Teammates see change in Redskins WR Josh Doctson

Aug 06, 2018

There’s been a change in Josh Doctson.

His teammates say they can see the growth, the uptick in confidence and his maturation into more of a complete player. And according to Redskins tight end Jordan Reed, Doctson is on the verge of a breakout season.

“He’s going to dominate this year. He’s going to ball out for sure, ” Reed said of the 2016 first-round pick.

Fantasy Impact:

Reed went on to say this is the best Doctson has looked in the three years the two have been together. Of course, expectations are always high in the preseason, but Doctson, now entering his third year, is looking to make his mark in the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
