Fleener was considered a top tight end prospect for the 2012 NFL Draft. At the NFL combine, he benched 27 reps of 225 at 6-6 244, though he did not run because of an ankle injury.

The Indianapolis Colts selected Fleener with the 34th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft after drafting his college quarterback, Andrew Luck, with the 1st overall pick.

Fleener began the 2013 preseason as the backup to Dwayne Allen. He missed the final two weeks of preseason after suffering a knee injury. Allen would be placed on injured reserve after Week 1, making Fleener the starter for the rest of the season. He recorded his first career 100-yard receiving game in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans, making eight receptions for 107 yards. Fleener finished the 2013 season with 52 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns.
