Week 7 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Dontrelle Inman has emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver in the absence of Steve Sims. But that role typically doesn't offer much production. Inman had a nice 5-45 game last week, but that's been his most productive game (aside from a random two-touchdown game in Week 3). Inman has finished below 50 receiving yards each week and has only hit five receptions once. He's not involved enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
Week 5 vs. Los Angeles Rams
Dontrelle Inman has taken over as Washington's No. 2 receiver, but that hasn't meant much in terms of production. He did have two touchdowns in Week 3, but finished 4-29 in Week 4. Inman hasn't hit five receptions or 40 yards in any game this season, so he has very limited value. He won't be a good play this week in a tough matchup against the Rams. Terry McLaurin is the only Washington receiver worth playing.
Week 4 vs. Baltimore Ravens
Dontrelle Inman finished with two goal-line touchdowns last week, but that's about all he did. He had three total receptions for 38 yards, which is just slightly higher production than we've seen from him so far in 2020. He's not really worth fantasy consideration moving forward.
Week 4 at Miami Dolphins
Dontrelle Inman finished Week 3 with one reception for 23 yards, 7% of the team targets, and 19% of the team air yards. Inman is not getting the volume needed to be a reliable fantasy asset.
Miami’s secondary is 13th worst against wide receivers, per our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4 rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Benjamin ranked as the Half PPR WR88 and should not be in your starting lineup.
Week 2 at Detroit Lions
Dontrelle Inman finished Week 1 with one reception for five yards, 3% of the team targets, and 2% of the team air yards. However, his playing time could increase if Mike Williams is not able to play on Sunday. Williams missed several practices this week due to a knee injury and is questionable against the Lions. 4for4 rankings expert John Paulsen has Inman ranked as the Half PPR WR65. Inman is a risky dart throw in deep leagues if Williams does not suit up.
Week 19 at Kanas City Chiefs
Despite being five-point underdogs in Kansas City, Vegas expects a shootout between the Chiefs and the Colts. That has pushed the Colts implied team total in the divisional round up higher than 25 points. In the passing game, KC ranks just 25th in aFPA to WRs. T.Y. Hilton hasn't practiced in weeks but keeps playing. He's in a position for a big week again if he can make it through the game. If he struggles to stay on the field, Dontrelle Inman has emerged as the Colts WR2 and makes for a solid sleeper option in the divisional round.
Week 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Indianapolis has an above average implied team total this week against a tough Dallas defense. That implied total is 25 points. However, the Cowboys rank top five in aFPA to RBs, foreshadowing a pass-heavy attack for the Colts. The Cowboys may rank top 10 in aFPA to WRs, but T.Y. Hilton is as dependable as they get in terms of targets lately, with three straight 10+ target games. Outside of Hilton though, no other Colts receiver can be relied upon for fantasy production.
Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Remember when facing the Jaguars defense was a near death sentence for a player's fantasy prospects? That's not the case anymore. The Jags are tough against RBs (2nd in aFPA), but the Colts have an implied team total of 25.5 on the road. This should mean the Jags are a pass funnel offense this week, despite ranking 10th in aFPA to WRs, benefiting Colts pass catchers. Jacksonville's offense also operates at a faster pace when Leonard Fournette is out, which should mean additional offensive plays for the Colts too. However, Dontrelle Inman has less than seven targets and less than 50 yards in each of his last three games. He's not a viable fantasy starter in re-draft leagues.
Week 11 vs. Tennesee Titans
The Colts have a high implied team total of 25 at home against Tennessee, and maybe the best offensive line in the NFL right now, helping the Colts air attack by protecting Andrew Luck better than he's ever been protected. This week against a pass funnel Titans defense that ranks second in aFPA to RBs but only 28th against WRs, T.Y. Hilton should thrive. He's back in the WR2 mix for us, against a Titans defense he torched with Andrew Luck two years ago for a couple 20-plus-point PPR games. No other Colts receivers are on the fantasy radar though, as the tight ends and running backs operate as the secondary options to Hilton in the pass game in this offense.
Week 16 vs. Cleveland Browns
Dontrelle Inman had an interesting stretch after he was brought on, but then just completely dropped in production. He's had just 3 total catches in his last three games and isn't worth looking at in fantasy.
