Week 11 vs. Tennessee
Dorsett has not been on the fantasy radar this season, and that doesn't change Week 11. He is outside our top-70 WRs for Week 11.
The former first round pick had five receptions last week but only for 33 yards. His usage is not consistent enough this season to be considered for your fantasy lineup in Week 9.
Week 8 at Kansas City
Dorsett did next to nothing in the week's where Donte Moncrief was out for the Colts. With Moncrief back, Dorsett is even moreso out of fantasy lineup consideration, failing to reach 30 yards in his past two games.
Week 7 at Tennessee
Phillip Dorsett (foot and hamstring) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He may not play against the Titans, but even if he does, his play without Donte Moncrief active has been a huge disappointment. He does not have more than two receptions in a game in his past three games, which makes it clear he should not be in your lineup.
Week 6 at Houston
Phillip Dorsett is not getting enough targets to be a starting option. He hasn't even cracked five targets since Donte Moncrief went down with an injury. Until the Colts show more of a willingness to get him involved, he's not an option to start in fantasy.
Week 5 vs. Chicago
Dorsett is the ultimate boom-or-bust flex play in Week 5, evidenced by his one reception for a 64-yard touchdown last week. The targets just aren't there the past two weeks though to spark any confidence in consistency moving forward - seven total the past two weeks. Andrew Luck simply doesn't have enough time to find Dorsett frequently.
Week 4 vs. Jacksonville
Dorsett is questionable to play (ankle) in London against the Jaguars. So, it's an early wake up call if you have him in flex consideration to make sure he plays. Hilton only saw four targets last week though in his first game without Donte Moncrief, as Luck spread the ball around to his secondary options when not peppering T.Y. Hilton with targets. Dorsett is a high-risk, high-reward option in Week 4 if active.
Dorsett takes over WR2 snaps for the Colts with Donte Moncrief out 4-6 weeks. His elite speed makes him a threat to take it the distance on any deep ball. However, he could get matched up on Chargers emerging star cornerback Jason Verrett on many of his snaps this week. Nevertheless, Dorsett's target share should increase. We view Dorsett as a WR3 with upside in Week 3.
Week 2 at Denver
Dorsett makes for an interesting sleeper start this week, as the Colts will likely want to stay away from Denver corners Aqib Talib and Chris Harris. That's exactly what the Colts did in Rob Chudzinski's first game as offensive coordinator last season, when slot receiver Griff Whalen tied for the team-high with six targets. He turned those into five receptions for 73 yards. Dorsett is far more skilled than Whalen and already led the Colts with 94 yards on four receptions last week. He makes for an interesting sneaky start this week. Dorsett playing in 73 percent of snaps also shows the Colts base offense will be 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR).
Week 1 vs. Detroit
Dorsett is a sleeper entering 2016, but it's hard to trust him in your lineups even in a plus match-up against the Lions, as we just don't know how many targets will come his way. He only averaged 3.5 targets per game last season. That's not enough to be trusted to start 2016 in your lineups.
