Dotson is in position for a nearly every-down role to start the season, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic.
The Commanders played their starters for chunks of the first two preseason games, and it was consistently Dotson running alongside Terry McLaurin, with Curtis Samuel then coming on as the third receiver. Offensive coordinator Scott Turner uses three-wide formations a lot however, and may do so even more this year given the state of the team's depth chart at tight end. While new quarterback Carson Wentz comes with his own question marks, Dotson should run plenty of routes (if nothing else) when the Commanders open their season against the Jaguars.
