Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Two catches in Week 9 loss
Dotson caught two passes for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Bengals.
Despite playing 84 percent of the offensive snaps, Dotson's two targets were a distant sixth on the team against Cincinnati. He has 16 catches for 33 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets through nine games this season and isn't a particularly exciting fantasy option fighting for scraps behind Drake London, Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts in Atlanta.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Secures two catches in loss
Dotson caught two of five targets for 95 yards during Sunday's 16-0 loss to Tampa Bay.
Dotson and the rest of the Falcons offense were held in check for the majority of Sunday's loss. The wide receiver did provide Atlanta's biggest highlight play of the day, connecting with quarterback Michael Penix for a 76-yard gain on the team's final possession of the day in the fourth quarter. Dotson's 95 yards were a season high, and he has now reeled in 14 of 31 targets for 337 yards and two touchdowns over eight contests to open the 2026 regular season.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Only one catch in Week 7 victory
Dotson caught one pass on three targets for six yards during Sundays' 29-20 win over San Francisco.
Dotson's lone catch came late in the second quarter as part of a 14-play, 56-yard drive that ended with a 33-yard field goal by Nick Folk as time expired. Dotson also drew a defensive pass interference penalty late in the third quarter, but it was an otherwise quiet night for the fifth-year pro, whose 38 offensive snaps were second-most among Falcons wide receivers behind Drake London (55). Dotson has two catches or fewer in six of the first seven games of the regular season and has a 12-242-2 receiving line on 26 targets this year. The Falcons hit the road in Week 8 for an NFC South tilt against the Buccaneers, whose defense stifled Panthers QB Bryce Young in a Week 7 win for Tampa Bay.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Reaches end zone in defeat
Dotson caught three of five targets for 87 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-23 loss to Chicago.
Dotson led the team in receiving yards, and his most notable moment of the game came in the second quarter when he connected with quarterback Michael Penix for a 13-yard touchdown. The wide receiver has now reeled in multiple passes in three straight contests, exceeding 50 receiving yards in each of those games, and he appears to have distanced himself as the team's No. 2 option behind Drake London at his position.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Reels in 36-yard catch in OT loss
Dotson caught two of four passes for 54 yards during the Falcons' 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Dotson was responsible for the Falcons' second-longest play of the game, when he connected with Michael Penix (ribs) on a 36-yard pass late in the second quarter that led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Penix to Kyle Pitts three players later. Dotson finished as the Falcons' second-leading receiver behind Drake London (118), though Dotson's four targets were fourth-most on Atlanta behind London (11), Bijan Robinson (seven) and Pitts (six). Dotson is up to an 8-149-1 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games, although the scoring ceilings for the Falcons pass catchers would be lower if Tua Tagovailoa is under center instead of Penix for Week 6 against the Bears on Oct. 18.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Hauls in long TD pass vs. New Orleans
Dotson caught two of three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown during the Falcons' 45-24 win over the Saints on Monday.
Falcons running backs Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson were responsible for five of the team's six offensive touchdowns during Monday's blowout win, with the duo combining for 207 yards on 33 carries. Dotson was the only pass catcher to get in on the scoring action, with the fifth-year wideout connecting with Michael Penix on a 31-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to extend Atlanta's lead to 38-17. It was Dotson's first touchdown since Week 8 of the 2025 season, and he's up to a 6-95-1 receiving line (on 14 targets) through the first four games of the 2026 regular season. Up next for the Falcons is a Week 5 home tilt against the Ravens, whose secondary could be without veteran outside cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf).

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Just one catch in TNF victory
Dotson caught one pass on three targets for 11 yards during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.
Dotson's three targets from Michael Penix were actually second-most on the Falcons behind Drake London (10), with Dotson finishing tied for the third-most receiving yards on the team. He's played over 60 percent of offensive snaps in each of the first three games of the regular season but has a 4-41-0 receiving line (on 11 targets) to show for it. That said, Dotson's scoring floor could steadily increase as the season progresses and Penix gets more reps under his belt. The Falcons will stay on the road for a Week 4 NFC South tilt against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Two catches in blowout loss
Dotson caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.
Dotson was on the field for 52 of the team's 69 offensive snaps, but it didn't really matter much as the Falcons put together another putrid offensive performance. The wide receiver will look to be more productive with Michael Penix (knee) making his return to action Thursday night against the Packers.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Catches one pass in Week 1
Dotson caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Atlanta's 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Dotson acted as the clear WR2 behind Drake London, out-snapping rookie Zachariah Branch 38 to 18. Olamide Zaccheaus also played 18 offensive snaps. Dotson ran 19 routes to Zaccheaus' nine and Branch's six. None of these three figure to have any consistent fantasy viability as long as all three of London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson are healthy.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Three receptions in preseason finale
Dotson caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Friday's 17-12 preseason win over the Dolphins.
Dotson accounted for three of Tua Tagovailoa's seven completions while Atlanta's starters were in the game, with three going to TE Kyle Pitts and one going to RB Brian Robinson. Offensive stars Bijan Robinson and Drake London sat out the preseason finale, but Dotson's involvement Friday suggests the 2022 first-round pick of the Commanders is positioned as the Falcons' No. 2 wideout behind London heading into the regular season.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Working as starter
Dotson is playing with Atlanta's first-team offense at training camp, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dotson has featured with the starters consistently, working alongside Drake London while Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch rotate in. In the process, McFadden notes that 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.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: 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.
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 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.
