Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Not targeted in loss
Mo Alie-Cox did not draw a target during Sunday's 21-13 loss at Minnesota.Between Alie-Cox, Drew Ogletree and Kylen Granson, only one target was earned in Week 9. None of the three tight ends is likely to garner much fantasy value if they can't separate themselves in terms of playing time, and Alie-Cox specifically must clear the additional hurdle of being the one most frequently assigned blocking duties.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Four receptions in win
Mo Alie-Cox had four receptions for 41 yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.Alie-Cox wasn't on the field for Indy's first play on offense but played the most snaps among Indianapolis Colts tight ends. He logged 34 of the offense's 70 snaps (Drew Ogletree played 21 and Kylen Granson played 17) and went out on the most routes (16 compared to 8 for Ogletree and 13 for Granson). Alie-Cox has seen an uptick in targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback with four in both of the past two games. While that may not be sustainable with how the Colts divide the workload evenly between three or four tight ends, Alie-Cox may be worth a look in deep formats when Flacco starts.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Catches TD in loss
Mo Alie-Cox had two receptions for 37 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown, in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.Alie-Cox didn't play more than usual (33% of the offense's snaps) but had a season-high four targets with Joe Flacco taking over at quarterback. He had three targets total through the first four games. While Alie-Cox could get more targets if Flacco remains the starter, he's not likely to see much more than the occasional red-zone target. Even then, the Indianapolis Colts still divide playing time and targets evenly between three tight ends.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Minimal role on offense
Mo Alie-Cox did not have a reception and was targeted just once in Sunday's loss to Houston.Alie-Cox got the start at tight end, but he's almost exclusively a blocking tight end these days as he went out on just seven routes among his 18 snaps on offense. Kylen Granson played more snaps (25) but also had just one target. With the Indianapolis Colts using a more vertical passing attack than last season, none of the Colts' tight ends may get significant targets.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Listed as starter on initial depth chart
Mo Alie-Cox is listed as one of two starting tight ends on Indianapolis' first unofficial depth chart of the preseason, Amanda Foster of the Indianapolis Colts' official site reports.Kylen Granson is listed as a starter at tight end along with Alie-Cox, who would function primarily as a blocker if the two were to share the field together. Though the 6-foot-5, 267-pound Alie-Cox still presents a big target in the red zone, his involvement in the passing game has faded over the past two seasons. He had just 22 targets in 17 games in 2023, finishing with 13 receptions for 161 yards and three touchdowns.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Could be done in Indy
Mo Alie-Cox is scheduled for $5.9 million in non-guaranteed compensation for 2024, making him a candidate to be released this offseason, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.He's entering the final year of his contract and will turn 31 in September. Alie-Cox has long been the Indianapolis Colts' best blocking tight end and has 14 touchdowns among his 102 career receptions, so it won't be surprising if he ends up sticking around, possibly via a contract extension or renegotiated contract. Kylen Granson, Will Mallory, Jelani Woods and Andrew Ogletree are all more likely to operate as the team's top receiving threat at tight end in 2024, though it's been a long time since the Colts had a true No. 1 option rather than taking a committee approach to the position.

Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Finds end zone thrice in 2023
Mo Alie-Cox secured 13 of 22 targets for 161 yards and three touchdowns across 17 regular-season games with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023.Alie-Cox handled his usual depth role with Indianapolis in 2023, as has been usual throughout his six-year NFL career. His yardage total for this past season was the lowest since 2019, but Alie-Cox's occasional red-zone deployment remained steady. The Colts do have a potential 'out' from Alie-Cox's contract this offseason with zero dead cap for the team, so it seems all but guaranteed that the big-bodied tight end will need to either restructure his deal or be cut.
