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.

Ja'Kobi Lane News
Tuesday, June 2, 8:59 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane was a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he has the potential to make an impact on offense from Day 1. The Ravens have long been seeking another reliable receiver to pair with Zay Flowers, but none of Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, or LaJohntay Wester have lived up to the hype so far. Lane could be the answer for the Ravens, and we could possibly even see him start alongside Flowers in Week 1. He's the first receiver drafted by the Ravens' new coaching staff, led by head coach Jesse Minter and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, so we already know the staff thinks highly of him. Whether Lane will consistently receive catchable targets from Lamar Jackson remains unclear, but we're bullish on the possibility of the Baltimore offense being able to support two fantasy-relevant wide receivers going forward. Even if Lane doesn't end up having a huge role from Day 1, he should be a key piece of their long-term plans, making him an intriguing target in rookie drafts. He projects as an early third-round pick in 2026 rookie drafts, and he's the WR77 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
