Who Should I Start? Tim Patrick or Jahan Dotson

Wednesday, August 27, 8:07 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will likely step up as second-in-command at his position this week with A.J. Brown sidelined. Typically, Jalen Hurts only gives his top two WRs and Dallas Goedert any notable amount of targets, so with DeVonta Smith sliding into the definitive No.1 slot, there's an opening for some new blood. Dotson has been the third-most productive WR this season for Philly, tallying 111 yards and seven catches on 12 targets. He will line up against the New York Giants on Sunday, who give up the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. While other offensive weapons will likely take precedent, Dotson is an option for deeper leagues as an emergency FLEX.
