2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Dotson played 38 snaps and ran 20 routes, leading the two-man rotation with Chris Blair (9 snaps) for the outside spot opposite London. He drew a target on 25% of his routes, nearly matching London’s 24%. Kyle Pitts played 55% of snaps for a second straight week but drew a target on more than 20% of his routes for the fifth straight game. Zachariah Branch’s hamstring injury left Olamide Zaccheaus as the third WR, and Beaux Collins (hip) remains on IR.
Dotson finished outside the top-50 WRs in Week 7. He was the WR12 in Week 6 with 3 catches for 87 yards and a TD, and the WR47 in Week 5. His 47.5 yards per catch this week is impossible to sustain, and he has been boom-or-bust all season.
Week 9 brings Cincinnati, which allows the 17th-most fantasy points to WRs and ranked 13th in pass defense power heading into Week 8. Kansas City follows in Week 10, allowing the third-fewest points to WRs and ranking 10th in pass defense power. Dotson is a WR5 in deep leagues.
