Phillip Dorsett 2020 Outlook: A Better Offensive Situation Won’t Lead To Fantasy Relevance
5 years agoPhillip Dorsett has been considered a bust since the Colts drafted him in the first round in 2015. After two disappointing seasons in Indianapolis Dorsett spent three years as a lesser-noticed role player with the Patriots. He never totaled over 35 catches and 400 yards with New England. But he did catch five TD passes in 2019. Dorsett averaged over 16 yards per catch in 2016 and 2017, so there seems to be lingering potential to be a downfield playmaker. He now has the opportunity to show he can still be a big-play threat after signing a one-year deal with the Seahawks. Russell Wilson is considered a premier deep thrower and could coax some highlight clips out of Dorsett. But with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf both firmly established as starters, the best Dorsett can do is beat out David Moore for the No. 3 WR job. He may be occasionally productive for the Seahawks but will not contribute enough to be anything more than a very deep Best Ball play or as a DFS pick a few times a year. Dorsett is way off redraft boards with an ADP of 325 and he is ranked 107 at WR by the RotoBaller staff. He should win the No. 3 WR job in Seattle, but that won’t translate to a significant fantasy boost.
