Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Reels in 36-yard catch in OT loss
Dotson caught two of four passes for 54 yards during the Falcons' 30-23 overtime loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Dotson was responsible for the Falcons' second-longest play of the game, when he connected with Michael Penix (ribs) on a 36-yard pass late in the second quarter that led to a five-yard touchdown pass from Penix to Kyle Pitts three players later. Dotson finished as the Falcons' second-leading receiver behind Drake London (118), though Dotson's four targets were fourth-most on Atlanta behind London (11), Bijan Robinson (seven) and Pitts (six). Dotson is up to an 8-149-1 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games, although the scoring ceilings for the Falcons pass catchers would be lower if Tua Tagovailoa is under center instead of Penix for Week 6 against the Bears on Oct. 18.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Hauls in long TD pass vs. New Orleans
Dotson caught two of three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown during the Falcons' 45-24 win over the Saints on Monday.
Falcons running backs Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson were responsible for five of the team's six offensive touchdowns during Monday's blowout win, with the duo combining for 207 yards on 33 carries. Dotson was the only pass catcher to get in on the scoring action, with the fifth-year wideout connecting with Michael Penix on a 31-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter to extend Atlanta's lead to 38-17. It was Dotson's first touchdown since Week 8 of the 2025 season, and he's up to a 6-95-1 receiving line (on 14 targets) through the first four games of the 2026 regular season. Up next for the Falcons is a Week 5 home tilt against the Ravens, whose secondary could be without veteran outside cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf).

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Just one catch in TNF victory
Dotson caught one pass on three targets for 11 yards during the Falcons' 35-14 win over the Packers on Thursday.
Dotson's three targets from Michael Penix were actually second-most on the Falcons behind Drake London (10), with Dotson finishing tied for the third-most receiving yards on the team. He's played over 60 percent of offensive snaps in each of the first three games of the regular season but has a 4-41-0 receiving line (on 11 targets) to show for it. That said, Dotson's scoring floor could steadily increase as the season progresses and Penix gets more reps under his belt. The Falcons will stay on the road for a Week 4 NFC South tilt against the Saints on Monday, Oct. 5.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Two catches in blowout loss
Dotson caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.
Dotson was on the field for 52 of the team's 69 offensive snaps, but it didn't really matter much as the Falcons put together another putrid offensive performance. The wide receiver will look to be more productive with Michael Penix (knee) making his return to action Thursday night against the Packers.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Catches one pass in Week 1
Dotson caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Atlanta's 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Dotson acted as the clear WR2 behind Drake London, out-snapping rookie Zachariah Branch 38 to 18. Olamide Zaccheaus also played 18 offensive snaps. Dotson ran 19 routes to Zaccheaus' nine and Branch's six. None of these three figure to have any consistent fantasy viability as long as all three of London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson are healthy.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Three receptions in preseason finale
Dotson caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in Friday's 17-12 preseason win over the Dolphins.
Dotson accounted for three of Tua Tagovailoa's seven completions while Atlanta's starters were in the game, with three going to TE Kyle Pitts and one going to RB Brian Robinson. Offensive stars Bijan Robinson and Drake London sat out the preseason finale, but Dotson's involvement Friday suggests the 2022 first-round pick of the Commanders is positioned as the Falcons' No. 2 wideout behind London heading into the regular season.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Working as starter
Dotson is playing with Atlanta's first-team offense at training camp, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dotson has featured with the starters consistently, working alongside Drake London while Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch rotate in. In the process, McFadden notes that Dotson had a nice gain on a crossing route early in the full-team period of Thursday's practice. The 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has recorded 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns through four NFL regular seasons split between Washington and Philadelphia, with seven of those scores coming in Dotson's rookie campaign.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Poised to compete for starting role
Dotson is set to compete for slotting in a "wide open" Atlanta wideout depth chart behind Drake London, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
Dotson had some solid stretches early in his career with Washington, but his production dropped dramatically after he was traded to the Eagles ahead of the 2024 season. Of course, Philadelphia had the stud wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith hogging most of Jalen Hurts' targets and consequently impeding Dotson's opportunities. Things are a bit different for the Penn State product after he signed with Atlanta in early March -- though London (undisclosed) is the team's clear alpha at wideout, the No. 2 slot in the WR pecking order is probably going to come down to whoever wins the competition between Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and third-round rookie Zachariah Branch. With that said, the Falcons will also feature TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson as key components of their air game, so even if Dotson emerges with a starting role, he figures to be behind multiple players in terms of distribution of targets.

Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Signing with Falcons
Dotson and the Falcons have reached agreement on a two-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schefter reports it as a two-year, $15 million deal, including $10 million guaranteed at signing. The contract suggests Dotson will compete for a starting job, after he spent two seasons in Philadelphia as a lightly targeted No. 3 WR (37 catches in 34 regular-season games) behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. A 2022 first-round pick, Dotson will turn 26 in March and now figures to compete with fellow free-agent signing Olamide Zaccheaus for playing time alongside No. 1 receiver Drake London.

Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Finishes season with 18 catches
Dotson finished his second season with the Eagles with a total of 18 receptions for 262 yards and one touchdown in 17 regular-season games.
Dotson's numbers were very similar to last year's 19 catches for 216 yards and zero scores, a big step down from his average of 42 catches for 520.5 yards and 5.5 touchdowns in his first two years in the league with Washington. If he remains stuck behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia again next season, expect similar production.
