Donte Moncrief

Donte Moncrief - Week 19 vs. Denver

Donte Moncrief caught all three of his targets last week for 54 yards and a touchdown. He's the second-best option in the Colts' offense, but we'd like to see more than just three targets toward his direction. Moncrief is a talented wideout, but there's only so much success you can have with three targets.

He'll face a tough Broncos secondary this week. A tough matchup with not many targets makes Moncrief a middle-of-the-road option.

Donte Moncrief - Week 17 vs. Tennessee Titans

After Donte Moncrief's 134-yard effort against the Redskins he's been a big letdown. He's caught five passes for 38 yards combined in the three games since that effort. Last week he only managed two receptions for five yards even with T.Y. Hilton sidelined.

Hilton has a chance to be sidelined again in Week 17, which should be a boost for Moncrief. The Colts may not be in full-attack mode this week, however. They've already clinched the AFC South and don't have much to gain with a win. They're also playing a two-win Titans team.

Moncrief should be viewed as a hard-to-trust WR3.

Donte Moncrief - Week 15 vs. Houston Texans

Donte Moncrief is starting to get more playing time. He has three consecutive games with four targets. In two of those games he finished with 38 yards and 33 yards with no touchdowns. In the other game he finished with 134 yards and two touchdowns. As you can see, he's a tough player to predict.

Moncrief gets a dream matchup this week against Houston, but his usage should be a concern. Even though he has more production than Reggie Wayne Moncrief is playing fewer snaps. He's also not being targeted as much as Wayne.

T.Y. Hilton should get the bulk of the receiving yards from Andrew Luck with Moncrief and Wayne contributing behind him. Moncrief has a high ceiling, but should be viewed as a WR3 or WR4.
