Mo Alie-Cox

TE Mo Alie-Cox signed his restricted free agent tender with the Colts on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Alie-Cox returns to Indianapolis on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old had his best season with the Colts in 2020. He hauled in 31 receptions on 39 targets for 391 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games. Alie-Cox is expected to serve as the Colts' backup tight end to Jack Doyle and will provide newly acquired QB Carson Wentz another reliable pass-catching option.

According to sources, TE Mo Alie-Cox has become a restricted free agent after receiving a second-round tender by the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Alie-Cox has morphed into a strong blocking TE for the Colts, and it shows how much they value him by slapping on a second-round tender to acquire the versatile TE. He finished the 2020 season with 31 catches for 394 yards and two touchdowns, but his path to fantasy relevance is hampered by Jack Doyle and the Colts' commitment to the run. With the TE market slimming up, the Colts added more insurance to protect newly acquired QB Carson Wentz. However, Wentz could use a more reliable pass-catcher up the seams. This could be Alie-Cox, but we'll know in due time.

Fantasy Impact

Alie-Cox was limited in practice leading up to the game on Sunday with a knee issue but was able to play. The veteran tight end is in a time share with Jack Doyle and Trey Burton and does not see enough action to be worth owning in fantasy.

Mo Alie-Cox caught both his targets for 14 yards on Sunday as the Colts defeated the Texans by a 27-20 score in Week 15 action.

Fantasy Impact

Alie-Cox has been tending to a lingering knee injury that cost him multiple days of practice this week but was able to suit up on Sunday. The 27-year-old tight end now has 30 receptions on the season and is not worth owning in standard fantasy leagues.
