Mo Alie-Cox Fantasy

The Indianapolis Colts placed a second-round tender on restricted free-agent tight end Mo Alie-Cox. He is coming off a 31-catch season and is viewed as an excellent blocker around the league. If another team tries to sign Alie-Cox, they'll have to give the Colts a second-round draft pick as compensation. Wide receiver Zach Pascal also received the second-round tender. The 27-year-old finished with 394 yards and two touchdowns on his 31 grabs last season, but his path to fantasy relevance remains mostly blocked by the presence of Jack Doyle and the team's commitment to the running game. In his three years with the Colts, Alie-Cox has 46 receptions on 63 targets for 620 yards and four touchdowns in 40 games (nine starts).

Indianapolis Colts tight ends Trey Burton (knee) and Mo Alie-Cox (knee) were both added to the injury report on Wednesday after they were unable to practice. It's unclear if either player is in serious danger of sitting out in Week 15 against the Texans, but it's something to watch as the week progresses. Burton is the most fantasy relevant of the two, but he didn't see a single target in the 44-27 win over the Raiders in Week 14. The Colts utilize Burton, Alie-Cox and Jack Doyle at tight end, essentially canceling all three of them out for fantasy relevance. But if both Burton and Alie-Cox cannot play this weekend, Doyle would enter the streaming picture against Houston. Doyle has just 14 catches for 170 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games this season.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (knee) has been given the thumbs up to take the field Thursday against Tennessee and should see a sizable role with Jack Doyle (concussion) out of the mix. Alie-Cox has blossomed as a favored red-zone target for quarterback Philip Rivers, having hauled in two touchdown catches this year while also having his first 100-yard game to his credit back in Week 2. Still, Alie-Cox represents a roll-of-the-dice season-long asset due to both the emergence of Trey Burton and the health of T.Y. Hilton, who will also be suiting up Thursday. For those fantasy managers eyeing low-priced, touchdown-dependent targets for single-game DFS contests, Alie-Cox is an option, albeit a risky one.
