  • Joins Seattle wideout corps

    Dorsett will sign a one-year deal with the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The speedy Dorsett, who caught 29 passes for 397 yards and five TDs in 14 games with the Patriots last season, now has a chance to claim Seattle's No. 3 wideout role behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. It's a new team context that could garner the 2015 first-rounder added volume after he only saw 54 targets in 2019, although the Seahawks don't exactly feature a high-volume passing attack -- Russell Wilson attempted nearly 100 fewer passes than Tom Brady in 2019.

  • Hauls in 29 passes in 2019

    Dorsett finished the 2019 regular season with 29 catches (on 54 targets) for 397 yards and five TDs in 14 games. He also logged three carries for 21 yards.

    Analysis: The 2015 first-rounder started the season with a two-TD effort in Week 1, but his subsequent production was hit-or-miss and he finished things out by working as the team's No. 4 wide receiver (behind Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and N'Keal Harry) in the Patriots' wild-card loss to the Titans. The 27-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and it remains to be seen if he re-ups with New England as a complementary option or heads elsewhere in search of more playing…read more

  • Big catch in Week 17 loss

    Dorsett brought in one of four targets for 50 yards in the Patriots' 27-24 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: Dorsett's big play aside, he was a non-factor despite compiling his highest yardage total since Week 3. The speedster hadn't logged a target his previous two games and failed to come up with his pair of looks three contests ago, so Sunday's sole reception was actually a step up. However, Dorsett and the rest of the pass-catching corps will presumably have to be a lot more productive in next weekend's wild-card game against the Titans for the Patriots to have a chance to advance to the…read more

  • Logs five snaps on offense Saturday

    Dorsett logged five of a possible 73 snaps on offense in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Dorsett wasn't targeted in the game and was out-snapped by both N'Keal Harry (37) and Jakobi Meyers (14). With Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu also in the mix, Dorsett's fantasy upside is limited so long as the team's other wide receivers remain healthy.

  • Logs just nine offensive snaps

    Dorsett was not targeted during Sunday's 34-13 win over Cincinnati.

    Analysis: It's the first time this season Dorsett has been held without a catch in back-to-back games, and he hasn't topped 40 yards in a game since Week 8. There's been a lot of talk in New England about Tom Brady's dissatisfaction with some of his receivers and Dorsett's lack of action seems to indicate that he's in the dog house. Next up is Saturday's matchup with a Buffalo defense that held Dorsett to 19 total yards in Week 4.

  • Held without a catch

    Dorsett was on the field for 33 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Dorsett, who was out-snapped Sunday by Julian Edelman (66), Mohamed Sanu (39) and Jakobi Meyers (38), was targeted twice but didn't record a catch in the contest. He's something of a bounce-back candidate Week 15 against the Bengals, but volume could continue to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, given that QB Tom Brady's only consistent targets to date have been Julian Edelman and James White.

  • Two catches in Week 13

    Dorsett was on the field for 62 of a possible 87 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: In his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, Dorsett hauled in two of his six targets for 15 yards. He'll look to bounce back in Week 14 against the Chiefs, but steady volume figures to be an issue for Dorsett down the stretch, with Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, Jakobi Meyers and first-round pick N'Keal Harry also in the team's wide receiver mix.

  • Active for Sunday night game

    Dorsett (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: As is Mohamed Sanu (ankle), which sets the stage for QB Tom Brady to have all his key wide receiver options available in Week 13. In that context, Dorsett profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option with uncertain volume, but he has at least logged five TDs in nine games to date.

  • Traveling with team

    Dorsett (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, traveled with the team to Houston, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: More information regarding their respective status should be available closer to Sunday's 8:20 p.m ET kickoff, but it's entirely possible the entire Patriots' receiving corps could be healthy for Sunday's prime-time affair, as both Dorsett and Mohamed Sanu (ankle) traveled with the team to Houston on Saturday. Expect Dorsett to split time with N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers, with Sanu and Julian Edelman (shoulder) acting as the top two wideouts in the case both are healthy enough to play.

  • Listed as questionable

    Dorsett (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

    Analysis: The same applies to Julian Edelman (shoulder) and Mohamed Sanu (ankle), with Edelman looking the most likely of the three wideouts to play. Meanwhile, Dorsett appears to be on track to suit up after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, and Sanu seems to be trending in the right direction as well. Assuming he does return to action this weekend, Dorsett seems likely to see enough looks to merit deep-league PPR consideration. He's also a candidate to score, having…read more

  • Another limited practice

    Dorsett (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: We'll revisit the wideout's status Friday, but as long as he avoids any setbacks, Dorsett is trending toward active status Sunday night against the Texans.

