Jahan Dotson to be Atlanta's WR2 in 2026?

Friday, July 3, 9:31 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson hasn't caught 50 passes in an NFL season, hasn't reached 20 receptions in either of the last two years, and has averaged just 380 receiving yards per season in his four years in the NFL with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles after Washington took him 16th overall in the 2022 draft out of Penn State. He joined the Falcons this offseason on a two-year, $15 million deal, and while not much is expected of him, the 26-year-old pass-catcher has an opportunity in his new digs to become the WR2 behind Drake London. London is the only receiver on the roster who had more than seven catches in Atlanta in 2025. Dotson's rookie year in 2022 was his best, when he caught 35 of 61 targets for 523 yards and seven touchdowns in D.C. He's seen 31.5% of his career targets from the slot, but he may be asked to play more outside in Atlanta in new head coach Kevin Stefanski's offensive scheme. The speedy 5-foot-11, 184-pounder should be viewed as a deep sleeper in 2026 fantasy drafts, especially with the Falcons' quarterback situation unsettled going into training camp this summer.

Dontayvion Wicks News

Dontayvion Wicks a "Key Piece" to the Eagles Offense?

Wednesday, June 17, 5:25 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles sent fifth and seventh-round picks to the Packers back in April to acquire fourth-year wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks. At the time, the deal to send two-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown to the Patriots, which has since become official, was viewed in some league circles as a foregone conclusion, and NFL reporter Albert Breer believes that Wicks will be a major piece of the puzzle in replacing Brown's productivity. In a revamped Eagles receiver room, Wicks stands out for the size he offers over DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, and Marquise Brown, and he has the most experience playing on the boundary, where Brown saw close to 90% of his snaps in 2025. With Lemon unable to take part in minicamp practices due to an injured hamstring, many reports had Wicks labeled as a standout and an early candidate to earn reps alongside Smith in two-receiver sets. Coming from a similarly crowded receiver room in Green Bay, Wicks has been unable to match the 581 yards of his 2023 rookie season, but with a clean slate in a new-look Philadelphia offense, Breer believes he has the ability to earn a major role, and he could become a late-round draft steal as RotoBaller's WR80.
