As much as we like McLaurin and hope he’s okay this season, we love to dream about the opportunities a lingering toe injury would create for Dotson. A first-round pick for Washington last year, Dotson excited fantasy players with his speed, route-running, competitive hands and overall athleticism. He had some ups and downs as a rookie, but also showed signs of being the versatile fantasy gem he was at Penn State.
Davis is a player I love in best balls, but he has shown over and over that he’s not an every week fantasy starter. He’s boom or bust in a high-scoring offense. He led the league in targeted air yards in 2022 , but has posted only one 100+ yard game in each of his three seasons, despite several double-digit target opportunities.Shakir was a trendy sleeper pick a few weeks ago, and I count myself among those who got excited for the second-year receiver to emerge as the No. 2 behind.
