Agrees to deal with Raiders Dorsett has agreed to sign with the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact In 15 games with the Texans in 2022, Dorsett recorded 20 catches for 257 yards and a touchdown on 40 targets. This coming season, the 30-year-old figures to handle a complementary role in a Raiders' wideout corps led by Davante Adams and pending free agent addition Jakobi Meyers.

Texans vs. Colts Week 18 injury report: WR Phillip Dorsett out The Houston Texans released their final injury report for Week 18, and receiver Phillip Dorsett was ruled out.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • USATODAY.COM

Ruled out for finale Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Dorsett was unable to practice Friday after a limited session Thursday and was subsequently ruled out. He finishes the 2022 season with 20 catches for 257 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited due to hamstring issue The Texans listed Dorsett as a limited practice participant Thursday due to a hamstring issue.

Impact Dorsett wasn't included on the Texans' initial Week 18 practice report issued Wednesday, so his addition a day later might suggest that he suffered the injury at some point during Thursday's practice. The wideout will have another chance Friday to practice in some capacity before the Texans decide whether he carries an injury designation into Sunday's season finale in Indianapolis.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high targets in loss Dorsett caught three of a season-high six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Jacksonville in Week 17.

Impact Dorsett, who played 39 snaps, has benefitted from Nico Collins' season-ending foot injury and racked up 16 targets over the last five weeks while averaging 44 snaps. His playing time dipped the last two weeks with Brandin Cooks' return from a calf injury, but Dorsett remains a potential option.

JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Houston in receiving yards Dorsett recorded three catches on three targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 19-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Dorsett finished with fewer targets than both Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore in targets, though he was the most efficient of the group with his opportunity. All three of his receptions came in the fourth quarter, highlighted by 20 and 18-yard gains. Despite an increased role in the absence of Nico Collins (foot), Dorsett managed to top 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 9.

DECEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

One target in loss Dorsett did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Kansas City.

Impact With Houston's top two wide receivers unavailable due to injury for a second consecutive week, Dorsett once again was given ample playing time, and for a second consecutive week his production was meager. The veteran wideout has four catches on seven targets for 36 yards over his last three games.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to produce with expanded role Dorsett recorded two receptions on three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Dorsett was expected to see an expanded role in the absence of Brandin Cooks (groin) and Nico Collins (groin). However, he was out-produced by both Chris Moore and Amari Rodgers while delivering a disappointing performance of his own. Dorsett will fade to an even further peripheral role in the offense once one of Cooks or Collins is able to return, though he's proven unreliable even in their absences.

Added snaps on tap Sunday Dorsett is in line to work as a starting outside wide receiver during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, as the Texans have ruled out both Nico Collins (foot) and Brandin Cooks (ca...

Impact The 5-foot-10, 192-pound Dorsett and the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Chris Moore will presumably see most of the reps on the perimeter for Houston, while the lone other healthy receiver on the 53-man roster -- the 5-foot-9, 212-pound Amari Rodgers -- lacks the speed to play on the outside and is better suited for the slot role. Houston will likely add a receiver or two from the practice squad Saturday to restore some depth at the position, but Dorsett should be primed for a heavy snap count nonetheless. When Cooks and Collins were both sidelined back in Week 9 against the Eagles, Dorsett handled a season-high 77 percent snap share and finished with three catches for 69 yards on five targets.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Steps in for injured Cooks Dorsett caught two of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Browns in Week 13.

Impact Dorsett was given a boost in playing time with Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, but Nico Collins (10 targets) was the target beneficiary. Houston's passing offense is near the bottom of the league, which makes it hard for fantasy managers to rely on its wideouts.

Starting role awaits Dorsett is expected to serve as one of the Texans' three starting receivers Sunday against the Browns with Brandin Cooks (calf) inactive for the contest, Aaron Wilson of SI.com rep...

Impact Nico Collins has drawn at least seven targets in each of the past three games and should serve as Houston's clear No. 1 receiver Sunday, but the absence of Cooks will at least open up more work for Dorsett and Chris Moore. When Cooks and Collins were both sidelined Week 9 against the Eagles, Dorsett played 77 percent of the Texans' offensive snaps and finished with three receptions for 69 yards on five targets.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted twice in loss Dorsett caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Dorsett's caught just 10 of 24 targets this season, but that says more about the quarterback situation in Houston than the wide receiver. He's survived numerous challenges from practice-squad members and waiver claims but has held onto the No. 4 wideout job. The next challenger for his spot could be Amari Rodgers, claimed off waivers from Green Bay, but he's has been a healthy inactive for two games since he was added to the roster.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted once in loss Dorsett did not catch his lone target and played 14 snaps in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Washington

Impact Dorsett's usage was down after he entered the game on an upswing, having caught eight of 17 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown over the last four games. The Texans claimed wideout Amari Rodgers off waivers from Green Bay last week, so Dorsett's role could diminish even further down the stretch.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to full practice Dorsett (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Dorsett's full workout Thursday puts him in line to suit up Sunday against the Giants, but the receiver could be in line for a more muted role after compiling 10 targets between the past two contests while playing more than three-quarters of the Texans' snaps on offense in both of those games. Houston's top two wideouts -- Nico Collins (chest) and Brandin Cooks (wrist) -- both sat out the team's Week 9 loss to the Eagles, but the two were able to practice Thursday in a limited capacity and are seemingly trending toward returns to the lineup this weekend.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited due to ankle injury Dorsett (ankle) was a limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Dorsett filled in as a starter last Thursday against the Eagles, catching three of five targets for 69 yards in a 29-17 loss with both Brandin Cooks (personal/wrist) and Nico Collins (groin) inactive. Collins returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, while Cooks is back with the team but didn't practice.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high receiving yardage total Dorsett secured three of five targets for 69 yards in the Texans' 29-17 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

Impact Dorsett enjoyed an expanded role with Brandin Cooks (wrist/personal) and Nico Collins (groin) unavailable, and he took advantage of the opportunity by posting a team-high receiving yardage tally. Dorsett also tied Chris Moore for the team lead in targets, and although Cooks at minimum could be back in action for a Week 10 matchup versus the Giants, Dorsett has demonstrated some utility as a complementary option by posting a 6-120-1 line over his last three games.

Mills unloads well-timed heave that finds Dorsett for 27 yard pickup Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills throws a 27-yard completion to wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • NFL.COM

Could see expanded role Thursday Dorsett may see expanded opportunities Thursday against the Eagles with Nico Collins (groin) ruled out and Brandin Cooks (wrist/personal) listed as questionable but not expected to...

Impact With Collins out this past Sunday against the Titans, Dorsett started and logged 45 of a possible 54 snaps on offense en route to catching one of his five targets for six yards. Now that Cooks is on track to sit out Thursday along with Collins, Dorsett and Chris Moore likely will lead the Texans' Week 9 wideout corps, with Tyron Johnson also in the mix as a third option at receiver. While no member of the trio profiles as a high-percentage fantasy lineup option, Dorsett should at least log plenty of snaps versus Philadelphia. He thus represents an option for those in deeper formats who need to replace Cooks or are in need of short-term wideout depth with six NFL teams on bye this week.
