Jahan Dotson News
Tuesday, March 10, 12:26 PM
Retired All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. believes that new Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson "has developed enough" to handle the No. 2 receiver role behind Drake London, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. The Falcons have released Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge, leaving only London, Casey Washington, and Deven Thompkins under contract in 2026. In addition to Dotson, the Falcons signed Olamide Zaccheaus on Monday. The 25-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State only has 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 121 catches in his first four NFL seasons with the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, but his speed means he'll be "expected to play the field-stretcher role" that was handled the last two years by Mooney. Given Atlanta's big question mark at quarterback, Dotson figures to be a boom/bust WR4/5, at best, in fantasy in 2026.

Dontayvion Wicks News
Thursday, February 26, 11:09 AM
Across 14 games in 2025, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks recorded 30 receptions for 332 yards and two touchdowns on 46 targets. It was a disappointing year overall for the 24-year-old, as he posted the lowest receiving yards per game (23.7) and receptions per game (2.1) marks of his three NFL seasons. While Wicks has flashed upside at different points in his career, he's struggled to carve out a consistent role in Green Bay's equal-opportunity passing game. However, the Packers' pass-catching depth chart could get thinner in 2026. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs is set to hit free agency, and tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could miss the start of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL. Still, Wicks would be competing with Packers wideouts Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden for playing time. Based on his inability to differentiate himself in 2025, Wicks' fantasy value in dynasty formats is trending in the wrong direction.
