Must-Have Dynasty Startup Targets
Here are the fantasy football players I’m targeting in my dynasty startup drafts.
The surface stats from Dotson’s rookie year aren’t particularly exciting: 35 catches for 523 yards. But Dotson scored seven touchdowns in 12 games and had five weeks in which he was a top-20 scorer at the WR position, even though Washington had a lackluster QB situation.
Dotson has 4.43 speed, is a good route runner, punches well above his 181-pound weight in contested-catch situations and is elusive after the catch. His credentials also include high draft capital – the Commanders took him 16th overall in the 2021 draft. Washington’s QB situation still isn’t great, but don’t fade Dotson based on his ecosystem; buy the talent. Target Dotson in the sixth round of 1QB startups or in the seventh round of superflex startups.
One word of caution before I give you the sales pitch on White: It’s possible the Buccaneers sign a veteran RB who would diminish White’s role — possibly Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott or Kareem Hunt. Even if that happens, White is still a worthwhile investment.
The 24-year-old White has a mature game. His prowess as a pass catcher and pass blocker earned him close to a 50/50 workload split with veteran Leonard Fournette by midseason. White caught 50-of-58 targets for 290 yards and two touchdowns last year. From Week 10 to Week 17, he was the RB20 in PPR fantasy points per game despite scoring only two touchdowns over that stretch. Regardless of whether the Bucs add another running back, White’s utility on the passing game is going to keep him prominently involved.
