News: 9 hours agoDotson is expected to assume a larger role in the Eagles' passing attack Monday against the Falcons with A.J. Brown (hamstring) downgraded to out, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Spin: Dotson logged 32 snaps behind Brown (72 snaps) and DeVonta Smith (76 snaps) in the Eagles' season-opening win over the Packers. According to the Eagles' official site, head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in Dotson's ability to take on more meaningful snaps in Brown's absence, with Sirianni noting that he's been pleased with how the wideout has looked in practices since being acquired from the Commanders on Aug. 22. After Smith and Dotson, the Eagles are left with Johnny Wilson (questionable, hamstring) and Britain Covey as depth options at receiver.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dotson was traded to the Eagles in August. The third-year receiver is coming off a rough 2023 campaign in Washington in which he surpassed 70 receiving yards in only one game -- Week 8 against the struggling Eagles secondary -- and that was the lone game in which he caught more than five passes. Dotson is only 24 years old and a former first-round pick, so a career revival is possible, but it may not happen any time soon as he settles in well behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in the pecking order in Philly. Dotson should only be added if one of the two starters goes down with an injury.
