Phillip Dorsett seemed like the ultimate luxury pick for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2015 draft, when the team selected him the first round despite having T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief in their wide receiver corps, and a wet paper bag on their offensive line stable.

But with the exit of the now-ineffective Andre Johnson and former Colts tight end Coby Fleener, Dorsett figures to factor into the Colts' equation much more in his sophomore campaign. And he got started off with a bang in his first game of 2016, posting an impressive 4-catch, 94-yard outing on 6 targets.

The Colts figure to do plenty of throwing the ball this season with a 34-year-old Frank Gore spearheading the running game and career drifter Robert Turbin serving as the primary backup.

This means that Dorsett's target load of around five to six targets per game might be sustainable. Due to the deep threat nature of his game, predicting when Dorsett might go off could pose a challenge to fantasy football owners, but he is particularly worthy of a roster spot as the third receiving option on a very pass-happy and effective offense.
