Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will go on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The 24-year-old has been a non-factor for fantasy purposes in 2024 but has the chance to step in as the No. 2 option beside superstar A.J. Brown, as DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out. Dotson has just four targets over the past three weeks and is sharing playing time with rookie Johnny Wilson, but with six teams on bye and the matchup against the Rams being great, he will be on the flex radar in Week 12. Wilson should also see his role increase, making both players incredibly risky starts, but Dotson should have a slight edge over the rookie in terms of playing time.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The 24-year-old saw a few more snaps than usual last week after A.J. Brown went out with a knee injury, but only managed to have one target, which he caught for a 36-yard gain. Brown and DeVonta Smith managed injuries in practice this week, but both were a full go on Friday and were left off of the final injury report. The matchup should not scare you, but Dallas is middle of the pack against opposing wide receivers in fantasy points allowed and Dotson is not seeing enough target involvement to warrant starting. His role could increase if Brown or Smith miss time, but unless that happens, Dotson is better left on benches in all formats.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught his lone target for a 36-yard gain during the team's 28-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The catch came in the second half after A.J. Brown (knee) left the game early in the third quarter. It was an impressive grab near the sideline but it is just his seventh reception of the year through nine weeks. There have been plenty of chances for the former Washington Commander to stand out in this offense, but quarterback Jalen Hurts does not look his way at the moment. He will remain waiver wire fodder in redraft leagues and a hold in dynasty heading into Week 10.
Nov 4, 2024 9:08 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught two of his four targets for 11 yards during the team's 33-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The former first-round pick had yet another shot to break out or even prove he belongs as the No. 3 receiver in Philadelphia, but again came up short. None of the Eagles' wide receivers did much in this contest, as they combined for just 34 yards while tight end Dallas Goedert nearly doubled their total on his own. The bye week could not have come at a better time for the Eagles, as they should enter Week 6 with their top targets A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) for their game against the Cleveland Browns. Dotson should be ignored in all redraft leagues for the time being.
Sep 29, 2024 9:46 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. The 24-year-old has been quiet through three weeks, amassing just three receptions for 14 yards. While he has come along slow as he learns the Eagles offensive system, he has increased his snap percentage each week, ending last week with 88%. However, Dotson failed to impress with no A.J. Brown (hamstring) last week, but now has the chance to step up against with DeVonta Smith (concussion) ruled out and Brown questionable. Rookie Johnny Wilson is another name that will see an increase in usage, but Dotson is the one who is expected to be the No. 2 receiver if Brown is active and the top one if Brown sits out again. The matchup shouldn't scare anyone away for fantasy purposes, but because no wide receiver outside of Brown and Smith has done anything this year thus far, the former Washington Commander is tough to trust. If Brown is out, Dotson turns into a risky flex play, while he remains a WR4/5 if Brown is active.
Sep 27, 2024 8:19 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught two of three targets for a gain of eight yards during the team's 15-12 win over the New Orleans Saints. The former Washington Commander has done nothing of note in Philly up to this point and even with an increased chance for more looks due to A.J. Brown (hamstring) sitting out and DeVonta Smith (concussion) leaving early, Dotson did nothing in this game. The 24-year-old can be sent to the waiver wire and ignored even with the potential of Brown and Smith missing in Week 4 against the Buccaneers. Until Dotson shows us something, he can be ignored and benched in dynasty formats too.
Sep 22, 2024 8:10 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will face off against the Saints in New Orleans in Week 3. The former Washington Commander had his chance to get more involved last week against Atlanta with A.J. Brown (hamstring) out but saw just one target and was outplayed by Britain Covey. That was also with Dotson on the field for 79% of the snaps. He has not clicked with quarterback Jalen Hurts just yet and should not be considered a fantasy option in any capacity this week against New Orleans, even with Brown expected to miss his second game in a row. He is better left on waivers in redraft leagues and on benches in dynasty formats.
Sep 20, 2024 1:55 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson disappeared in Week 2 with two targets and one catch for six yards on Monday against the Falcons. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out of this game, Dotson was a popular waiver-wire addition this week and turned in a dud in a seemingly good spot for him. Britain Covey (six catches for 23 yards) was more involved than Dotson in this game, further frustrating those who took a flier on Dotson this week. The Penn State product, who came to the Eagles in an offseason trade with Washington, has just three targets in two games this season and is tough to trust moving forward even if Brown misses more time.
Sep 17, 2024 9:31 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will take on the Atlanta Falcons in the Eagles' first true home game of the season on Monday night. The third-year receiver failed to catch his lone target last week during the team's win over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil but has the potential to see an increased role heading into Week 2. Star receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Friday's practice and has the potential to either miss the game Monday or play at less than 100%. With no other real competition for targets behind him, Dotson could see an increase in snaps and routes run Monday night. He is not in serious consideration unless you are in a large league, but keep an eye on Dotson this week in case he proves that he needs to see more targets in the future.
Sep 13, 2024 7:55 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will face off against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil to open the regular season on Friday. The former Washington Commander was traded to the Eagles two weeks ago as the team was making its final roster transactions before the regular season, giving Philadelphia one of the strongest receiver trios in the league. With that said, Dotson does not hold a ton of fantasy value in redraft leagues heading into Week 1. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has never supported three fantasy relevant wide receivers in the past and while the addition of Dotson makes the offense even tougher to stop, the target share and overall involvement for the 24-year-old is not expected to make him a fantasy asset on a weekly basis. If anything were to happen to A.J. Brown of DeVonta Smith, Dotson will be a hot waiver addition, but until then he is little more than an emergency bench stash or can be left on the waiver wire. He is not a recommended fantasy option in Week 1 against the Packers.
