Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Jake Bobo

Monday, August 24, 5:54 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been unable to recapture the success of his 2022 rookie season with the Commanders, when seven touchdowns and nearly 15 yards per reception had many believing he was on the precipice of fantasy stardom. With the former first-rounder since being traded for what was essentially a mid-round pick swap and spending the past two seasons as a non-factor in Philadelphia's up-and-down offense, he now has the opportunity to earn a significant role in an Atlanta offense in need of complementary playmakers. The Falcons are loaded at the top of their skill positions with wide receiver Drake London, running back Bijan Robinson, and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., but the talent dries up quickly after that. Dotson has reportedly enjoyed a solid training camp after signing a two-year free agent deal and could hold off third-round pick Zachariah Branch for the second receiver spot and a potentially valuable role in an offense now helmed by Tua Tagovailoa, who has a proven track record of supporting multiple fantasy options. While Dotson is not a player who needs to be targeted as RotoBaller's WR88, he could eventually play his way back into fantasy relevance as a late-season fill-in once byes and injuries begin to pile up.
