Go back to week 1.
Pats running 20 personnel at least until Watson gets back which is Edleman, Dorsett and Gordon, 2 RBs and 0 TEs.

IMO, Dorsett and Gordon will be very hit or miss. Dorsett will probably see 4 or 5 targets. Week 1 he cashed those looks into the tune of almost 100 yards and 2 TD. He could easily see 5 targets for 3 catches and 25 yards and no TD.

I'm thinking of starting both Dorsett and Gordon. Hopefully, that'll eliminate some of the fluctuation.

You’re probably right but they’ll both “hit” for some nice weeks when they do. A few boom/bust types in your lineup balances out over time.

What about this Meyers kid? At least long term. Dorsett will not win many leagues for you and I don't see how you can play him week to week. I'd much rather take a flyer on Meyers and drop him knowing that I will drop Dorsett much sooner IMO. Dynasty speaking.

Before people go nuts over Dorsett, he’s now played in 64 career games. He just set his career high in receiving yards in Week 1 with 95. That was his first game with 2 TD. He’s had more than 5 receptions in a game once. He’s scored 10 TD’s, so it’s not like he’s a red zone threat or someone that regularly gets in the end zone.
Sure, I guess if he somehow ends up with a huge snap count increase in a primary role he may have a lot more fantasy value, but he’s played two-thirds of the snaps this year and only seen 7 targets.

Eight, but who's counting?
I think eight.
PFF says seven for Gordon, too, so there's that.
But it's eight.

Dang it. PFF got me again. They need to update that stuff.
They've got eight per PFF and I knew PFF would be wrong for some reason. I double checked. I was kidding though, too, bruh. It doesn't matter. Anarchy's point still stands. Dorsett, while much-improved, has not seen a commensurate rise in usage, really.

Well, is it 7 or 8 though? It might not seem like a big difference. But if it's 7 he's on pace for 56 targets; if it's 8 he's on pace 64. At 19 ypt and .28TD% that's a difference of 150 yards and 2TDs on the season.

Good day if you had the guts to start him.

Dorsett has been a tease fantasy wise. He seems to have a TD enough times to make it look like he would be an enticing fantasy option and someone NE would look to expand his role. But he's now played 42 games for NE and only been targeted more than 5 times 5 times (12%). With Sanu coming to town and Gordon and Harry coming back soon, I would not expect Dorsett to start seeing more targets. He's really TD dependent. Over his last 10 games with NE . . . 40 targets, 28 receptions, 347 yards, 7 TD.

30 touches for Pierce tonight? def in line for a career high in targets/receptions
