Andrew Luck, TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne, Coby Fleener Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

Matt FitzgeraldNov 30, 2014

Andrew Luck did all he could to make sure the Indianapolis Colts protected their home turf in Week 13's 49-27 win over Washington at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Although the visitors were staying within striking distance, Luck remained aggressive through the air and produced several explosive plays. Dynamic pass-catching tight end Coby Fleener was on the receiving end of two of Luck's five touchdown tosses.

ESPN Stats & Info highlighted just how amazing Luck was:

T.Y. Hilton also made the most of his targets and got to the end zone for the fifth time this season, while Reggie Wayne had a quieter outing but remains no less than a fantasy WR2 on any given Sunday.

Drop issues have plagued Fleener and brought about fair criticism, but Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star noticed how Fleener's skill set can give opposing defenses difficulties:

With Dwayne Allen out of the lineup, Fleener is getting even more targets and has emerged as a TE1 late in the year. Since he's familiar with Hamilton's offense from college and was roommates with Luck at Stanford, the sky seems to be the limit for Fleener with regard to his fantasy upside.   

On the other hand, Allen has been a touchdown machine when he's been in the lineup in 2014. If and when he returns, Fleener's value will diminish a bit, but there are few better alternatives at this point in the year.
