Favorite futures for 2023
Jahan Dotson over 775.5 receiving yards (-115)
No one is anticipating efficiency from Sam Howell. But Washington figures to be playing from behind (O/U 6.5 regular-season wins), so the volume should be there for Dotson, who is expected to fill the team's No. 2 WR role opposite Terry McLaurin. Additionally, Dotson has some of the best hands in the league, regularly winning in contested situations. That skill figures to buoy his conversion rate, allowing him an average of at least four catches per week. Noting Dotson's 4.4 speed and elusiveness in space, he should manage a YPR of at least 13.5, helping him to comfortably clear 800 receiving yards on the season. -- Liz Loza
