Free-agent wide receiver Josh Doctson will work out for the New York Giants this week. The former first-round pick last played in the NFL for the Minnesota Vikings in 2019, appearing in one game without recording a catch. Doctson opted out of the 2020 season and was released by the New York Jets in May. The Giants are deep at wide receiver, and even if Doctson makes the roster, the 28-year-old is not on the fantasy radar in 2021.

The New York Jets released former first-round wide receiver Josh Doctson on Friday. Doctson never actually played a snap for the Jets after opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19. The Jets also cut cornerback Kyron Brown, tight end Connor Davis, offensive lineman Leo Koloamatangi, kicker Chase McLaughlin and wide receiver Jaleel Scott on Friday. Doctson, the No. 22 overall pick in 2016 by the Washington Football Team, spent three seasons with Washington and had 1,100 receiving yards ...

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it is proven. One thing for certain is there are some players already in the league who will go overlooked in drafts until very late.Of course, not all of these will work out as well as a DeVante Parker in 2019. ...

The New York Jets signed wide receiver Josh Doctson to an undisclosed deal on Saturday. Doctson was taken 22nd overall in the first round by the Redskins in 2016, but he's mostly been a disappointment in his career to this point. He finished three seasons with Washington with 81 catches, 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns. Doctson signed with Minnesota in 2019 but spent most of the year on Injured Reserve. Robby Anderson is expected to leave in free agency and Demaryius Thomas could as well, while...

The Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring) off of Injured Reserve on Friday. He'll be available to play in Week 11 against the Broncos. Doctson has some history with quarterback Kirk Cousins from their time in Washington, but it's a long shot that Doctson will be very involved in the offense this weekend, even with Adam Thielen (hamstring) out another week. Olabisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell should still see most of the work in three-receiver sets alongside ...

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and is eyeing a return in Week 10 against the Cowboys. He's been on the Injured Reserve the last seven weeks but has been designated to return. "Im ready, but thats not up to me," Doctson said. "So Im just trying to do what I can do and show that Im 100 percent on the practice field first. After that, well see." Even when Doctson returns, he'll likely be at least fourth on the receiver depth chart behind ...

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Josh Doctson (hamstring), who is currently on Injured Reserve, is targeting a Nov. 10 return at the Cowboys, which is the first game he's eligible to return for. Doctson could take Laquon Treadwell's spot as the No. 3 wideout on the roster, but there are no guarantees. He does have familiarity with quarterback Kirk Cousins from their days in Washington, but Minnesota continues to feature run-heavy scripts and Doctson has little hope to become fantasy relevant ...

The Minnesota Vikings are placing wide receiver Josh Doctson (leg) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. The former Redskins first-round pick will be a candidate to return later this year. Doctson has been a first-round bust, but he was hoping to maybe carve out a role in Minnesota's offense this year with former teammate Kirk Cousins throwing him passes. Time is running out for Doctson in the NFL, and he's well off the fantasy radar.

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to a one-year deal with former first-rounder Josh Doctson on Monday, filling their wide receiver core after keeping just four at the roster deadline. Doctson, the 22nd pick in the same draft as recently released Laquon Treadwell, hasn't had a great start to his career but did have his best season with Kirk Cousins (35 catches, 205 receiving yards, six touchdowns) in 2017. He likely slides into a depth receiver role to start, but he could work his way into the ...

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson predictably sat out the team's fourth and final preseason game. As is usually the case at this juncture of the summer, the Redskins utilized the fourth exhibition as a last chance for fringe 53-man wideouts to stake their claim to the last few spots on the depth chart. Darvin Kidsy (six) and Cam Sims (seven) both saw high volumes of targets, but combined to catch just three of them. Doctson's absence from the preseason finale is no surprise, but ...
