Josh Doctson Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Both Tajae Sharpe and Josh Doctson are active for today's game. While neither receiver would garnish much attention on a full slate a case could be made for playing either player as a dart throw on Saturday's two-game slate. The Redskins, in particular, are extremely thin in the pass-catching department with both Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis sidelined with injuries.

Chris Thompson has been battling an illness throughout the week but appears ready to play vs The Jaguars. With a dwindling role in this depleted Redskins offense, the once-promising Thompson remains a very risky flex option for the week. Fellow teammate Josh Doctson will also join Thompson on the field today. With an implied team total less than 15 points, it's hard to get excited about any member of this Redskins team.

For yet another week, the Redskins are going to be banged up on the offensive side of the ball. They were without both Chris Thompson and Jamison Crowder this past Sunday, and it's possible they could be without multiple weapons again - Paul Richardson hasn't practiced either of the last two days, while Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson are both dealing with ailments. Jordan Reed should benefit from an added target or two with Crowder out, while Maurice Harris likely fills slot duties for the time being.

Chris Thompson and Jamison Crowder are both expected to sit Sunday against the Panthers. With Thompson out, Kapri Bibbs should pick up passing down duties and with Adrian Peterson banged up, it's possible he ends up earning a healthy share of the rushing work, especially if the Redskins are playing from behind. Crowder did not practice at all this week, and Josh Doctson/Paul Richardson are both banged up heading into Sunday. Maurice Harris could be in store for a fairly large role in the offense, setting him up to have some very solid PPR value especially considering his $3K salary on DraftKings. Harris can operate out of the slot and his ceiling would rise if any of the other Washington pass-catchers are ruled out on Sunday. Jordan Reed is a strong TE target across the industry while Bibbs also sets up as one of the premier value plays at RB on DraftKings.

Dalvin Cook is expected to be limited to roughly half the snaps, so he's going to be really tough to touch for DFS purposes. Latavius Murray, Roc Thomas and CJ Ham are candidates to see increased work, but none of them are recommended value targets at this point.

Josh Doctson has been ruled inactive Monday night due to a heel injury. Maurice Harris will be starting in his place, although the most likely beneficiaries of his absence are Paul RIchardson, Jamison Crowder and Jordan Reed, who all can expect to see a slight bump in targets. That said, don't expect this Redskins offense to look that different, as Doctson had not been making a big impact thus far.
