25-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Indianapolis Colts
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mallory appeared in 12 games as a rookie last season, and the 2023 fifth-round draft pick out of Miami caught 18 of 26 targets for 207 yards. No Colts tight end had more than 368 yards last season, but four had at least 147, and that was without Jelani Woods, who missed the entire season due to a hamstring injury. All of those tight ends remain on the roster heading into 2024, so Mallory will have to jostle for playing time in a deep position group without a clear top dog. If healthy, the 6-foot-7 Woods figures to be the top red-zone option over the 6-foot-4 Mallory, who has yet to score a touchdown in the NFL and watched Kylen Granson, Mo Alie-Cox and Andrew Ogletree combine for six scores in 2023.

Gets first reception of season
TEIndianapolis Colts
October 7, 2024
Mallory had one reception for seven yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville. It was his first reception this season.
ANALYSIS
After being inactive the first three games, Mallory's played the last two games. He played on 16 of the offense's 70 snaps and went out on 13 routes. The Colts continue to divide targets and snaps between up to four tight ends (Kylen Granson played 18 snaps, Mo Alie-Cox played 29, Drew Ogletree played 26). As long as the workload is that spread out, none will have viable fantasy value for most formats.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Colts already had one of the more crowded tight end rooms in the NFL, but they still took Mallory in the fifth round of the 2023 draft. The Miami (Fla.) product is a different type of tight end than most of the other options in Indianapolis; he's on the smaller side (6-4, 239) in terms of frame but he was a solid producer in college with 14 career touchdowns and 115 receptions. Mallory also turned in a solid combine (4.54 40, 36-inch vertical). It's unclear how exactly the Colts will use him because he won't help much as a blocker, but perhaps Mallory could earn reps as a big slot option.
