Jahan Dotson

Curtis Samuel is a free agent and could leave in free agency. This is important, because it suggests that we could have live for Jahan Dotson in Year 3. Dotson broke out as a rookie, but was a TOTAL BUST in 2023. And he ran all the routes you could possibly ask for. Garrett Wilson and teammate Terry McLaurin were the only guys who ran more routes than Dotson did in 2023. He was brutally inefficient - as was the entire Commanders passing game that was more volume over efficiency - finishing bottom-10 in yards per route run. But Samuel missed or played very little in 3 games in 2023 - Weeks 8,9, and 11. These were by FAR Dotson's best games. 15.2 points per game with a TD scored in all 3 contests. Still was narrowly out targeted by McLaurin as the No. 2 WR. McLaurin and Dotson need a C.J. Stroud-esque rookie QB impact for them to take any leap for fantasy football. Don't hold your breath.

Jahan Dotson caught two of his three targets for 17 yards in a 38-10 loss to the Cowboys in Week 18.

Fantasy Impact

Dotson capped off a disappointing sophomore season with yet another slow outing. The 2022 first-round pick finishes the season with just 49 catches for 518 yards and four touchdowns. He will hope to bounce back in 2024 with what is likely to be a new quarterback for the Commanders.
