Dynasty Rookie Report Card: Jahan Dotson and Kyle Philips

We examine two rookie receivers who were highly involved in their first NFL outings.

Jahan Dotson and Kyle Philips

Each week throughout the season, I’ll cover at least two rookies in the Rookie Report Card and try to always include the biggest performers from that particular week. On top of reviewing my expectations for each player coming into the league and how well he’s lived up to those expectations at the NFL level to this point, I’ll grade the player in three categories. Those categories are performance to date, rookie season potential and long-term upside.

The series continues as we take a look at wide receivers Jahan Dotson and Kyle Philips.

Jahan Dotson, WR WAS

Week one stats: Three receptions, 40 yards, two touchdowns (five targets), one carry, -10 rushing yards

Anybody who spent any time watching Dotson at Penn State knows two things for certain. First, he has intimidating speed. Second, for a guy who is only 5’-11”, 178 pounds, he is surprisingly good at high-pointing the football to make big plays down the field and in the red zone.

There are many young football players that test poorly at the combine and go on to have solid NFL careers. A less than optimal 40 YD isn’t the end of world especially concerning Kyle Phillips. He’s quick and not fast. Kyle’s smart and knows how to get open, something many more athletic WR’s never figure out. I am happy, I’m not the only one that saw great promise in Kyle Phillips and got him early off the waiver wire. I wouldn’t be surprised, health willing, that Phillips is a top 5 or 7 rookie WR by season’s end.
Nice article, Dan. Keep em’ comin’.

I took him in the second round because I only had 1 pick after the second half of the third round. Glad I did. In another, I got him with the 3.09 in a 12team rookie cause I had more picks but was still not messing around. And I’m so glad I did. Let someone else grab him in a non-ppr league and was claimed on waivers after week one. Also only 20 man roster, so not deep and I’m contending, top 3. Probably the fave.
