Is Coby Fleener a lock for TE1 production?

There’s been a lot of debate over new Saints TE Coby Fleener lately. Namely, should he be drafted inside the ten rounds of your fantasy draft? This fantasy pundit says yes.

After reading this article, you’re likely to go out and buy more Fleener stock, so consider yourself warned. Yes, it’s that good.

But before the good, we have to address the bad. Fleener’s performance with the Colts from 2012-2015 was mediocre at best. While I’m not here to debate that, he was ascending every year (before he had Matt Hasselbeck throwing him the ball) and finished as the No. 6 tight end in 2014.

Tight end is notoriously difficult to predict, because it’s typically very touchdown dependent. But with the Saints, it’s really not.
