Jahan Dotson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Working as starter Dotson is playing with Atlanta's first-team offense at training camp, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Dotson has featured with the starters consistently, working alongside Drake London while Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch rotate in. Dotson had a nice gain on a crossing route early in the full-team period of Thursday's practice. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has recorded 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through four NFL regular seasons split between Washington and Philadelphia, with seven of those scores coming in Dotson's rookie campaign.

Poised to compete for starting role Dotson is set to compete for slotting in a "wide open" Atlanta wideout depth chart behind Drake London, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.

Impact Dotson had some solid stretches early in his career with Washington, but his production dropped dramatically after he was traded to the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season. Of course, Philadelphia had the stud wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith hogging most of Jalen Hurts' targets and consequently impeding Dotson's opportunities. Things are a bit different for the Penn State product after he signed with Atlanta in early March -- though Drake London (undisclosed) is the team's clear alpha at wideout, the No. 2 slot in the WR pecking order is probably going to come down to whoever wins the competition between Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and third-round rookie Zachariah Branch. With that said, the Falcons will also feature TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson as key components of their air game, so even if Dotson emerges with a starting role, he figures to be behind multiple players in terms of distribution of targets.

Signing with Falcons Dotson and the Falcons have reached agreement on a two-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Schefter reports it as a two-year, $15 million deal, including $10 million guaranteed at signing. The contract suggests Dotson will compete for a starting job, after he spent two seasons in Philadelphia as a lightly targeted No. 3 WR (37 catches in 34 regular-season games) behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. A 2022 first-round pick, Dotson will turn 26 in March and now figures to compete with fellow free-agent signing Olamide Zaccheaus for playing time alongside No. 1 receiver Drake London.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes season with 18 catches Dotson finished his second season with the Eagles with a total of 18 receptions for 262 yards and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games.

Impact Dotson's numbers were very similar to last year's 19 catches for 216 yards and zero scores, a big step down from his average of 42 catches for 520.5 yards and 5.5 touchdowns in his first two years in the league with Washington. If he remains stuck behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia again next season, expect similar production.

Zero catches against Bills Dotson finished with zero catches on one target in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

Impact Dotson has now been held without a catch on six different occasions this season and has caught exactly one pass seven times. If the Eagles rest their starters in next week's regular season finale against the Commanders, he could play a larger role, but with the second seed still a possibility with a win and a Bears loss, that may not be the plan.

Logs three catches vs. Washington Dotson caught three passes on as many targets for 13 yards during the Eagles' 29-18 win over the Commanders on Saturday.

Impact A.J. Brown (12 targets) and DeVonta Smith (eight targets) dominated the looks from Jalen Hurts during Saturday's win. Dotson got into the action with two catches during the Eagles' first offensive drive of the second half, and he would have had a five-yard touchdown catch to his name had it not been nullified by an offensive holding penalty. Dotson has not seen more than three targets in a game this season, and he'll carry a 15-222-1 line (on 27 targets) into the Eagles' Week 16 road tilt against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 28. With Philadelphia locked in as the NFC East divisional champions, it's possible that Dotson's fantasy floor gets elevated over the final two games of the regular season if the Eagles decide to reduce the workloads of Brown and Smith before the start of the postseason.

4 Takeaways From the Eagles' Win Over the Commanders

Third zero-target game of 2025 Dotson was not targeted a single time in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

Impact The lopsided scoreline led to the Eagles rushing 47 times while attempting just 18 passes, so there weren't many targets to go around. Dotson typically doesn't see much action even when the Eagles need to pass, however, averaging just 1.7 targets and 0.9 catches per game this season.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Targeted three times in OT loss Dotson caught one of three targets for three yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Impact Dotson caught just one of three targets for the second straight week, as the fourth-year wideout continues to see minimal usage in the Eagles struggling aerial attack. The 25-year-old should continue to operate as Philadelphia's No. 3 wide receiver, but this role is unlikely to produce much fantasy value down the stretch. Next up for the Eagles is a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.
