3. Jahan Dotson

After being acquired from the Washington Commanders during the preseason, the young wide receiver has yet to make a huge impact with the Eagles this season.

Eagles fans were excited to see Howie Roseman go and address the WR3 spot, which was an issue last season. 

The Eagles tried to fix the situation, signing Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheus, but they put up pedestrian numbers. With the addition of Dotson, fans hoped that he could help stretch the field and be a playmaker in Kellen Moore’s offense. 

However, that hasn’t been the case through the first eight weeks of the regular season. Dotson only has six receptions (13 targets) for 35 yards. His statline is a noticeable difference from what the former Penn State star did in his first two years with the Commanders.

Nonetheless, one thing to remember is Dotson played the WR2 role next to Terry McLaurin. In Philadelphia, he’s taking a backseat behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert (when healthy) in the passing game.

It would be shocking to see the Eagles part ways with Dotson at the end of this season as they gave up a 2025 third-round pick. But they want him to play like the wide receiver they saw in Washington and Penn State.
