Skins WR Josh Doctson already notices difference in foot

Jan 02, 2017

Doctors could never provide Josh Doctson with a good answer, leaving him to rest ... and ponder a season-gone-wrong while looking ahead. It’s all he could do, thanks to the tendinitis in his left foot that has plagued him since May.

But Doctson said he already notices a difference in his foot. And he remains confident what sort of player he can be when healthy.

“Like I was at TCU, for sure, no doubt,” Doctson said.

Doctson missed most of training camp because of the injury, then returned for the first two games. He was inactive for the next four as the Redskins hoped a month of rest would help. However, he was placed on injured reserve before Week 7.

Fantasy Impact:

There’s a chance that neither Pierre Garcon nor DeSean Jackson will return next season. Both are free agents, which means the Redskins need a lot more from their 2016 first-round pick next year. He could form a nice duo with Jamison Crowder.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
