Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Jahan Dotson

Sunday, December 21, 12:36 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson (back) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jefferson was questionable heading into Sunday. He missed Wednesday's practice before eventually being upgraded to a full participant on Friday. The 29-year-old has played a full-time role for the Titans since Week 6 but has not been overly productive, collecting 20 catches for 256 yards and a touchdown on 43 targets in that span. In a struggling Titans offense, Jefferson doesn't profile as a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 16. He is projected to continue to operate as the WR3 behind rookies Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.
