Mo Alie-Cox

Week 6 vs. Houston Texans

Mo Alie-Cox has been wildly inconsistent throughout his career and the Colts’ tight ends have been difficult to project during his tenure. However, he’s coming off two straight games with at least four targets and three receptions, and he followed up a two-touchdown performance in Week 4 with three catches and 50 yards last week against the Ravens. The main concern is that Jack Doyle is still out snapping him, but it’s encouraging.

Alie-Cox has some streaming upside against a vulnerable Texans defense that ranks 30th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. We have him ranked outside starting territory, but if you’re desperate, his production trend has a decent chance of continuing in a nice matchup. He’s a risky bet, but one that might be worth the gamble if you’re struggling.

Week 13 at Houston Texans

Mo Alie-Cox is an interesting option at the tight end position because of his athleticism and because he’s seeing more snaps than the other Colts tight ends – including Trey Burton. However, he's had just seven total receptions over his past three games combined and has only eclipsed 50 yards twice all year. He also hasn’t scored since Week 4 against the Bears. With Burton healthy, sit Alie-Cox.

Week 11 vs. Green Bay Packers

Mo Alie-Cox caught three of four balls for 19 yards last week. He’s still splitting time with Trey Burton – and Jack Doyle, when healthy – but he may be the most talented and traditional tight end of the three. He has shown to cause mismatches across the field and has had some productive moments. He has a tough matchup against the Packers’ third-ranked defense in aFPA to opposing tight ends this week, and he’s still splitting work, making it hard to trust him. He’s a deep-league stash option at best, and should stay on waivers in most leagues.
