Saints' Coby Fleener: Monday night breakthrough

Fleener caught seven passes (on 11 targets) for a team-high 109 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.

Analysis:

Fleener appeared out of sorts during the first two weeks of this season but broke through with a stellar display on Monday night. New Orleans' offseason signing opened the scoring with a two-yard touchdown catch early on and never looked back, regularly finding space down the seam of Atlanta's defense. After leading all tight ends with 109 yards in Week 3, Fleener will now try to improve his consistency within the Saints' offense, where opportunities for him to make an impact should be abound.
