Fantasy Upside
The Colts made a conscious effort to utilize more 3WR formations last season instead of 2TE sets, after spending a 1st round pick on Dorsett. With TE Coby Fleener gone, there’s no reason to believe that won’t continue again in 2016, giving Dorsett the snaps required to get regular targets. That could make Dorsett a handful for nickel corners, as he flashed big play ability in 2015, most notably a Week 3 35-yard touchdown in a comeback win at Tennessee. If anything were to happen to T.Y. Hilton or Donte Moncrief, Dorsett’s fantasy stock would also see a big rise.
Fantasy Downside
There are a lot of mouths to feed in the passing game in Indianapolis, and at best, Dorsett is 3rd in that pecking order. That likely makes it difficult to expect consistent production on a week-to-week basis from this young, but very talented, receiver.
Bottom Line
Dorsett is not inside our top-60 receivers, and despite the tantalizing measurables in Dorsett’s game, targets will be an issue. He’s currently being drafted in the 13th round in 12-team leagues, and even that late, there are better options than Dorsett (unless Hilton or Moncrief get hurt).
