Who Should I Start? Jahan Dotson or Zachariah Branch

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson has become more interesting for fantasy managers over the last two weeks, recording exactly 54 receiving yards in each game while catching one touchdown pass. The downside is that he's caught no more than two passes in any game this season and received no more than four targets. Still, the 26-year-old has become the team's deep threat, with an average depth of target (ADOT) of 16.4 yards, compared to Drake London, whose 9.1-yard ADOT is second-best on the team. Even so, Dotson's limited involvement and dependency on big plays make the Penn State product a risky fantasy play most weeks. The Bears defense will be without multiple key defenders this week, which could mean a couple more opportunities, but the fifth-year pro is still low in the receiving pecking order in Atlanta, making him a WR6 this week or a DFS tournament dart throw.
