Jack Doyle

Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Jack Doyle led the team with four receptions and 61 yards last week against a tough Broncos defense. It was the highest yardage total of his season and it was good to see him continue to get the bulk of the snaps. He was on the field for 72% of the team’s offensive snaps compared to 34% for Eric Ebron. Doyle has some upside against the Steelers this week, who rank 27th in aFPA to opposing tight ends, but his lack of production thus far over the course of the season makes it hard to trust him as anything more than a desperation play.

Week 7 vs. Houston Texans

Jack Doyle was on the field for 73% of the offensive snaps against the Chiefs before the bye last week, but he was still targeted only three times in the game and wound up with 19 yards. Doyle has some upside with how often he’s on the field, but the Colts seem to want to run the ball and Doyle has only been targeted more than four times once this season, and has failed to eclipse 50 yards in a game. His lack of production makes it hard to trust him and there should be better streaming options available to fantasy owners looking for help at the position. Leave him on waivers this week.

Week 4 vs. Oakland Raiders

Jack Doyle caught all four balls thrown his way last week for 46 yards against the Falcons. He’s actually out-snapped fellow tight end Eric Ebron so far this year – 69% for Doyle compared to 46% for Ebron – but trailed him by two in targets. Doyle has upside this week against a Raiders defense that has given up the fifth-most aFPA to the tight end position through three games, and he could get some additional looks with T.Y. Hilton likely missing the game. However, his lack of production thus far makes him a risky bet and he should be considered a low-end streaming option in deep leagues.
