Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Rashid Shaheed

Friday, November 8, 9:02 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. The 24-year-old saw a few more snaps than usual last week after A.J. Brown went out with a knee injury, but only managed to have one target, which he caught for a 36-yard gain. Brown and DeVonta Smith managed injuries in practice this week, but both were a full go on Friday and were left off of the final injury report. The matchup should not scare you, but Dallas is middle of the pack against opposing wide receivers in fantasy points allowed and Dotson is not seeing enough target involvement to warrant starting. His role could increase if Brown or Smith miss time, but unless that happens, Dotson is better left on benches in all formats.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Shaheed was placed on the injured reserve earlier on Thursday but now faces a four-to-six-month recovery, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. This is a significant loss for the New Orleans passing attack, as Shaheed was enjoying a breakout campaign. Across the first six weeks, Shaheed eclipsed 15.0 PPR points four times and averaged 58.2 yards per game. Fantasy managers should expect Chris Olave to be the top option once he returns from his concussion. On Thursday evening against the Denver Broncos, Bub Means and Mason Tipton will likely operate as the top two pass catchers.
