Like the rest of the 2019 Colts, Jack Doyle struggled. On the positive side of the ledger, he stayed healthy and played in all 16 games. But he never got on the same page with Brissett, and produced only 43 receptions for 448 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Now he gets an opportunity to play with Rivers, who may enjoy throwing to tight ends as much as any QB in the league. While Doyle is probably not a special talent, he is steady. He has good hands and typically where he is supposed to be. In this offense and alongside Rivers, I envision him getting around 6 targets per game, which should enable him to catch around around 50 balls for around 600 yards. If he scores a handful of times, that would make him a viable fantasy tight end.
Playing with Rivers will not make him into a young Antonio Gates, but he can provide a steady option who should receive regular targets and score the occasional touchdown. The Colts did add Trey Burton this offseason, who is more dynamic as an athlete. However, Burton has been inconsistent and will likely play a very limited number of snaps, either in special packages or in 12 personnel. Doyle should remain on the field for virtually every snap, since he's a superior blocker and a more consistent player overall.

Colts sign TE Trey Burton, one-year deal
$4M guaranteed from Bears

|  | Free agent TE Trey Burton has agreed to terms with the #Colts, per @EnterSportsMgmt. Back together with coach Frank Reich. He gets a 1-year deal worth the minimum... but he gets a total of $4M that’s already guaranteed from the #Bears. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: With Eric Ebron (PIT) out of the picture the Colts bring in Burton who has disappointed last season (14-84-0) largely due to injury. He's largely off the fantasy radar as a TE2 behind Jack Doyle.
