Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Adonai Mitchell

Saturday, November 22, 12:14 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.

Most fantasy managers were probably avoiding all of the New York Jets' offensive skill players with rookie quarterback Brady Cook making his first career start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Wide receiver Adonai Mitchell still managed to produce for fantasy managers who were brave enough to start him, as he finished with six catches on nine targets for a team-high 58 yards and a touchdown in the 48-20 loss. His six receptions tied for the team high, while his nine targets and 58 receiving yards led the team. The 23-year-old also carried the football one time for a loss of four yards. It's not always going to be pretty the rest of the way for Mitchell with New York's less-than-ideal QB situation, but he proved on Sunday that he's a weekly flex consideration. In his five games with the Jets, he's been targeted 40 times and has 18 catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns.
