2023 Fantasy Outlook
Alie-Cox entered 2022 as a potential sleeper tight end and red-zone target, but his production declined in almost every area. He had just 19 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns. He was also phased out of the offense in the second half of 2022 with just six receptions and 10 targets over his last eight games. The 6-5, 267-pound Alie-Cox has proven to be a serviceable blocker, and his big frame and athleticism made him a threat in the red zone. He could emerge in that regard again, but the Colts split targets last season between three tight ends (Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson and Jelani Woods) and took another one in the 2023 draft (fifth-rounder Will Mallory).

RANKS

February 21, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
He's entering the final year of his contract and will turn 31 in September. Alie-Cox has long been the 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More targets against Atlanta?
TEIndianapolis Colts
December 23, 2023
Alie-Cox could see a more prominent role in the Colts' offense Sunday against the Falcons, with Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reporting Saturday that top wideout Michael Pittman experienced additional concussion symptoms and has been ruled out ahead of Week 16.
ANALYSIS
Alie-Cox has been part of a tight end committee this season with Drew Ogletree and Kylen Granson, and Alie-Cox is third among the group with 125 receiving yards on 11 catches. However, he does have three touchdowns on the season -- including one in each of his last two games -- and is second on the Colts in receiving touchdowns behind Pittman. Alie-Cox has seen his usage on offense dip this season compared to prior years, but he could be in line for more work Sunday with Pittman out for the contest.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Alie-Cox had 24 receptions for 316 yards and four touchdowns on 45 targets last season, despite playing fewer than 70 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in all but two games. The 6-5, 267-pound Alie-Cox has proven not only to be a serviceable blocker since joining the Colts as an undrafted rookie in 2017, but he's also used his big frame and athleticism to become a reliable threat in the red zone. With Jack Doyle's retirement, Alie-Cox is poised to be the team's top tight end and his target share and red zone usage could increase significantly.
Alie-Cox, who caught 31 passes for 394 yards and two TDs in 15 games last season, is back with the Colts on a one-year deal and should remain in a timeshare with returnee Jack Doyle, while 2021 fourth-rounder Kylen Granson gets up to speed with the offense. Down the road, Granson could command his share of targets, but Alie-Cox's role in the offense could yield the occasional fantasy-worthy stat line to start the 2021 campaign.
Alie-Cox, who finished the 2019 season with eight catches for 93 yards in 16 games, is back to reprise his reserve tight end duties. With Eric Ebron no longer in the mix, Alie-Cox is now slated to work behind Jack Doyle and Trey Burton in 2020.
The Colts feature their tight ends in the red zone more than any other team in the NFL, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Alie-Cox snatched two touchdowns on just 13 targets through the course of the nine games he saw action in. With Jack Doyle and 2018 team-leader in touchdowns, Eric Ebron, both healthy and expected to be major factors in the offense, Alie-Cox figures to work mostly in a depth role and on special teams this coming season.
