Josh Doctson

Fantasy Upside

Doctson should start in 3-WR sets in Washington with Paul Richardson also on the outside and Jamison Crowder manning the slot. Doctson saw double-digit fantasy points in four of the final seven games of the season last year.

Fantasy Downside
In those four double-digit fantasy games down the stretch, Doctson only averaged 2.8 receptions, making him very touchdown dependent. Plus, Jordan Reed appears to be healthy this preseason and when he's healthy the other receivers get far fewer targets in this offense. Doctson averaged six targets per game without Reed but only 2.4 with him on the field. Reed takes his red zone looks away too.

2018 Bottom Line

Docston is a wild card late-round pick that has boom-or-bust potential which is attractive for a best-ball pick at his ADP. In redraft leagues, however, he's likely to be a weekly headache. He's a deep sleeper in those formats.

Week 16 vs. Denver Broncos

The Broncos are the toughest defense in the league against WRs, based on aFPA. Plus, Josh Doctson has not gone over 40 yards in four straight weeks. Nope. Can't start him anywhere.

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers

Washington has a below average implied team total in Vegas this week of 20.25 points. The Chargers have also allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to receivers over the past four weeks, and Josh Doctson has a good chance of seeing Chargers shutdown corner Casey Hayward. Yes, Doctson has three straight weeks of double-digit PPR points, but two of those performances were because he found the end zone. How lucky do you feel against a tougher defense this week? You shouldn't feel lucky at all and should bench him in this win-or-go-home week.