  • Clears protocol, limited at practice

    Dorsett indicated Wednesday that he's passed the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The wideout practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, per Reiss, so if Dorsett avoids any setbacks in the coming days, he should be good to go Sunday against the Texans.

  • Practicing Wednesday

    Dorsett (concussion) was on the practice field Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Last week, Dorsett made inroads in his recovery from a concussion, practicing in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. Still, he didn't complete all phases of the protocol for head injuries prior to Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Dorsett hopes to be cleared in time for the Pats' Week 13 visit to Houston, and logging a full session Wednesday would set him on such a path.

  • May be back Sunday

    Dorsett (concussion) may return for Sunday's game at Houston, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Fowler's source, Dorsett is confident he'll make his way through the concussion protocol and get cleared by an independent neurologist. His presence Week 13 would be a welcome sight, as the receiving corps also was without Mohamed Sanu (ankle) this past Sunday at Philadelphia. At the moment, Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Myers are the Patriots' only healthy wide receivers.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Dorsett (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: As is Mohamed Sanu (ankle), which means that New England's Week 12 wide receiver corps will be headed by Julian Edelman (shoulder), along with N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers.

  • Not expected to play

    Dorsett (concussion) is not expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Confirmation of Dorsett's anticipated absence will arrive upon the release of the Patriots' inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. With Mohamed Sanu (ankle) also a candidate to miss the game, N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers could see expanded roles Week 12.

  • Still not fully cleared

    Dorsett (concussion) has not been cleared for to resume full football activities as of Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's a troubling distinction with just one day left before Sunday's pivotal contest against the Cowboys, made worse by the fact No. 2 wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is not expected to play. The Patriots did list Dorsett as questionable following Friday's injury report, but Reiss seemed to indicate the team plans to be without its top speed threat. With Julian Edelman also hampered by a shoulder injury, the Patriots have just two healthy wide receivers -- N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers -- on…read more

  • Listed as questionable

    Dorsett (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday.

    Analysis: Also limited Friday and listed as questionable by the Patriots were fellow receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Julian Edelman (shoulder). We'd be surprised if Edelman was out against Dallas, but Sanu missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and it's unclear where Dorsett resides in the NFL's concussion protocol at this stage. We'll look for added clarity with regard to the trio's Week 12 status as Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers are next in line…read more

    Dorsett (concussion) logged a limited practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Dorsett was listed as a non-participant Wednesday, with his upgrade in participation Thursday signifying a positive step as he progresses through the NFL's concussion protocol. The Patriots will provide another update on Dorsett's status following Friday's practice, but the team is reportedly optimistic that the wideout will clear the five-step protocol by the time Sunday's game against the Cowboys arrives, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic.

    Analysis: The same applies to Mohamed Sanu (ankle), with Reiss noting that Sanu "did not go through the position-specific warmup, while Dorsett did." We'll circle back later Thursday to see how the Patriots list the duo's participation level. Per Zack Cox of NESN.com, though Dorsett was in attendance for Wednesday's session, he was ultimately classified as a non-participant.

    Though Dorsett (concussion) was present for Wednesday's practice, the Patriots listed him as a non-participant on their injury report, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

  • Won't return due to concussion

    Dorsett is ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a concussion, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Dorsett on the shelf for the rest of the game, Jakobi Meyers and N'Keal Harry both figure to see upticks in their respective usages. Dorsett will enter the league's concussion protocol, which he will need to clear before returning to game action. The receiver caught three of five targets for 33 yards and a touchdown before exiting.

  • Evaluated for head injury

    Dorsett left Sunday's game at Philadelphia to be evaluated for a head injury.

    Analysis: In the process of hauling in a 15-yard touchdown from fellow wide receiver Julian Edelman, Dorsett took a hard hit from an Eagles defender and went to the locker room with the sideline concussion spotter shortly thereafter, per Doug Kyed of NESN.com. If diagnosed with a concussion, Dorsett will be subject to the NFL's five-step protocol to be cleared for game action.

