Commanders trade WR Jahan Dotson for draft picks

Aug 22, 2024

A rare in-division trade: Washington is sending former first-round pick Jahan Dotson and a fifth-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks.

Related Players: Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown, Johnny Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

On paper, Dotson is now downgraded from a team's WR2 to a WR3, though we could see a similar amount of spike weeks in the Eagles passing attack.

One of McCaffrey or Brown should now have a shot at lining up in 2WR sets, which makes them interesting late-round dart throws in drafts. Zach Ertz and Ben Sinnott also both get slight boosts, as they may be more involved in the receiving game, while rookie Johnny Wilson's bid for a WR3 designation definitely seems out the window.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins misses Wednesday practice

Tee Higgins (hamstring) in street clothes today as #Bengals come out for practice.

Ja’Marr Chase out here all normal.

Burrow wearing a sweatband in his right wrist today (not making this a thing, merely documenting). Browning has a sweatband on his left wrist.

Related Players: Andrei Iosivas, Charlie Jones, Trenton Irwin

Fantasy Impact:

Iosivas was pegged for more work last week, but his team-leading 35 routes led to a 3-26-0 stat line. That should look better against the Chiefs, but is probably still not worth serious fantasy consideration. Higgins, on the other hand, would be a fringe WR3/4 if he ends up suiting up.

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski ruled out TE David Njoku for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Jordan Akins

Fantasy Impact:

Bad look for the Browns offense, that can't use anymore distractions right now. Akins shouldn't be in streaming consideration unless you're in a very deep league.

The Steelers are planning to start QB Justin Fields vs the Broncos

Related Players: Russell Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Denver isn't the best matchup for quarterbacks, but we know what Fields can do with his legs when given the opportunity, so he is a fringe QB1 on the week for those in need.
