Scouting report

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Buffalo

Dwayne Allen was a touchdown machine a year ago, catching eight in 13 games. But that's pretty much all he was good for. Allen finished the season with 29 receptions for 395 yards, which averages out to about two catches for 30 yards. Not exactly promising.

On top of everything else, Buffalo proves to be a tough matchup. The Bills were the No. 1 defense against tight ends in 2014, and will likely keep up their success. Allen is not a strong play this week.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 20, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Week 20 vs. New England
Dwayne Allen continued his endzone dominance last week. He finished with four receptions for 30 yards and a score. Allen doesn't usually put up big numbers, but he's a good bet to catch a touchdown. He's one of the better options at the position this week due to his high probability to score.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 19, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Week 19 vs. Denver

When Dwayne Allen faced the Broncos in Week 1 he had a productive day totaling four receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown. Allen's been successful all season long and the Broncos have struggled to cover the position.

Denver's defense has allowed the second-most receptions to tight ends this season. Allen typically doesn't catch a lot of passes, but he does catch touchdowns. He'll be one of the better options at tight end this week simply due to the lack of talent at the position. He's not an elite option, but he's a strong bet to find the endzone.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 18, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Wild Card vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Dwayne Allen hasn't caught a pass in the last two games because he's been dealing with a knee injury. He's officially listed as probable, so it's likely he'll be ready to play this week. In Allen's 13 starts this season he's averaged just 30 yards a game.

Allen's value comes in the redzone. In his 13 starts, he's also caught eight touchdowns. He's very likely to score a touchdown for the Colts. But if he doesn't, he could be a huge bust on your lineup.

Starting Allen is basically gambling he'll score a touchdown. He'll try to do it against a Bengals defense that's only allowed a touchdown to a tight end in four games this season.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Week 16 vs. Dallas
Dwayne Allen has found his calling. He's good at catching touchdowns. He's now caught a touchdown in eight games out of 11. That's not bad. He'll have the chance to put up good numbers this week in a favorable matchup against Dallas. The Cowboys have allowed the third-most points to tight ends this season. Allen should be viewed as a low-end TE1.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Week 15 vs. Houston Texans

Dwayne Allen didn't make a strong return last week. The Colts TE finished with just one reception for five yards on three targets. Allen is really only a strong option at TE when he scores a touchdown, which he's done in seven out of 10 games this season.

He'll draw a difficult matchup this week against Houston. The last time he played them he finished with three receptions on seven targets for 49 yards. He's not a strong option.

IND TE Dwayne Allen - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Dwayne Allen - Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns

Dwayne Allen is expected to return this week. He was injured early in the Patriots' game in Week 11 and has since missed the last two games. Before his injury he was one of the most reliable tight ends to find the endzone. He had scored seven times in nine games.

The concern with Allen moving forward is the emergence of Coby Fleener. The team's other tight end has put up huge numbers in Allen's absence and could continue to get looks.

For now it looks like the two may cancel each other out, causing headaches for fantasy owners. Assuming he suits up, Allen is a borderline TE1 because of his ability to score.
