The 2022 fantasy soccer season is formally underway, and with a slew of Week 1 accidents, your waiver wire is about to be a hotbed of motion.
Until you truly drafted Dak Prescott, you may in all probability bypass the quarterback place utterly and focus your consideration on the opposite positions. Buying operating backs could be a daunting job, however there may be undoubtedly some worth available on the broad receiver place, and it at the moment resides in Washington the place receivers Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson go from “don't draft” standing to “must-own” in fantasy.
Although one week is hardly sufficient of a pattern measurement to judge total efficiency, the Week 1 goal distribution amongst the receivers was very telling.
Samuel, who has lengthy been a favourite asset of coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Scott Turner, led the crew with 11 targets whereas Dotson noticed 5. Professional-Bowl broad receiver Terry McLaurin noticed simply 4 targets all recreation.
When Rivera and Turner had Samuel in Carolina, they used him as an early model of the wide-back, a job Deebo Samuel turned mainstream final 12 months. When Samuel landed in Washington, he had the same recreation plan that was thwarted by his damage historical past. Now wholesome, Samuel ought to proceed to see a high-level position that features each dashing and receiving work, as evidenced by his 4 carries Sunday.
Although Samuel noticed extra motion, Dotson is probably going to attract extra consideration in your waiver wire. Everybody loves rookies, however a rookie who catches two touchdowns in Week 1? That’s fantasy gold.
Although he's anticipated to take a seat behind McLaurin, Samuel and even tight finish Logan Thomas in goal share, Dotson has now confirmed that he could be each a deep risk and a vertical one. Even at 5-foot-11, Dotson proved he can combat for the bounce balls with opposing cornerbacks and will flip into a robust red-zone asset.
Your precedence needs to be Samuel, however he additionally comes with a bit extra danger for damage. Dotson ought to nonetheless show to be a viable asset for fantasy, however you shouldn’t count on a rise in goal share except Samuel or McLaurin will get damage. Both manner, it’s time to get up and cease sleeping on the Commanders wideouts.
