Dotson secured 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards across 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024. He also rushed once for 13 yards.
Analysis
Dotson played a sizeable 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working in a No. 3 receiver role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. His most impactful game of the season came during the Eagles' win over Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, with two catches for 42 yards on three targets. The 2022 first-round pick looks set to reprise a similar role for the 2025 season, though with all of Brown, Smith, running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Dallas Goedert pushing for opportunities on offense, he seems likely to again end up on the outside looking in for fantasy purposes.
Dotson reached the end zone for the first time as an Eagle in Sunday's wild-card win over the Packers, finishing with one catch for an 11-yard score.
Analysis
The Eagles got off to a quick start in their 22-10 win, forcing a fumble on the opening kickoff and scoring just three plays later on second-and-9 from the 11. Jalen Hurts had nearly seven seconds in the pocket and found Dotson wide open at the back of the end zone for the wideout's first score since Week 11 of the 2023 season. The rest of the game was more typical for Dotson's time in Philadelphia, as he received just one more target and did not record a reception.
Dotson caught seven of 11 targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.
Analysis
Working as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were rested ahead of the playoffs, Dotson had by far his best game of the year and his most productive day since he erupted for an 8-108-1 line in Week 8 last season against Philly as a member of the Commanders. Dotson hadn't even caught a pass since Week 14 prior to his Week 18 breakout, however, and he'll likely return to being an afterthought in the Eagles' passing game next weekend in the wild-card round against the Packers.
Dotson was not targeted a single time in Sunday's 41-7 blowout win over the Cowboys.
Analysis
Dotson has now gone without a catch in three straight contests and has earned a total of just one target over that stretch. His role could expand in Week 18 if the Eagles rest their starters with nothing left to play for, but he'll need five catches to even average one reception per game for the season. He has 12 receptions in 16 contests thus far.
Dotson finished with zero catches for the second straight week Sunday against the Commanders.
Analysis
Dotson's two chances at a revenge game this season have led to a combined one catch for eight yards. To be fair to Dotson, the Eagles leaned heavily on the run Sunday after Jalen Hurts exited early with a concussion, completing a total of just 15 passes. All but one of those went to A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.
Dotson finished with zero receptions on one target in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers.
Analysis
The game ended a streak of six straight contests in which Dotson recorded exactly one catch. The Eagles' passing game was the primary story surrounding the team during the week, and Jalen Hurts responded with a strong performance, going 25-of-32 for 290 yards and two touchdowns, but as usual, nearly all of his looks went to his top two wideouts. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each saw double-digit targets, while the rest of the team combined for just eight.
Dotson caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers.
Analysis
Week 14 marked the sixth straight game in which Dotson has caught just one pass. The third-year wideout played 24 of the Eagles 58 offensive snaps, the lowest snap share of any Philadelphia wide receiver in the contest behind A.J. Brown (55), DeVonta Smith (52) and Johnny Wilson (29). With such limited playing time in a run-heavy offensive scheme, Dotson remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Steelers.
Dotson caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens.
Analysis
Even with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) out of action, Dotson failed to make much of an impact, finishing with precisely one catch for the fifth straight game. The Eagles found more success on the ground than through the air, completing just 11 passes on the day.
Dotson caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Analysis
Dotson has now caught exactly one pass in four straight games. His yardage on his lone reception has decreased each week, going from 36 to 27 to eight to four. Expect a single reception for roughly one yard next week if the pattern continues.
