The Facts: The Saints struck quickly in free agency to make a deal with Fleener in hopes of continuing a trend of strong performances by TEs on the receiving end of passes from quarterback Drew Brees. Getting the most out of Fleener on the field won't come with just flipping a switch, however, because Fleener has to be where Brees will be looking for him and the new Saint says that's a work in progress. "There's absolutely some catching up to do on my part," Fleener said.

Diehards Line: Brees liked what he saw from Fleener on tape, where the quarterback picked up “an uncanny ability to separate” from defenders so that he’s “always open.” But Fleener is right. It's going to take effort. Brees said that he’s going through the process with Fleener, but the offense flows through Brees in New Orleans so Fleener will be the one making bigger adjustments to his game as they start working together. As PFT suggests, there’s a lot of time before the season to make those adjustments and become the kind of threat over the middle that the Saints have enjoyed at tight end in past seasons. Meanwhile, fantasy owners continue to draft Fleener as if the TE's efforts will pay off. And if you want him on your roster, you'll have to pay up to land him.
