Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Jahan Dotson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson is on the right track in his recovery from an ACL injury that he suffered in January. Watson is set to begin the season on the active/PUP list, but he reportedly does not look like someone who is in the process of recovering from a significant knee injury. The 2022 second-round pick is one of the most explosive size and speed threats at the receiver position when healthy, and adds an element to the Green Bay offense that is missed when he is not on the field. His 21.4 yards per reception last season ranked second in the league among wide receivers. It's a positive sign to see him moving like himself early on, and it makes him an intriguing upside bet to make late in drafts and stash on the injured list.

The Philadelphia Eagles declined the fifth-year option on wide receiver Jahan Dotson on Wednesday, a source told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. It means that the former 16th overall pick of the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State will head into a contract year in 2025. The 25-year-old pass-catcher spent the first two years of his career with Washington before joining the division-rival Eagles in 2024 and winning a Super Bowl with them. He was much more productive in his first two years in D.C., as he caught just 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards and no touchdowns with Philly in 17 regular-season games (six starts). The Eagles just had two many other weapons on offense for Dotson to really make a mark production-wise as the No. 4 aerial target behind wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert. Barring an injury to Brown or Smith in 2025, Dotson will be off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
