Can Jahan Dotson Handle WR2 Role in Atlanta?

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.

Isaiah Bond News

Isaiah Bond Should Have Bigger Role, But Will QB Issues Hold him Back?

Wednesday, March 18, 3:22 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond should be a top-three wideout for the team as he heads into his second year in the NFL, behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. The 22-year-old pass-catcher from the University of Texas averaged a healthy 18.8 yards per catch in his first 16 NFL games (two starts) in 2025, although he finished with only 18 catches for 338 yards on 44 targets. Bond displayed his big-play abilities, primarily late in the year after fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders was named the starter under center. He has some intriguing long-term fantasy upside because of his big-play ability, but he'll probably go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall as the Browns continue to rebuild their offense, which finished 2025 with the second-fewest points per game (16.4), ahead of only the Las Vegas Raiders. Bond averaged just 1.1 catches per game last year, so that number will need to come up for fantasy managers in shallow redraft leagues to consider him off the waiver wire in 2026.
