  Jets | Josh Doctson put on reserve list    Thu Aug 6, 05:28 PM

Updating a previous story, New York Jets WR Josh Doctson was placed on the Reserve/Opt-Out list Thursday, Aug. 6.

Footballguys view: Doctson was a first-round pick for Washington in the 2016 NFL draft but has bounced around the league. He played one game for the Vikings in 2019 and was no lock for the 53-man roster with the Jets.

  Vikings | Josh Doctson's activation not set    Mon Nov 4, 03:11 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Josh Doctson (hamstring) will be evaluated throughout the week before the team can determine if he'll be activated from the Reserve/Injured list in time for the Week 10 game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to head coach Mike Zimmer Monday, Nov. 4.

Footballguys view: With Adam Thielen banged up, the Vikings are looking for reinforcements at the position. Doctson has experience catching passes from QB Kirk Cousins for their days playing together in Washington. We'll see how Doctson is worked into the mix at receiver upon his return...whenever that is.

  Vikings | Josh Doctson targets Week 10    Wed Oct 30, 11:10 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Josh Doctson (hamstring) is targeting a Week 10 return against the Dallas Cowboys, which is when he is eligible to come back from the Reserve/Injured list.

Footballguys view: We can't imagine Doctson having a ton of fantasy value when he returns. He's competing for the No. 3 or No. 4 receiving job with the Vikings behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. The Vikings like to run the ball a lot and that doesn't leave much for wide receivers further down the depth chart.

  Vikings | Josh Doctson designated to return    Wed Oct 30, 10:15 AM

Minnesota Vikings WR Josh Doctson (hamstring) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Oct. 30, and he'll begin practicing.

Footballguys view: Doctson can work for snaps behind Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. The Vikings have Olabisi Johnson as a No. 3 receiver, and it may be difficult for Doctson to beat him out for snaps/routes/targets. Doctson does have chemistry with QB Kirk Cousins as they spent two years playing together for Washington.

  Vikings | Week 1 Minnesota Vikings inactives    Sun Sep 8, 11:33 AM

The Minnesota Vikings have declared DL Armon Watts, CB Mike Hughes, DE Jalyn Holmes, TE Tyler Conklin, OG Dru Samia, WR Josh Doctson and OL Olisaemeka Udoh inactive for Week 1.

Footballguys view: Doctson isn't ready to play a backup role on the outside yet. Chad Beebe is the clear #3 receiver for now.

  Vikings | Minnesota inks Josh Doctson    Mon Sep 2, 03:45 PM

Free-agent WR Josh Doctson (Redskins) signed a one-year undisclosed contract with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, Sept. 2.

Footballguys view: Even though he found a new home rather quickly after being released by Washington, we don't think Doctson makes a huge impact with the Vikings. Doctson did play with Kirk Cousins in Washington, but he's buried on the depth chart behind guys like Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, Chad Beebe and Olabasi Johnson.

  Redskins | Josh Doctson expects to test free agency    Tue Jul 2, 07:06 PM

Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson said he expects to test the free-agent market next year after the team declined the former first-rounder's fifth-year contract option. 'I think I'm hitting free agency next year. I won't be the first, won't be the last,' Doctson said. 'It's nothing to be sad about, be mad about. Someone wants you there, so it's all love.'

Footballguys view: Doctson's pro career has not gone as planned, mainly due to injuries and inconsistencies. The 26-year-old will play out the 2019 season on a cap hit just under $3.2 million. Last year, with Washington desperately needing playmakers, he caught just 44 passes for 532 yards and two scores. Projecting him for similar numbers this year is fair.

  Redskins | Josh Doctson's option to be declined    Wed May 1, 05:08 PM

Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson has been informed that his fifth-year option will not be exercised this offseason, according to sources.

Footballguys view: No surprise here. Doctson has struggled to stay healthy and impress during his pro career. He had his best season in the NFL last year, snaring 44 catches for 532 receiving yards. Doctson is not the type of dominant playmaker he was in college at TCU (the reason why Washington made him a first-round pick). He's set to be a free agent in 2020.

Washington Redskins WR Josh Doctson (concussion) was placed in the league's concussion protocol Monday, Dec. 10.

Footballguys view: Doctson will have to obviously clear the protocol before he's back out there on the field. Washington's season has quickly gone in the tank, but Doctson has been a bit of a bright spot in recent weeks...and he's coming off a four-catch, 84-yard performance against the Giants.
