Fantasy Impact:
It's not time to panic, though this news has been somewhat swept under the rug. Fleener is off the fantasy radar for many after he finished with just 50 receptions for 631 yards and three touchdowns in his first season with the Saints. What most don't realize is that he still finished as a top 12 fantasy tight end, despite his struggles in year one with Drew Brees. If Fleener stays healthy, we should see him improve on his 2016 campaign, especially with the subtraction of Brandin Cooks from the offense, freeing up 117 targets from last year. Fleener is a high-upside TE2 for 2017. We'll keep a close eye on his practice participation over the next few weeks.
