Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox gets an upgrade at quarterback in Week 9 with Joe Flacco under center, with eight of Cox's 13 total targets coming during Flacco's playing time earlier this season while Anthony Richardson dealt with an injury. In Weeks 5 and 6 combined, Cox caught all eight of his targets for 78 yards (he has just 100 on the season) and a touchdown. In Week 4 when Flacco came on in relief of Richardson, the veteran QB hit tight end Drew Ogletree for a 15-yard touchdown pass, so Cox and the TE group as a whole should be much more involved going forward. Cox leads the Colts TEs in targets on the season with 13, which is four more than Kylen Granson and six more than Ogletree. There are surely more proven TE options available on the waiver wire that have already been integrated into their offenses, but for fantasy managers looking for an under-the-radar dart throw with upside this week, Cox should be under consideration.

The Athletic's James Boyd writes that Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox is an easy target if the team wishes to create more salary cap space this offseason. He's entering the final year of a three-year, $17.6 million contract extension that he signed in 2022. Alie-Cox is due the last $5.9 million of that in 2024, but none of it is guaranteed. The 30-year-old is the team's best blocking tight end and has recorded at least three touchdowns in each of the last three seasons, but he's not getting any younger and is unlikely to develop into a true No. 1 pass-catching tight end at this point of his career. Both Will Mallory and third-year tight end Jelani Woods, who missed all of 2023 with hamstring issues, give the Colts more upside at the position amid their current youth movement. Alie-Cox hasn't been much more than a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2 option for fantasy managers in deep leagues.

Indianapolis Colts veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox is coming off back-to-back games with a touchdown. Alie-Cox has three touchdowns on the season, despite not having more than two receptions in a single game this year. He now gets ready to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, a defense that's allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to the position this season. The former VCU basketball standout has virtually no floor to work with, but fantasy managers in desperate need of filling their tight-end spot can throw in Alie-Cox with the hopes that he finds pay dirt for the third week in a row.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, and his questionable designation for the Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars has been lifted. Alie-Cox will now be active for Sunday's game against the division rivals, but he's still not on the fantasy radar while seeing his snap percentages dip in recent weeks with both Kylen Granson and Drew Ogletree healthy. The 30-year-old veteran has just three receptions on five targets for 67 yards and one touchdown through five weeks of the season. Don't expect him to be a major factor for the Colts through the air this weekend. His availability will also hurt what limited upside Granson has as a fantasy weapon.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox was able to log a full practice on Friday but is still questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old progressed from not practicing on Wednesday and a limited practice on Thursday, but the questionable tag remains as he is still in the league's concussion protocol. There is still the possibility that Alie-Cox can be cleared to play in Week 6, though his snap share has been dwindling week-by-week anyhow. His absence would solidify Kylen Granson's spot at the top of the tight end pecking order in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Alie-Cox suffered a concussion in his team's Week 5 game and will now have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be able to suit up for a Week 6 tilt against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Alie-Cox has caught three balls for 67 yards and a touchdown in 2023. If he doesn't play in Week 6, it would open up extra opportunities for tight ends Kylen Granson and Will Mallory.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (head) exited Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans and is being evaluated for a concussion. The 30-year-old caught a 17-yard pass but hit his head hard on the turf, causing him to leave the game.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (foot) returned to practice Tuesday. The 29-year-old had been sporting a boot earlier in training camp. Upon his return, he took reps with the second-team offense. Alie-Cox was a sleeper candidate in 2022 but failed to live up to expectations. When the season came to a close, the veteran tallied just 19 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns. With a crowded tight end room in Indianapolis, Alie-Cox could be a potential cut candidate. He is not worth drafting in fantasy football this season.
