2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 2022 first-round pick, Dotson had an interesting first two years in the league. As a rookie, he averaged 2.9 catches, 43.6 yards and 0.58 TDs in 12 games. Last year, Dotson played all 17 games and again averaged 2.9 catches but made far fewer big plays (he averaged only 30.0 yards and 0.24 TDs per game). Part of the issue was poor coaching and QB play, though that was perhaps true both seasons and doesn't necessarily explain the drop off between Years 1 and 2. The Commanders weren't sold on a bounce back and ultimately traded Dotson and a fifth-round pick to the division-rival Eagles on Aug. 22 for a third-round selection and two seventh-rounders. While the change of scenery might do him some good, Dotson now finds himself competing for the No. 3 receiver role in an offense that figures to be heavily focused on WRs A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith, RB Saquon Barkley and TE Dallas Goedert. Any real-life benefit for the young wideout won't necessarily materialize in terms of fantasy value. Read Past Outlooks

Catches one long pass
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
November 4, 2024
Dotson made a spectacular catch for a 36-yard gain early in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jaguars but was not targeted any other time.
ANALYSIS
A.J. Brown left with a knee injury shortly before halftime, and Dotson received his one opportunity of the game shortly after the break, reaching over Tyson Campbell's back on a long pass down the left and tipping the ball up to himself to make the grab. Jalen Hurts didn't look Dotson's way again the rest of the game, however, and his workload may be limited again in Week 10 against the Cowboys if Brown's injury proves minor. Brown's tests came back clean after the game and he appears to have a real chance to return without missing any time, but that's not yet guaranteed.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The 16th overall pick in 2022, Dotson scored four TDs in his first four games before missing the next five with a hamstring injury and doing next to nothing his first three weeks after returning. Everything then clicked down the stretch, with the Penn State product averaging 4.2 catches for 68.8 yards and 0.6 TDs on 7.0 targets the final five weeks. He finished the year at 14.9 YPR and 8.6 YPT, and the way he did it wasn't what you'd expect from a guy who'd run a 4.43 40 at 178 pounds. While his speed was a factor, Dotson also thrived on contested balls, including a bunch of plays where he got open and then had to come back to catch an imperfect pass from Carson Wentz or Taylor Heinicke. The plan this year is for fellow second-year pro Sam Howell to join Dotson in the lineup at quarterback, with Jacoby Brissett the backup plan. Terry McLaurin remains a strong favorite to lead the team in targets, but it could be close after Dotson had a 35-34 advantage the final five weeks last year. There's room for both to stay busy, even with Curtis Samuel as a strong No. 3, considering the Commanders don't have a serious receiving threat at tight end for new OC Eric Bieniemy.
Dotson is the first-round rookie wideout most likely to be overlooked in fantasy drafts. That's partially because he was a second-rounder in most mock drafts, and partially because he landed in a Washington offense with Carson Wentz at quarterback and Terry McLaurin as the No. 1 receiver. The recent history of poor organizational management doesn't help, to say the least, and competition for targets could be tough this year if WR Curtis Samuel and TE Logan Thomas manage to get healthy and stay that way. On the other hand, Dotson is a strong prospect if you press pause on the noise around him, coming out of Penn State with 2,757 career receiving yards, including 2,066 (and 20 TDs) in 21 games in his final two seasons. That production — about 100 yards and a TD per game — puts him right in line with other first-round wideouts, as does his 4.43 40-yard dash from the 2022 Combine. Dotson's a bit on the thin side at 5-11, 182, but he has the speed and polish to push for No. 2 WR status in Washington early in the season.

Chance to step up Monday
WRPhiladelphia Eagles
September 15, 2024
Dotson could see additional opportunities Monday against the Falcons, as A.J. Brown won't play due to a hamstring injury, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dotson had no catches and just one target in his Eagles debut, but the trade acquisition from Washington should slide into a more prominent role opposite DeVonta Smith with Brown sidelined. The Eagles have underwhelming wide receiver depth behind Dotson, with rookie Johnny Wilson and Britain Covey on the team and Parris Campbell expected to be elevated from the practice squad. Wilson is questionable due to a hamstring injury.
