2 years agoA protracted hamstring issue sidelined Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson from Weeks 5-9 in 2022. However, he also assembled encouraging results during several sequences of his rookie season and appears primed to reward Washington for selecting him with the 16th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft. Dotson secured a 93.4% snap share, averaged 5.0 targets/3.5 receptions/49.5 yards per game, and soared to second overall with three touchdowns in Weeks 1-2 before encountering his injury. He later reemerged to lead Washington in targets (35/7.0 per game) and targets per route run (29.9%) from Weeks 13-18, then paced the Commanders in targets (26/6.5 per game), receptions (16/4.0 per game), air yards (382), and yards per route run (2.48), from Weeks 15-18, while vaulting to 12th in receiving yards (290/72.5 per game), and third in receptions of 20+. Terry McLaurin should lead the Commanders in target share this season, although Dotson will operate as the team's WR2. Second-year signal-caller Sam Howell should spearhead Washington's aerial attack, while the transition from Scott Turner to Eric Bieniemy as offensive coordinator should be beneficial for Dotson. The convergence of his unquestioned talent and his pathway to targets have positioned him to deliver a breakout season, and he should also outperform his ADPs in best ball leagues (100/WR39) and dynasty startup leagues (70/WR30).--Phil Clark - RotoBaller
