Jack Doyle Fantasy Outlook on Rise With Likely Uptick in Volume vs Titans in Week 13


Eric Ebron suffered a season-ending injury in Week 12, which opens up snaps and opportunities for Jack Doyle. This has Doyle's fantasy value on the rise for Week 13, in his matchup with the Tennessee Titans.

Ebron was not playing at the same level as last season, but he still garnered a 15 percent snap share, while Doyle only saw 12 percent. This should allow Doyle to increase his 3.8 average targets per game.
Along with Ebron out of the lineup this week, the Colts will again be without star wide receiver T.Y. Hilton. Between Ebron and Hilton out, this frees up an average of 11.6 targets for Sunday (using only games where both were active).
In PPR scoring, the Titans have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. In the Colts' Week 2 matchup with the Titans, Tennessee allowed five catches for 46 yards and a touchdown to Ebron and Doyle combined.
According to @pfref, Jack Doyle’s 76.4% catch percentage (min. 200 receptions) ranks No. 1 in NFL history for his position.

While Doyle benefits most, athletic third-string tight end Mo Alie-Cox should also see more playing time and targets. Wide receiver Zach Pascal has shown he benefits from Hilton's absence as well.
Despite Doyle's increase in value and solid matchup for Week 13, he did not end up on our Week 13 PPR rankings.
