2024 Fantasy Outlook
Undrafted in 2023 out of Northern Colorado, Dotson parlayed a strong preseason into a roster spot with the Chargers, but after seeing limited action through the first four weeks he was sent to the practice squad and never resurfaced. Dotson showed a well-rounded skill set in college that included some explosiveness as a kick returner, but a lack of standout athletic traits could limit his ability to contribute in the NFL. With new head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman installing a run-heavy scheme, another good showing in camp might bode well for Dotson's 2024 production. Read Past Outlooks
Lands in Atlanta
The Falcons signed Dotson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Northern Colorado product was added to the Falcons' practice squad in early December after failing to make the Chargers' 53-man roster before the regular season. Dotson appeared in four games with the Chargers in 2023, taking four carries for six yards across 34 total snaps (15 offensive and 19 on special teams). He's expected to compete for a reserve role in Atlanta's backfield as the team begins its offseason activities.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A multi-positional athlete during his collegiate career, Dotson operated at times as a slot receiver and running back while also fielding punts. The do-it-all player likely is on the outside looking in when it comes to one of the final roster spots available at running back for the Chargers, but his ability to play multiple positions could serve as a useful practice-squad candidate.
