Coby Fleener, TE, Indianapolis Colts

I'm going to suggest to pump the brakes on assuming he's a surefire stud this week, though I wouldn't go so far as to suggest to outright bench Coby Fleener. He's still seeing plenty of looks, even though the team's top tight end, Dwayne Allen, has returned from his injury, so that will help to buoy his value. However, this offense is not highly predicated on the use of two tight ends, so unless they keep trotting Fleener out to replace the aged and worn-down Reggie Wayne in the slot, I don't know if his offensive outburst will keep up.

Against a Houston Texans' defense that has allowed a combined 14 points to tight ends over the past five weeks, I would consider Fleener a major boom-bust risk. It's the playoffs, so it's always recommended to "go big or go home", but make sure you balance out a riskier decision like Fleener with a few safer options as well, if you go that route.
