The Vikings activated Doctson (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson will fill the opening on the 53-man roster that was created by the Vikings' recent release of fellow wideout Davion Davis. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Broncos, Doctson's return comes at an opportune time to bolster Minnesota's receiving corps. He could have a chance to unseat Laquon Treadwell for the No. 3 receiver role right away in Week 11.

Doctson (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday after joining the Vikings for practice.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson won't be eligible to play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but he could make it back for Week 10 in Dallas. His odds of earning snaps on offense may depend on Adam Thielen's recovery from a hamstring injury of his own.

Doctson (hamstring) said Thursday that he's targeting a return from injured reserve Nov. 10 versus the Cowboys, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson said he's hoping to retake the field as early as he is eligible. The 2016 first-round pick is nursing a hamstring injury suffered Sept. 11, according to Tomasson. If Doctson is indeed able to get to full health in time to suit up Week 10 against Dallas, he'll likely be restricted to a depth role behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Laquon Treadwell and Bisi Johnson will compete for the No. 3 receiver gig in the meantime.

The Vikings placed Doctson (leg) on injured reserve Thursday, Arif Hasan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson is reportedly a candidate to return later in the season, though his placement on IR rules him out until Week 10 at the earliest. Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson will provide the Vikings with receiver depth behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs in the meantime, and the team is a strong candidate to add at least one wideout to the roster in short order.

Doctson is reportedly headed for IR due to a leg injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Doctson could be a candidate to return later this season, but for now Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson will provide the Vikings with wideout depth behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Additionally, the team figures to bolster the position in short order.

Doctson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson was inactive Week 1 due to a coach's decision and is now managing a hamstring injury. The 2016 first-round pick is working to climb Minnesota's depth chart and earn a role behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. His chances of suiting up versus the Packers on Sunday are unclear.

Doctson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Doctson could push out Chad Beebe or Bisi Johnson for the No. 3 or 4 spot on the depth chart as he becomes more acclimated with the Vikings' offense, but the Redskins castoff will be on the sideline for Week 1. Even if Doctson ascends in the Vikings' wideout pecking order, it's unlikely he'll carve out a large enough target share behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs to gain mainstream fantasy relevance.

Doctson is signing with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 first-round pick was waived by Washington on Saturday, failing to earn a roster spot on a team that might have the weakest group of wide receivers in the league. Doctson now lands with a Vikings squad that kept just four wide receivers on its initial 53-man roster, with Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson earning jobs behind the target-hogging duo of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. It's as good of a landing spot as Doctson could've hoped for, with potential for snaps early in the season if Beebe struggles in the No. 3 role. A reunion with Kirk Cousins can't hurt, though the quarterback had more success in Washington when he threw to other receivers, namely Jamison Crowder, DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon.

Doctson was released by the Redskins on Saturday,Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Redskins were hoping a trade suitor might emerge for Doctson, but predictably the 2016 first-round pick garnered no viable offers. Despite rightfully earning the "bust" label after three years of disappointing play, Doctson is likely one of the better wide receivers currently available on the open market and should latch on with a wide receiver-needy team relatively soon. Paul Richardson, Trey Quinn and Terry McLaurin figure to be the starting three receivers for the Redskins come Week 1.

The Redskins hope to trade Doctson before Week 1, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Doctson has caught one pass for 16 yards through three preseason games. Coach Jay Gruden declined to say if the wideout will stick around on the 53-man roster, instead noting that Doctson won't play in Thursday's preseason finale against Baltimore, per Craig Hoffman of 106-7 The Fan Washington. It sounds like the Redskins might cut Doctson if they can't find a trade partner by the end of the week. Either way, Terry McLaurin or one of the team's other young wideouts will have a nice opportunity to earn snaps early in the season. Paul Richardson is locked in as a starter outside, with Trey Quinn (thumb) expected to man the slot in three-wide formations.
