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

No catches in Eagles debut

September 9, 2024
Dotson finished his Eagles debut Friday against the Packers with zero catches on one target.
ANALYSIS
Dotson was on the field for 32 offensive snaps, well ahead of fellow depth wideouts Johnny Wilson (10) and Britain Covey (9), but the only time quarterback Jalen Hurts looked his way, it nearly resulted in a pick-six. Dotson's role can only grow from here, and he's likely to be more involved once he's had more than two full weeks of practice with his new team, which acquired him from the Commanders in late August. However, the Eagles haven't typically afforded many targets to receivers other than A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in recent seasons.

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.

Surprisingly moved to Philly

August 22, 2024
Dotson projects to serve as the Eagles' No. 3 receiver after being traded from the Commanders to Philadelphia on Thursday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dotson, who'd failed to make a strong enough case for the Commanders' No. 2 receiver job this summer, was moved along with a 2025 fifth-round pick in exchange for the Eagles' 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round selections in the same draft. The 2022 first-round pick will slot in as a speedy No. 3 receiver behind starters A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, providing Jalen Hurts with another high-upside target.
