The Atlanta Falcons selected Georgia WR Zachariah Branch in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Branch arrived as a blue-chip prospect. A five-star track and football standout from Las Vegas, he committed to USC in 2023 and made an early impact as a returner with 2 TDs. He also out-produced Makai Lemon (31 catches to 6). Then in 2024, Lemon topped Branch in catches, yards, and TDs. Branch transferred to Georgia in 2025 and broke out as the Bulldogs’ most productive receiver, leading the team with 81 receptions and 811 receiving yards. Georgia manufactured much of that production via short throws, with 54.3% of his catches, 38.6% of his yards, and 50% of his TDs coming via screens. Removing screens, Branch recorded an underwhelming 2.01 yards per route run. Despite excellent long speed and burst, Branch’s thin route tree remains concerning for his dynasty outlook.

Former Eagles WR Jahan Dotson is joining the Falcons on a two-year deal worth $15 million. The agreement includes $10 million fully guaranteed, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

TE Dallas Goedert led the Eagles with seven targets in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys and posted a 7-44 receiving line. He caught three more passes than his nearest teammate, accounting for these market shares:

• 30.4% of targets
• 36.8% of receptions
• 28.9% of receiving yards

WR Jahan Dotson led the team in receiving yards (59), while RB Saquon Barkley ranked second in targets (five) and receptions (4).

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 14. WR Johnny Wilson (hamstring) is also out today, leaving Philadelphia thin at WR. It’ll be Jahan Dotson, Britain Covey, Parris Campbell, and Ainias Smith behind A.J. Brown. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert should soak up a ton of Eagles targets today.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game against the Rams after missing practice all week. He played through a hamstring issue in Week 11 but evidently had a setback at some point. Smith’s absence will mean more snaps for some combination of WRs Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, and Ainias Smith. But targets figure to consolidate even more around WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith is unlikely to clear protocol in time for this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. And Brown looks no better than 50/50 to make it back for that one. If both guys are out, Philadelphia would be down to WRs Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson on the active roster. WR Parris Campbell was elevated from the practice squad for last week's game and would likely play again on Sunday. RB Saquon Barkley and TE Dallas Goedert would be the focal points of the offense.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith left in the fourth quarter of the game at New Orleans with a concussion. That obviously means he'll miss the rest of the game and will then need to pass through the league protocol before returning.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints after missing practice all week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 4. WR Jahan Dotson registered an 86% route rate with Brown out last week but saw just one target. He can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups.

Eagles WR Jahan Dotson did -- according to the numbers -- run as the No. 2 WR in A.J. Brown's absence for Monday night's loss to the Falcons. But you wouldn't have had an easy time finding him. Despite running a route on 30 of QB Jalen Hurts' 35 drobacks (85.7%), Dotson drew just 1 target among 30 pass attempts. That trailed DeVonta Smith's team-leading total by nine, fell four short of RB Saquon Barkley, and even checked in five short of No. 3 WR Britain Covey.

The Eagles have downgraded WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) to out for Monday night's game against the Falcons. Brown, of course, has been dealing with an injury that popped up during the practice week. His absence elevates Jahan Dotson to the No. 2 WR spot and makes him a decent fill-in option. TE Dallas Goedert also could benefit on the target-share front.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown missed practice Saturday after experiencing hamstring tightness in Friday's workout. The team has listed him as questionable for Monday night's game against the Falcons.

The Commanders have agreed to trade WR Jahan Dotson to the Eagles. They're sending Dotson plus a fifth-round pick to their division rival for a third-round pick and two seventh-rounders -- all in the 2025 draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and other reports.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn suggested multiple times this past week that there's an ongoing competition for the team's No. 2 and No. 3 WR spots. After Saturday night's preseason game, Quinn said that it might wind up being a rotation with WRs Jahan Dotson, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus.
