Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Jahan Dotson

Friday, August 1, 10:05 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (undisclosed) was injured at practice on Friday. The 29-year-old limped off the field after a catch before being attended to by team medical staff. He appeared in 12 games for the Pats last season. However, Bourne didn't do much from a fantasy standpoint, amassing 28 catches for 305 yards and one touchdown. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, at least until the team provides an official update. With that in mind, Bourne's chances of making the 53-man roster heading into Week 1 were already slim, so an extended absence due to an injury won't help.

The Philadelphia Eagles declined the fifth-year option on wide receiver Jahan Dotson on Wednesday, a source told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. It means that the former 16th overall pick of the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State will head into a contract year in 2025. The 25-year-old pass-catcher spent the first two years of his career with Washington before joining the division-rival Eagles in 2024 and winning a Super Bowl with them. He was much more productive in his first two years in D.C., as he caught just 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards and no touchdowns with Philly in 17 regular-season games (six starts). The Eagles just had two many other weapons on offense for Dotson to really make a mark production-wise as the No. 4 aerial target behind wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert. Barring an injury to Brown or Smith in 2025, Dotson will be off the fantasy radar in most leagues.
