Nathan Jahnke· Aug 15, 2026
An unsigned PFF fantasy recap of preseason usage that projects depth-chart roles for several teams — Dotson as Atlanta's No. 2 receiver, Breece Hall as the Jets' clear lead back with high-end RB2 value, Omar Cooper Jr. fourth in New York's receiver room, and Miami's Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington atop the Dolphins' wideout depth chart.
“Hall enters the season as a high-end RB2 with a path to RB1 production if the Jets' offense exceeds expectations.”
