Jahan Dotson News
Tuesday, July 21, 11:36 AM
The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, current Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has yet to live up to his draft-day pedigree. Dotson spent the 2025 season with the Philadelphia Eagles, recording 18 catches for 262 yards and one touchdown on 36 targets across 17 games (10 starts). However, the 26-year-old could have the fresh start he needs this season in Atlanta. The Falcons have a superstar WR1 in Drake London, but Dotson currently appears to be competing with veteran Olamide Zaccheaus and third-round rookie Zachariah Branch for WR2 duties. While Dotson has played a very low-usage role with the Eagles over the past two seasons, he recorded over 1,000 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns across the first two seasons of his career with the Commanders. Given his opportunity to re-establish himself in Atlanta, Dotson profiles as an intriguing dynasty buy-low candidate ahead of 2026.

De'Zhaun Stribling News
Monday, July 27, 4:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers rookie second-round wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling has quickly impressed quarterback Brock Purdy in training camp, according to Matt Lively of CBS Sports. Purdy said Stribling has paid close attention to the details of his routes and has "done a good job of studying" and "being on top of it." The 49ers' signal-caller went on to say that Stribling has proven that "he's reliable," while adding that it's also Day 2 of camp. Many draft pundits thought the Niners reached quite a bit for Stribling with the first overall pick of the second round in this year's NFL draft, but so far, he has backed it up. The 49ers have future Hall of Famer Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall in their receiver room as well, so Stribling still has a lot to prove. But those who took a chance on Stribling in dynasty/keeper leagues have to be happy with the early returns this summer. He mostly stands out for his speed on offense, but it might take an injury for Stribling to become fantasy relevant in standard 12-team leagues in 2026. RotoBaller currently has the Ole Miss product ranked as the No. 78 fantasy WR for the upcoming season.