  • Catches two passes Sunday

    Dorsett was on the field for 66 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens, hauling in two of his four targets for 13 yards in the process.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu both logged 67 snaps, with the game flow/tempo leading to an emphasis on three-receiver sets. Though Dorsett saw ample playing time Sunday, he was the team's clear-cut No. 3 wide receiver option, with Sanu seeing 14 targets and Edelman logging 11. Once the Patriots return from their Week 10 bye, it's plausible that rookie N'Keal Harry could start cutting into Dorsett's snap/target share, a scenario that would make Dorsett a hit-or-miss fantasy option…read more

  • Catches three passes Sunday

    Dorsett was on the field for 64 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Browns, en route to catching three of his six targets for 43 yards.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Julian Edelman logged 66 snaps, while newcomer Mohamed Sanu was on the field for 37 snaps. Once Sanu becomes more acclimated with the team's offense, his workload figures to expand, probably at Dorsett's expense. There's still some deep-league fantasy value to be found from whoever serves as the Patriots' No. 3 wide receiver, but as long as Edelman and Sanu remain healthy, Dorsett's target share figures to be inconsistent.

    Dorsett (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett was limited Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday confirms that he'll be fine for Sunday's game against the Browns. The wideout was on the field for 88 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets, en route to hauling in three of his four targets for 46 yards and a TD. Since then, Josh Gordon (knee) landed on IR, while Mohamed Sanu joined the team via a trade with the Falcons. In that context, Dorsett is in line to continue to see his share…read more

    Dorsett caught three of four targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 33-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Dorsett overcame a hamstring concern to suit up for the first time since Week 4, and although four Patriots saw more targets than him, his 26-yard touchdown to close the first quarter still made an impact. Dorsett has scored four times in five appearances, boosting his stock despite Tom Brady's penchant for spreading looks among his pass-catchers. Heading into Week 8's game versus the Browns, Dorsett's outlook could be impacted by the status of fellow wideout Josh Gordon (knee/ankle) -- who was…read more

    Dorsett (hamstring) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Dorsett's return to action is timely, with starting wideout Josh Gordon (knee/ankle) inactive. In that context, Dorsett should see plenty of snaps and play a key role in the New England passing offense Monday, so long as he avoids any in-game setbacks.

    Analysis: The wideout -- who is officially listed as questionable by the Patriots -- sat out Week 6's win over the Giants back on Oct. 10, but he's been trending in the right direction as Monday night's contest approaches. Assuming he's able to suit up, and that seems more likely that not, a key role in the New England passing offense awaits, with Josh Gordon (knee/ankle) ruled out this week.

    Analysis: Dorsett sat out Week 6 against the Giants due to a hamstring issue, but he now appears to have a good shot at retaking the field for Monday Night Football. With Josh Gordon (knee) ruled out, Dorsett could be in line for an expanded offensive role versus the Jets, in the event that he's able to suit up.

    Analysis: While Dorsett seems to be trending in the right direction in advance of Monday night's game against the Jets, Josh Gordon (knee/ankle) is looking iffy for the contest following consecutive missed practices. If Gordon ends up being ruled out Saturday, Dorsett could see an expanded workload in Week 7, provided he's cleared to return to action.

    Dorsett (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jim McBride of The Boston Globe previously noted that Dorsett was moving well during Thursday's practice, which bodes well for the wideout's chances of playing Monday night against the Jets. If he suits up for the contest and Josh Gordon (knee/ankle) -- who didn't practice Thursday -- ends up sidelined, Dorsett could potentially be busy in Week 7.

    Dorsett (hamstring) was "moving well" at practice Thursday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett sat out last Thursday's contest against the Giants, but he's trending toward a return to action Monday night against the Jets. If he ends up playing, Dorsett could return to a key role in the Patriots' offense if Josh Gordon (knee) -- who didn't practice Thursday -- ends up limited or out in Week 7.

With a week of recovery under his belt, he's trending in the right direction, but his activity level in practice won't be revealed until Thursday with the Pats next taking the field Monday versus the Jets in New York.

    Dorsett (hamstring) could only miss Thursday's game against the Giants with there being early optimism regarding his recovery period, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dorsett was a long shot to play Thursday with the Patriots on a short week, but the consequent result is a full 11 days in between games, with New England's next contest coming against the Jets on Monday Night Football. This period should give Dorsett a chance to play Week 7 depending on how his recovery progresses. The Patriots' wide receiver corps are currently banged up with Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) both nursing injuries, so Dorsett's return would be a welcome sight. In…read more

  • Ruled out for Thursday's game

    Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: On a short week, Dorsett never seemed very likely to suit up after tweaking his hamstring in Sunday's win over Washington. The Patriots' No. 3 wideout will now look to recover in time for the team's Oct. 21 tilt against the Jets. With Dorsett unavailable, Jakobi Meyers should see added snaps in Week 6 behind starting receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee). Both of those wideouts are officially listed as questionable but seem likely to play.

