Moore: Eagles WR Jahan Dotson will be 'heavily involved'

Sep 03, 2024

Jahan Dotson has not been with the Eagles for very long, but he’s made a positive impression on the team’s offensive coordinator.

In his Monday press conference, Kellen Moore said the team was really excited to have the opportunity to add the third-year receiver.

Moore said, "...he’ll be certainly a nice aspect of this thing, and he’ll be heavily involved.”

Fantasy Impact:

Moore added via the story that Dotson will need to keep growing and learning offense, but then did add that he'll be heavily involved. So while it may take some time, the Eagles are at least saying they expect Dotson to be a big part of things. Moore is obviously a new offensive coordinator, but over the last several years, the Eagles WR3 hasn't been fantasy relevant, mostly because of having Brown and Smith and Goedert at TE. The team added Saquon Barkley at RB and he's also expected to be heavily involved in the passing game so there seem to be a lot of mouths to feed in this offense.

Justin Jefferson (quad) considered “day to day”

39 minutes ago

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is considered “day to day” after suffering a quadricep contusion during Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact:

Jefferson doesn’t seem overly concerned about the injury. “I’m not seriously injured,” Jefferson told the media after the game. Jefferson dealt with a hamstring injury last season but this sounds like it will be a minor issue. Jefferson believes he’ll be ready to go for Week 3 against the Texans.

Hollywood Brown not expected to play in regular season

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown is not expected to play during the regular season due to his shoulder injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown needs surgery on his shoulder. He was already placed on injured reserve and now his season ends before even taking a regular season snap with the Chiefs. This should means plenty of deep targets for rookie Xavier Worthy, as well as work in the run game, as we saw against the Ravens. Rashee Rice will gobble up targets as the main weapon for Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunate news for Hollywood.

A.J. Brown (hamstring) misses practices Saturday, questionable for Monday vs. Falcons

Eagles WR A.J. Brown did not practice Saturday due to a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact:

Brown began feeling tightness in his hamstring during practice Friday and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team would be “cautious” with him Saturday. So this could be a case of the Eagles just giving him some rest before Monday’s game. If Brown can’t go, Jahan Dotson could be in line for a bigger role Monday. If possible, have a backup option ready for Brown, such as Dotson if he’s available.
