The Colts are turning to Philip Rivers to see if he can lead them back to the postseason. Rivers has always been a fan of the tight end. Expect Jack Doyle to have a breakout season with Rivers at the helm.

Jack Doyle (ADP: TE19): Jack Doyle enters this year off of two consecutive disappointing seasons. This is why he comes in as a sleeper and is ranked so low. In 2018, Doyle struggled with injuries and only played 6 games. In 2019, he was stuck behind Eric Ebron. In 2020, Doyle: (1) returns fully healthy, (2) is now the clear number 1 tight end on his team with the departure of Eric Ebron to Pittsburgh, and (3) now has Philip Rivers as his QB, someone who has frequently targeted the Tight End position. See: Gates, Antonio. Or even Hunter Henry.

I don’t think it is unrealistic to see Doyle finish with 80+ receptions and a Top 8 Tight End finish. Heck, in some leagues Doyle will go undrafted, while people will take players like Blake Jarwin or Dallas Goedert go above him. If you like to wait for TE’s, Jack Doyle should be your guy. You can snag him with one of your last picks and receive great value back.

Moving on to the Jaguars.