    Dorsett (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Dorsett was present for portions of the practice, according to Zack Cox of NESN, but his work wasn't enough to to considered a limited participant like Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee). Dorsett's status for Thursday's game versus the Giants is increasingly unfavorable with his second straight DNP.

  • Status for Thursday in doubt

    Dorsett (hamstring) was projected as a non-participant on Monday's injury report, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old's hamstring injury isn't believed to be serious, but he'll have a tough time returning on a short week with the Patriots facing the Giants on Thursday. Dorsett likely will need to be listed as a limited participant Tuesday or Wednesday to have a real chance of suiting up.

  • Injury not believed to be serious

    Dorsett's hamstring injury isn't believed to be serious, Doug Kyed of NESN reports.

    Analysis: It doesn't sound like Dorsett will miss extended time, but he'll have a hard time healing up in time to play in Week 6, as the Patriots are on a short week before taking on the Giants on Thursday.

  • Exits game with hamstring injury

    Dorsett was forced out of Sunday's game against Washington with a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: With Dorsett ailing, Jakobi Meyers is a candidate to see added snaps Sunday behind starting receivers Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon.

  • Catches two passes in Week 4

    Dorsett was on the field for 40 of a possible 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. The wideout caught two of his nine targets in the game for 10 yards and added a carry for another nine yards.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Julian Edelman logged 62 snaps and Josh Gordon was on the field for 58 snaps. Dorsett's nine targets marked his season high, while Edelman and Gordon saw seven looks each Sunday. In the coming weeks, Dorsett will remain involved in the Patriots offense as the team's clear No. 3 wideout, but in most cases he doesn't figure to be the team's top target at his position and will be a hit-or-miss fantasy option as long as Edelman and Gordon are both available.

  • Scores 25-yard TD against Jets

    Dorsett caught six of seven targets for 53 yards and a touchdown while adding 12 yards on two carries in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Dorsett did most of his damage on a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Fellow wide receiver Julian Edelman left the game due to a chest injury, and Dorsett would likely see a boost in target share against the Bills in Week 4 if Edelman is forced to sit that one out.

  • Back in key role post-AB

    Dorsett should take on more responsibility in the New England offense following Antonio Brown's release Friday, Nick Underhill of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots return to their Week 1 alignment with Dorsett joining Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon in three-wide formations. Dorsett won't have many games like his two-TD performance in the season opener, but the 84.3 percent snap share from that contest is replicable. He gets a tasty matchup Sunday against an injury-plagued Jets defense.

  • Catches three passes Sunday

    Dorsett caught all three of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 43-0 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The speedy wideout logged 35 of a possible 72 snaps on offense Sunday, and newcomer Antonio Brown (eight), Josh Gordon (five) and Julian Edelman (four) all saw more targets than Dorsett, who recorded a 4-95-2 stat line Week 1. As long as that trio is healthy and available, Dorsett's volume figures to be capped, but in that context, the 2015 first-rounder is one receiver absence away from fantasy utility.

  • Goes off for two scores

    Dorsett caught all four of his targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-3 rout of the Steelers.

    Analysis: Injuries opened up an opportunity for Dorsett, and he took advantage of said opportunity in spades. It is worth noting that the speedy wideout only garnered four total targets, teaming up with Josh Gordon as Tom Brady's deep specialists while Julian Edelman and James White served as the more frequent underneath options. Even with this monster performance, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dorsett's role reduce next Sunday against the Dolphins if free-agent acquisition Antonio Brown is a full go.

  • In the Week 1 mix

    With first-rounder N'Keal Harry (ankle) on IR, the Patriots' wideout corps heading into Week 1 features Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Demaryius Thomas, Dorsett and undrafted rookies Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

    Analysis: Given that Thomas is bouncing back from an Achilles' injury and was limited at Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue, it's not hard to imagine a scenario in which Dorsett ends being the team's third-busiest wideout in Week 1, at least in terms of snaps. Though Edelman and Gordon obviously carry more fantasy upside than Dorsett, Harry's placement on IR and uncertainty with regard to how effective Thomas will be out of the gate places Dorsett on the fantasy fringe, just one break away from…read more

  • Good showing with starters

    Dorsett caught all seven of his targets for 47 yards in Thursday night's 10-3 preseason win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Dorsett's reception tally included five grabs on passes from Tom Brady, showing the signal-caller's confidence in him ahead of the regular season. Although Dorsett still currently projects as the fourth or fifth wideout on New England's depth chart when everyone's available, Thursday's showing should at least be reassuring, especially with Julian Edelman and N'Keal Harry (leg) overcoming minor ailments and Josh Gordon and Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) still working their way back to full…read more

  • On track to play Thursday

    Dorsett (thumb) appears poised to see action in Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: With both Julian Edelman and Demaryius Thomas having been recently activated and Josh Gordon now back with the team, Dorsett is fighting to keep his roster spot, thanks to the emergence of Jakobi Meyers. It would surprise us if Dorsett ends up getting cut, but assuming he sticks, his path to regular targets is muddled by the team's recent infusion of depth at wideout.

