2024 RTSports Outlook

Dotson had a better second season but still wasn't a huge factor in the passing game. He had 49 receptions for 518 yards and four touchdowns. He did set a career high in receptions but his yardage and touchdown totals regressed from year one. The Commanders had erratic quarterback play, though, which didn't help matters for Dotson and the entire offense. He should continue to play a big role in the offense, starting opposite Terry McLaurin. Dotson is an explosive player that does well at all levels. He can turn a short pass into a big play or just run past defenders to make a big play down the field. He is a pretty complete package. He lacks a little strength, so injury is a concern, especially after missing some time his rookie season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Dotson can rebound some from last year and post better numbers. We still would consider him a low-end No. 3 or 4 fantasy receiver, though. He is going to be capable of some big games but likely be really mediocre in others. Dotson can get around 70 receptions for 900 yards and six or so touchdowns.

RotoBaller's Outlook

After an impressive rookie season in 2022, Washington Commanders wide receiverJahan Dotsonwas epically disappointing in 2023 -; failing to surpass his yardage and touchdown total from his promising rookie year. Unfortunately, the emergence ofCurtis Samuelas a reliable short-game target for second-year quarterbackSam Howellquelled what might have been a breakout season for Dotson last year. Samuel is gone, however -; shipped off to Buffalo -; and Dotson again projects as the WR2 for the Commanders. With new rookie signal-callerJayden Danielsat the helm, this offense could prove to be a valuable -; unexpected -; source of fantasy output. However,Dotson has significant target competition withTerry McLaurin-; a staple in the offense -; and newly acquired teammatesLuke McCaffreyandAustin Ekeler. It's hard to predict consistent volume for Dotson with a rookie QB and many talented mouths to feed. Still, he should certainly be on our radar at his measly price of WR63 (#152 overall), which aligns with his RotoBaller WR59 ranking. Dotson is absolutely worth a flyer at this ADP, considering he was regularly taken between Rounds 6-9 last year.

Player Notes
Jul 3 6:50pm CT

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson has raised eyebrows this spring as he hopes to have a big bounce-back season. According to John Keim of ESPN the Penn State product has looked quite well against press coverage, which was an area he struggled in last season. Dotson caught seven scores in his rookie campaign in 2022 and gained 20 or more yards on 28.6% of his catchers. However, he experienced a significant sophomore slump where he caught only four touchdowns and gained 20 or more yards on a much lower 10.2% mark. In addition, his average air yards per target dropped from 14.35 in his first season to 9.25 last fall. Wide receivers coach Bobby Engram has also expressed the importance of improving his press releases, which will, in turn, get him downfield and provide him with more opportunities to make a big play. The 24-year-old currently sits with an ADP of 154.6 in standard leagues, but he could be a steal as the newly revamped Washington offense with Jayden Daniels at the helm can get Dotson's career back on track.
