DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football: Week 16 Punt Plays

Dwayne Allen, TE, Indianpolis Colts

In his first game back from injury, Dwayne Allen ($3,800) recorded just 2 catches for 16 yards on 4 targets. However, one of those catches was a three-yard touchdown, which once again illustrates his weekly fantasy upside. While he'll be splitting targets with fellow tight end Coby Fleener, Allen has been nothing short of consistent all season long. When healthy, he's posted six double-digit fantasy performances on DraftKings in 11 games. He's also scored eight touchdowns in that timeframe.

And that brings us to Week 16's tasty matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys rank second to last in points given up to tight ends. Not to mention, many daily players may still be on the Fleener train, and rightfully so after he exploded during Allen's injury absence. That's why Allen could be a more attractive option, and our projections predict him to score more points than Fleener this week. On top of that, both Colts wide receivers T.Y. HIlton and Reggie Wayne missed practice on Friday, which means there is a possibility that quarterback Andrew Luck looks more for his tight ends in this one, especially given the opponent.
