Skins WR Josh Doctson expected to play on MNF

Sep 12, 2016

The Achilles injury that kept Redskins rookie Josh Doctson on the sidelines for most of the offseason improved enough over the last week that the receiver took part in multiple practices after sitting out all of training camp and the preseason. Now, it seems the injury might be healed to the point Doctson can play Monday night against the Steelers.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has reported that Docston will suit up for the game.

Fantasy Impact:

Overall, Doctson is probably a little behind so it's hard to imagine he'll have a huge role in Week 1, especially with DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. But it's a good sign he made it back and he'll likely become more involved as the season goes on.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