    Dorsett didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee.

    Analysis: Removed early from Wednesday's practice, Dorsett was spotted the following day with a wrap around his thumb. His competition for playing time suddenly looks much tougher after the NFL reinstated Josh Gordon from suspension, but the Patriots do have serious injury issues at wide receiver, with Dorsett joined on the sidelines Saturday by Julian Edelman (thumb), Demaryius Thomas (Achilles), N'Keal Harry (leg) and Maurice Harris (leg).

    Dorsett has a wrap around his thumb and isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Nora Princiotti of The Boston Globe reports.

    Dorsett exited Wednesday's practice early due to an unspecified injury, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: The nature of Dorsett's injury might not be revealed unless he ends up missing a few days on account of the issue. The 2015 first-round pick is competing for a spot in New England's receiver corps and has a shot to earn a starting gig Week 1 if fully healthy. Maurice Harris, Dontrelle Inman, Jacobi Meyers and Braxton Berrios all stand to see increased reps as long as Dorsett remains absent.

  • Not quite a roster lock

    Dorsett may not be a lock for the Patriots' 53-man roster, but he's viewed as a favorite to stick around with the team after the preseason concludes, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Julian Edelman, first-round pick K'Neal Harry and special-teams ace Matthew Slater are the only true roster locks at receiver, as Josh Gordon may still be suspended and Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) may open the season on the PUP list. Dorsett thus stands a chance to earn a Week 1 starting spot, though New England also has Bruce Ellington, Maurice Harris and Braxton Berrios competing for roles. Dorsett could be in some danger if he struggles during training camp, as his one-year, $2.6 million…read more

  • Inks deal to stay in New England

    The Patriots and Dorsett agreed to terms of a one-year contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: New England has kicked off the new league year by locking up depth options like Dorsett. As the receiving corps stands, he's the clear No. 2 behind Julian Edelman, pending the NFL reinstating the suspended Josh Gordon and any other additions this offseason. In his second year with the Patriots in 2018, Dorsett averaged 25 offensive snaps per game en route to 32 receptions (on 42 targets) for 290 yards and three touchdowns.

  • Logs 26 snaps in Super Bowl

    Dorsett was on the field for 26 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII. He did not record a catch.

    Analysis: Dorsett, who was not targeted in the contest, will be eligible for free agency next month. The speedy 26-year-old finished the 2018 season with 32 catches (on 42 targets) for 290 yards and three TDs in 16 games. The 2015 first-rounder's overall numbers were capped by the fact there were multiple games in which he wasn't targeted, but Dorsett was able to produce when the team was shorthanded, and it's still possible that he'll re-sign with New England if he isn't lured away by another team…read more

    With Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) inactive, Dorsett is in line to see added snaps Sunday against the Jets, Kevin Duffy of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: He'll still be working behind Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan, but Dorsett, who hasn't caught a pass since Week 12, has a chance to factor in Sunday, given that the Patriots' thinned-out wideout corps will be without both Patterson and Josh Gordon (suspension) in Week 17.

    Analysis: Dorsett was on the field for 27 out of a possible 75 snaps on offense Sunday, but even in the absence of Josh Gordon, he wasn't a factor in the game. It's possible that could change either in Week 17 or the playoffs, but Dorsett is off the fantasy lineup radar until he starts catching passes again.

    Analysis: Dorsett hasn't logged more than 15 snaps in a game since Week 5, with Julian Edelman's return from a suspension and Josh Gordon's expanded role on offense leaving fewer opportunities available. The speedster's fantasy value will remain limited unless injuries hit the team's wideout corps down the road.

    Analysis: In the process, Dorsett hauled in both of his targets for 18 yards. The Patriots are on bye Week 11, but if Julian Edelman's ankle issue ends up threatening his status for the team's Nov. 25 tilt against the Jets, Dorsett's profile in the New England offense could expand Week 12.

Dorsett's fantasy value remains limited, but if injuries hit the team's wideout corps down the road, he's capable of producing when given an expanded workload in the New England offense.
