NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Minnesota Vikings

Coby Fleener was a fantasy bust in his first season with the Saints. After signing a free agent deal during the 2016 offseason, Fleener finished with just 50 receptions for 631 yards and three touchdowns on 81 targets. He finished as fantasy’s TE12, which isn’t horrible, but Fleener certainly didn’t live up to his pre-season hype.

The Saints face the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday night, so they’ll have their work cut out for them against Mike Zimmer’s defense. Fleener ranks as our TE12 for Week 1, so consider him a low-end TE1 in deeper leagues against the Vikings’ No. 16 ranked defense against tight ends.

NO TE Coby Fleener - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

On paper, Coby Fleener is perfect for Sean Payton’s offense. He has the speed and route-running ability to thrive in New Orleans, plus Drew Brees loves to work the middle of the field. If Fleener can eliminate the drops, then he has the size and quickness to give linebackers and defensive backs fits. Given how shallow the tight end position is in fantasy, Fleener still offers plenty of upside despite his rough first season in New Orleans.

Fantasy Downside

Fleener finished as fantasy’s TE12 last year, so he wasn’t a complete bust. That said, considering he ranked as fantasy’s TE6 heading into the season, he certainly didn’t live up to his preseason hype either. Fleener caught just 50 passes for 631 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus lost playing time to Josh Hill late last year before Hill broke his leg in December. Yes, on paper, Fleener is the perfect fit for this offense. In reality, drops and frequent mistakes killed his on-field and fantasy production.

2017 Bottom Line

Now heading into his second season in New Orleans, Fleener could be ready for a rebound. That said, if drops continue to be a problem, both Payton and Brees could lose patience with Fleener and turn to Hill. Ranked as our TE14, Fleener is a low-end TE1 in deeper leagues. He’s probably a fantasy starter, but a borderline one at best.

NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Atlanta
Coby Fleener caught two-of-three targets for 30 yards in the Saints' Week 16 win over the Bucs. That's a typical stat line for Fleener, who has been a huge bust in his first season with the Saints. Ranked as our TE19 for Week 17, don't expect much from Fleener when the Saints visit the Falcons on Sunday.

NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay
Coby Fleener had another quiet day for the Saints, catching two-of-three targets for just 10 yards in the team's Week 15 win over the Cardinals. His performance came on a day in which Drew Brees completed 37 passes for 389 yards and four touchdowns. Ranked as our TE16 for Week 16, view Fleener as a TE2 only. He's off the fantasy radar.

NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Arizona
Coby Fleener caught one-of-three targets for six yards in the Saints' Week 14 loss to the Bucs. Owners that rolled the dice on Fleener thinking he would have a bigger role in the offense with Josh Hill (ankle) and Michael Thomas (foot) sidelined were burned once again by the tight end. Ranked as our TE18 for Week 15, it's best to avoid Fleener this Sunday against the Cardinals, who rank No. 1 against fantasy tight ends this season.

NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay
Coby Fleener caught five-of-seven targets for 86 yards in the Saints' Week 13 loss to the Lions. It was the most targets he's seen since Week 6 when he also drew seven targets in the Saints' victory over the Panthers. Of course, Fleener also had two drops in the loss and remains untrustworthy as a fantasy option. Even with Josh Hill sidelined with an ankle injury, Fleener is nothing more than a TE2 for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. He ranks as our TE15 for Week 14.

NO TE Coby Fleener - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Detroit
Coby Fleener caught all four of his targets for 59 yards in the Saints’ Week 12 victory over the Rams. The good news is that he led the team with 59 yards in the first half. The bad news is that was the only yardage he gained in the entire game, as he was shut out in the second half. Fleener is nothing more than a TE2, and a risky one at that. He ranks as our TE17 for Week 13 and should be avoided. Cameron Brate, Antonio Gates, Vance McDonald and Lance Kendricks are all better options than Fleener if you need a TE streamer for this week.
