Josh Doctson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140

CURRENT ADP: ~170

ANALYSIS: Many fantasy owners will suffer from recency bias with Washington wide receiver Josh Doctson, who was selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft and touted as an athletic freak of nature. After suffering a torn Achilles as a rookie, the Washington receiver missed 14 games last season and wasn’t a part of Kirk Cousin’s 4000-plus yard air raid. However, at 6’2 and 202 lbs, the former TCU star has reliable ball skills with a large catch radius combined with all the physical tools to win at the line of scrimmage.

It speaks volumes that the Redskins opted not to resign Pierre Garcon or DeSean Jackson this offseason, with both combining for 135 receptions on 2016 targets last year. Doctson is in a great position to be lined up as the team’s No. 3 wide receiver alongside Terrelle Pryor and Jamison Crowder in an offense that will likely be in the top-10 for passing attempts in 2017.

On the whole, Doctson appears healthy after participating in offseason activities and ready to become a useful fantasy asset for owners who don’t want to pay the hefty draft price of the two going ahead of him.

He is currently going undrafted in standard scoring and in the twelfth round as WR-57 in PPR according to fantasyfootballcalculator.com, making for a great bargain.

There is no question that he provides a good chance for a significant return on investment, making it an easy pick to justify in my mind.
