7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2

Phillip Dorsett, WR, New England Patriots

ESPN Ownership: 0.3%

With Danny Amendola sitting out practices and likely to miss Sunday's game, the New England Patriots are left super thin at wide receiver. Enter Phillip Dorsett.

The former Indianapolis Colt will be thrust into a larger role as the team will have only three healthy wide receivers available to play versus the New Orleans Saints. Dorsett, who was acquired less than two weeks ago, was held without a catch in Week 1, but saw only 18 snaps against the Kansas City Chiefs, mostly after Amendola left the game. Quarterback Tom Brady did target him once, but overthrew the speedster on a 50-plus yard bomb.

Meanwhile, the Saints are fresh off getting torched on Monday night at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings, where they allowed Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs to rack up 16 catches, 260 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Now they have to face the prolific Patriots offense and you see why the New England owns the highest implied point total of the week at 31.0.

With a shootout in the works and the Pats desperate for healthy wide receiver options, Dorsett makes a great dart-throw if Amendola is ruled out.
