts tight end to use in a given week can be frustrating, but let's break it down anyway.
The matchup checks all the boxes: the Colts have the second-highest team total on the weekend (28.25 points), the Saints rank 29th against fantasy tight ends, and they are 29th in pass defense, according to our metrics. Points and passing stats should be there for the taking.
In Week 5, Dwayne Allen played 50 snaps, and Coby Fleener played 33. In Week 6, it was Fleener who saw 50 and Allen who got 35. The lone red zone look between them each week went to the guy who saw fewer snaps. Welp.
On nearly identical snaps in those games, though, Fleener saw nine targets, and Allen got only four. The potential in this game is high enough to hope one of them comes through, and based on the recent targets, Fleener gets the sleeper nod for Week 7.
