21. New England Patriots

WR. Patriots. Phillip Dorsett. 21. player. 47.

The Patriots have always been active on the trade market, and they are never afraid to make midseason deals because of how much they believe in their system and ability to develop players.

One player who has really increased his value while in New England is Phillip Dorsett, a former first-round receiver for the Colts who appeared on his way to bust status.

Among Patriots receivers, he’s actually played more snaps than everyone but Chris Hogan so far this season. That’s not entirely a surprise considering the turnover the Patriots have had and Julian Edelman serving a four-game suspension.

At this point, if the Patriots can find a way to get something of value in return, it seems like snaps could be tougher to come by for Dorsett with Josh Gordon in the mix and Edelman back in the fray.

The Patriots probably don’t mind having the depth at receiver but some team might make them an enticing offer for Dorsett.
