Phillip Dorsett, WR

This is where we could look at N’Keal Harry to step up as the third wide receiver option for Tom Brady, but there is always a chance he may not even be activated for the game.

If he is, there is also a chance he might not get many targets.

Then again, the New England Patriots always tend to do the opposite of what is being expected.

While it would be nice if Harry gets into the mix, the safer bet here is wide receiver Phillip Dorsett who has been Brady’s deep option and also a player he tends to go to on those longer third down plays to move the chain.

Dorsett was pretty quiet the last game, but with both Julian Edelman and Mohamed Sanu chewing up the middle of the field, there should be some opportunity down the field for Phillip Dorsett, especially against the Philadelphia Eagles secondary.

In all, he’ll bounce back with a nice game and give Brady another option when plays break down.