Sep 4, 2024 1:08 PM EST
The Washington Commanders are trading wide receiver Jahan Dotson and a fifth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks. This is one of the more surprising deals in recent memory, considering the two organizations are NFC East foes. Dotson was selected by Washington in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft and racked up 35 receptions for 523 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie in 12 games. Despite playing in 17 games in 2023, he tallied just 518 yards and four touchdowns. There have been reports that Dotson was failing to secure the WR2 role in Washington this offseason, and his departure clears the way for Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Luke McCaffrey to see more snaps than expected in 2024. Dotson's fantasy value was already declining, but now that he's behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in the Philadelphia passing game, it would be a surprise if he sees a healthy amount of targets from Jalen Hurts.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson expressed that he is "not where he wants to be" after Thursday's practice. Dotson further expressed, "I'm trying to grow every single day that I come out here. Trying to find something to get better at every single day." These comments came just a few days after head coach Dan Quinn told the media that the Commanders are still searching for the No. 2 receiver. Dyami Brown led all wide receivers in yards in their first preseason game on Saturday afternoon and has been having a fantastic training camp. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to the Washington wide receiver room during the final two weeks of the preseason, as it may decide who plays alongside Terry McLaurin this fall.
Aug 16, 2024 4:12 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson has raised eyebrows this spring as he hopes to have a big bounce-back season. According to John Keim of ESPN the Penn State product has looked quite well against press coverage, which was an area he struggled in last season. Dotson caught seven scores in his rookie campaign in 2022 and gained 20 or more yards on 28.6% of his catchers. However, he experienced a significant sophomore slump where he caught only four touchdowns and gained 20 or more yards on a much lower 10.2% mark. In addition, his average air yards per target dropped from 14.35 in his first season to 9.25 last fall. Wide receivers coach Bobby Engram has also expressed the importance of improving his press releases, which will, in turn, get him downfield and provide him with more opportunities to make a big play. The 24-year-old currently sits with an ADP of 154.6 in standard leagues, but he could be a steal as the newly revamped Washington offense with Jayden Daniels at the helm can get Dotson's career back on track.
Jul 3, 2024 7:41 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson concluded his disappointing second season in the NFL with just two receptions on three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-10 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the final game of the regular season. It was an improvement following his third zero-catch game of the year in Week 17 in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but Dotson was ultimately a big disappointment in 2023 after many fantasy experts predicted a breakout season in his second year in the league. He totaled 49 receptions on 83 targets for 518 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games, a slight step back from when he had a 35-523-7 line in 12 games as a rookie. Dotson and the rest of Washington's offense suffered from quarterback Sam Howell's struggles, and it could be an uphill battle for fantasy relevance again in 2024 with a new coaching staff coming in to replace Ron Rivera.
Jan 8, 2024 6:30 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson offers little intrigue during Week 18. This week, the Commanders will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys. While that is a tough opponent for Washington, the matchup doesn't matter for Dotson, as he's not seeing much opportunity in this offense, anyway. Despite appearing in four more games this year than he did as a rookie, the second-year receiver still hasn't surpassed his receiving yardage total from last season. Maybe he'll bounce back next year, but for now, Dotson is not a player who should be trusted for the final week of the regular season.
Jan 5, 2024 4:05 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson wasn't a strong play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers and their smothering defense. In the 27-10 loss, Dotson only saw one target in the passing game and didn't come down with it. The 23-year-old was picked by many to have a breakout in his second NFL season, but it hasn't come. He's mostly been underwhelming with 47 receptions on 80 targets for 501 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games played. Veteran Curtis Samuel has taken valuable targets and production away from Dotson in a pass-happy Commanders offense, as well as Terry McLaurin. Since his last touchdown reception in Week 11, Dotson has only 10 catches on 17 targets for 118 yards and no scores. The former first-rounder is impossible to trust in fantasy lineups for a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
Jan 1, 2024 3:27 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson is not a player most should rely on heading into a Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. In his last three games, the second-year receiver hasn't topped three receptions once while looking like more of a role player for Washington. To make matters worse, starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett (hamstring) might not be available for this game. That would put struggling quarterback Sam Howell back in the driver's seat while downgrading the outlooks for all weapons in this offense. Even if Brissett suits up, Dotson is a player who should remain on waivers during Week 17.
Dec 29, 2023 4:02 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson should not be in starting lineups in Week 16. This week, the Commanders are taking on the New York Jets, a team currently allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Not only is the matchup an issue, but Dotson doesn't even see consistent enough usage to be considered a semi-reliable option. Considering the tough matchup and lack of usage for most of this season, you're likely in trouble if you have to rely on Dotson during the fantasy playoffs in Week 16.
Dec 22, 2023 2:33 PM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson earned just one target, catching it for 12 yards in the team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Washington was largely unable to stop Los Angeles in the first half and didn't string together any successful drives themselves. That led to a 20-0 hole, which, in theory, should have benefited Dotson. He didn't see his first target until midway through the fourth quarter when the Commanders switched from Sam Howell to backup Jacoby Brissett. The latter propelled Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel to big games in limited time, but Dotson remained an afterthought. He now ranks third on the team in targets this season and does not need to be rostered in redraft formats.
Dec 18, 2023 9:32 AM EST
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been tough to rely on this season, and it should be more of the same in Week 15. This week, the Commanders are heading on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams. With the Rams having a strong offense, the Commanders will likely need to rely on the pass to keep up once again. Although Washington has been the most pass-heavy team in the NFL this season, the distribution of targets has been too unpredictable. So, while Dotson could pay off, he should only be considered an option for managers in desperate situations. Consider the second-year wideout a low-end flex in Week 15.
