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 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.
Eagles WR Johnny Wilson has had a strong start to training camp and is making a run at the No. 3 WR job, according to The Athletic's Brooks Kubena. Wilson has started getting first-team reps, while WR Parris Campbell is sidelined with an injury.
The Eagles selected Florida State WR Johnny Wilson in Round 6 of the NFL Draft. Wilson started out as an Arizona State Sun Devil, recruited by current Raiders HC Antonio Pierce. But the four-star California native would require patience before making his mark. 2020 turned up a pandemic-shortened season. Then in 2021, Wilson missed seven games with a hamstring. His fortunes changed in 2022 following a move to Florida State. The 6’6, 231-pounder broke through with 43-898-5 in 13 games. That’s 20.9 yards per catch – plus an eye-popping 3.36 yards per route run. Wilson’s production predictably dipped in 2023 (41-617-2). FSU welcomed in transfer WR Keon Coleman, while Wilson missed three games with an injury. Despite the up-and-down college career, the 23-year-old has a chance to stick as an outside WR in the pros. He’s a rare athlete at his size, and he proved it at the Combine with a 9.70 Relative Athletic Score. His 84.5-inch wingspan is simply enormous. This isn’t a great spot for Wilson’s dynasty value, though. The Eagles have WR A.J. Brown signed through 2029 and WR DeVonta Smith through 2028.
