Jahan Dotson

Dotson is right on the pace we set for him before the season, 5.8 points a game through five weeks of 2026 against our expected 5.7, and the interesting part is what that means for the rest of the year. He is playing to his number, not exceeding it, and our full-season projection of 86 points put him 266th overall and 92nd among receivers on our board. That is a deep-bench profile.

The volume is the wall. Atlanta threw 55% of its situation-neutral plays last season, and even so London and Pitts combined for 53% of the targets. Receivers in Dotson's spot have averaged a 0.9-point a game drop from one season to the next in crowded rooms, and that shaves what little the depth was supposed to add. The one real positive is 16.4 yards a target, eighth among the 85 receivers with at least 15 targets, so when the deep chances come he can pop, like the 13.4 points in week 4 of 2026. He had just one catch short of that pop the rest of the month.

Last year in Philadelphia he averaged 3.4 points a game and topped the position median in 5 of 15 weeks, so this is a smaller role than the one he already failed to turn into production. His ceiling this year sits around 125 points if everything breaks right, with injuries the thing that pulls the low end toward 47. Healthy every week so far, bye not until week 11 of 2026. We would hold him only on a roster thin at receiver. If you need the spot, let him go and use it on someone with a wider weekly range.
