7. Donte Moncrief

A former fantasy star (he had a great spell in 2016 with seven touchdowns in nine games), Moncrief is always a potential touchdown-scorer. Even though he hasn’t gone over 100 yards receiving in a game since Week 12 of 2015, he’s a strong physical playmaker who can go up and win the ball in the air.

Last week against the Seattle Seahawks, Moncrief secured his first touchdown of the season, and he’s gearing up for more this week when the Colts face the San Francisco 49ers. San Fran gives up 240.3 yards on the ground (22nd in the league) and 23.5 points per game (24th) so there is a good chance for Jacoby Brissett to put points on the board.

T.Y. Hilton is the clear number one receiver on this team – there’s no denying it – but Moncrief can make an impact. Tight end Jack Doyle, a potential red zone target, is out this Sunday and Moncrief can be the big body at the goal line and should this game be a shoot out; a beneficiary.
