Dotson (ADP: Undrafted) joined the Falcons on a two-year, $15 million deal in the offseason, signaling the team's confidence in his ability to compete for the #2 wide receiver role.

2022 first-round WR signed with Atlanta Falcons after four years with Washington and Philadelphia; career hampered by injuries as rookie and limited opportunity behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philly (37 receptions, 478 yards, 1 TD on 69 targets over two seasons). Now positioned to carve out expanded role with Falcons; depth chart at wideout behind Drake London is wide open, and Dotson's primary competition (Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch) fit naturally in the slot, positioning Dotson to cement himself on the boundary opposite London with a strong training camp. Dotson expressed confidence in his ability to reach elite status, stating 'I want to be one of the greatest' and 'I want to be one of the best in the league,' emphasizing that he has been 'holding all this in the last couple of years' and is ready to showcase his talent under Kevin Stefanski's system, suggesting significant upside potential after career highs of 7 TDs and 523 yards as a rookie in 2021.

He cited opportunity scarcity in Philadelphia ('I didn't really have that opportunity the past couple years') and expressed confidence in his ability to produce when given volume: 'I 100 percent believe in my talent and ability to make plays in this league. It's just about getting the opportunity to do so.'
