Jahan Dotson Pulling Away As Falcons' WR2

Thursday, August 13, 6:13 PM

So far, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has consistently spent time with the first-team offense in training camp. Dotson signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the Falcons this offseason after two consecutive seasons as a rotational player with the Philadelphia Eagles. While star receiver Drake London should operate as the WR1 this season, Dotson looks to be fending off Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie Zachariah Branch in camp. The Falcons are seeking a replacement for receiver Darnell Mooney, who has averaged more than 40 yards per game with the team. If Dotson wins the WR2 battle, his current WR96 ranking in RotoBaller's positional rankings is a great value for fantasy managers in deeper leagues to take advantage of.

KaVontae Turpin News

KaVontae Turpin Working With First-Team Offense

Sunday, August 9, 6:19 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin has had a strong training camp and has worked with the No. 1 offense throughout. Turpin has made plays as a receiver, catching passes from quarterback Dak Prescott, and remains one of the NFL's best returners. Last season, the undrafted playmaker hauled in 26 of 38 targets for 396 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 89 rushing yards and leading the NFL in kick return yards. While he'll likely work behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy, Turpin adds fantasy value in leagues that favor return yards or in 16+ team leagues. Otherwise, he's on the outside of fantasy relevance for the 2026 season.
