Coby Fleener excelling as a blocker

In pre-draft circles, Colts rookie TE Coby Fleener was considered a polished pass-catcher who needed to improve in the blocking game.  But OC Bruce Arians has the exact opposite assessment of the rookie.  “He’s a really good blocker on the offensive line," Arians said.  "We need to get him better as a receiver. But he’s making progress.”  Consider this good news for Fleener.  We know he can produce as a receiver, with good size, speed, and hands.  The fact that he's performing well as a blocker will help keep him on the field for a full slate of snaps.  Indy's initial depth chart has Fleener listed as the in-line TE and fellow rookie Dwayne Allen as the "move" TE.  Fleener remains the better bet for production, but we'd only consider him a fantasy backup.
