BALLER MOVE: Consider In 16+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: A seven-touchdown rookie season is a distant memory for Jahan Dotson. The Commanders cut ties with their former first-round pick after two seasons. When they sent him to a division rival via trade, it told us all we needed to know about Dotson; they don't believe he's an asset in the NFL. Through three weeks with Philadelphia, it's proven to be true.
With A.J. Brown sidelined in Week 2, Dotson earned just one target. Primary punt returner Britain Covey, who had four catches in his NFL career entering this season, caught six passes against Atlanta.
In Week 3, Brown remained sidelined. Covey exited the game with a broken bone in his shoulder. A concussion forced DeVonta Smith to leave the game in the second half. Dotson finished with two catches for eight yards.
Dotson and Johnny Wilson are the only current healthy receivers on the active roster. Parris Campbell, who was called up from the practice squad on Sunday, will likely see the promotion again. But does it matter?
Nick Sirianni on injuries at WR: "We'll see how the week goes on. ...We'll plan for everything. I have a lot of faith in this room. ...We have Johnny (Wilson), Parris (Campbell), Jahan (Dotson). ...We have some practice squad guys who are working hard. ...I have a lot faith in…

The Eagles will rely on the legs of Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley on the ground and through the air, and tight end Dallas Goedert against Tampa Bay, should Smith and Brown sit out. Dotson can be ignored on the waiver wire outside the deepest leagues.
