Dwayne Allen paid off those who rostered him last week, catching 4 of his 6 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown. He was in for 70 percent of the team's snaps and finished the week third in tight end scoring behind just Julius Thomas and teammate Jack Doyle. It was also encouraging to see Andrew Luck throw three red zone touchdowns to tight ends, as well as a two-point conversion to Allen. Allen appears to be in a great spot to have a major role in the red zone for a high-scoring Indianapolis Colts offense this season.

Indy will likely have a much tougher time reaching the 35 points they put up this week in Week 2 against a tough Denver Broncos defense, but the way to attack Denver's defense is with the tight end position. Denver gave up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season and allowed Greg Olsen to catch 7 passes for 73 yards in Week 1, both of which ranked second among tight ends last week.

With Indy's receivers potentially locked up against Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, and Bradley Roby, Allen could be in line for more targets this week and is again an excellent streaming option at tight end.
