Doctson anticipates being a free agent next offseason, ESPN.com's John Keim reports. "I think I'm hitting free agency next year. I won't be the first, won't be the last," Docton said. "It's nothing to be sad about, be mad about. I'm not trying to prove nothing to nobody. Just trying to get chemistry with the quarterbacks."

The Redskins will not exercise the fifth-year option on Doctson's rookie contract, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Doctson could face some competition after Washington selected wide receivers Terry McLaurin (third round) and Kelvin Harmon (sixth round) during the 2019 NFL Draft.

Doctson brought in two of four targets for 33 yards in the Redskins' 24-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (concussion) returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. While Doctson is likely to be questionable on the final injury report, he at least has a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Jaguars. However, with Josh Johnson now under center and against a tough Jags secondary, Doctson would be a weak WR4/flex if he's active. If he can't get cleared, Jamison Crowder and Maurice Harris would see more targets in the passing game.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson is in the league's concussion protocol. The Redskins continue to suffer injury after injury as the collapse to end the 2018 season. Doctson had four catches (five targets) for a season-high 84 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Giants and has 20 targets in the last three games. He's become worth consideration as a WR4/flex in deeper leagues but his concussion and the fact that Josh Johnson is now the starting quarterback will make him a very risky starting option for the fantasy semifinals against the Jaguars this weekend. If he doesn't clear the protocol in time, Jamison Crowder and Maurice Harris would benefit the most.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson caught four of five targets for 84 yards in Sunday's defeat at the hands of the New York Giants. Both the yardage and yards-per-catch mark season highs for the wideout, but that is about the extent of the optimism to be found here. The Redskins have lost four games in a row, and have very likely allowed a playoff berth to slip through their grasp. There has not been a single consistent receiving option in this offense all season, and there is no conceivable reason to believe that will change in the final few weeks.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is active for Week 14 against the Giants. Running backs Kapri Bibbs and Samaje Perine are healthy scratches. Doctson hasn't reached the 100-yard mark in a single game this year and has only two touchdowns in an offense that is now being held hostage by Mark Sanchez at quarterback. Doctson's upside is also further limited now that Jamison Crowder is back in action. You can't realistically trust him to help you in the fantasy playoffs.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is questionable for Week 14 against the Giants. Doctson did have a season-high 10 targets two games ago, but otherwise he hasn't done much with more opportunity in 2018 with Jamison Crowder missing a big chunk of the year. Doctson doesn't have more than six catches or 66 yards in a single game and has found the end zone just twice. With Mark Sanchez now the starting quarterback the rest of the way, Doctson has even less upside as a WR5. Crowder's presence also hurts Doctson for the final four games. Maurice Harris could see more targets if Doctson is forced to sit out.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson has had the benefit of being the one regular starter at his position not to miss significant time due to injury this season, but he has not converted that availability into a productive fantasy campaign. There is no reason to hope for a sudden turnaround with Mark Sanchez now at the helm, and certainly not against a Giants defense that has been among the league's stingier units to opposing wideouts. Just as he has been all season, Doctson is a no-go in fantasy lineups for Week 14.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson hauled in three of five targets for 51 yards in Monday night's loss to the Eagles. Leave it to Washington to be the first team all season to see their wideouts fail to record double-digit receptions or more than 100 receiving yards against Philadelphia. With Colt McCoy having suffered the second season-ending quarterback injury in three weeks for the Redskins, it is safe to ignore all participants in this disaster of a passing game, with the possible and occasional exception of Jordan Reed.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson posted season highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards in the team's Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. If Doctson's Thanksgiving Day outing was a prelude of things to come with Colt McCoy having taken over as the team's starting quarterback, Monday night's contest with the Eagles presents the perfect opportunity to showcase this potential development. Philadelphia has been absolutely torched by opposing wideouts this season, having allowed double-digit receptions and at least 100 receiving yards to the position in every single game. Doctson hasn't done anything to earn the trust of fantasy owners this year, but if you're courageous enough to take a gamble, he could propel you into the playoffs from the flex spot in Week 13.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson saw a season-high 10 targets in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys, and he turned in his best all-around performance of the season as a result. His six catches and 66 yards were also season-highs, though he failed to get into the end zone to top off his outing. It's difficult to know whether this performance was the result of the Redskins having to throw the ball to keep up with Dallas, or if it is tied to Colt McCoy's preference to target Doctson. For what it's worth, this wasn't the first time the Redskins found themselves facing a deficit, but Alex Smith never looked Doctson's way this often. Keep an eye on him to see if Thursday was an outlier or the beginning of a trend.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson followed up back-to-back touchdown performances with more of what we're used to seeing from him on Sunday: three catches for 32 yards. Doctson was targeted seven times in a close game in which the Redskins could've used a rise-to-the-occasion outing from a wideout, but it was not to be. Further complicating things for the Redskins' receiving corps is the season-ending injury to Alex Smith. Perhaps Colt McCoy will look Doctson's way more often than Smith did, but it's far more likely (at least in the immediate future) that Jordan Reed and Adrian Peterson are relied on more heavily.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson scored the only touchdown in Sunday's 16-3 victory over Tampa Bay. His final line for the day was four catches for 46 yards and that visit to the end zone. The fact that Doctson has now scored in two consecutive games would be encouraging if the Redskins' passing offense as a whole wasn't still so underwhelming. Doctson still hasn't breached the 50-yard plateau in a single game this season, and Washington's coaching staff is perfectly content to win games in the least entertaining ways possible. One thing worth mentioning is that Doctson's two touchdowns have both come on throws inside the 10-yard line. He could trend slightly in the right direction if he emerges as a clear red zone threat.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson finally caught a touchdown in Week 9 against the Falcons. He'll look to pay the end zone another visit in Week 10 against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed wide receivers to cross that threshold 14 times this season. The Bucs are also guilty of permitting double-digit catches and triple-digit yardage to opposing wideouts in every game except for one. Neither Doctson nor the Redskins passing offense as a whole has done much to earn the faith of fantasy owners, but they are undoubtedly in a position to build upon last week's signs of life. Doctson is worth considering as a low-salary, all-or-nothing DFS play.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson salvaged yet another unproductive fantasy performance with a touchdown catch in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He finished the game with three catches on six targets for 31 yards and that lone touchdown. It's telling that even in a game in which the Redskins faced a two score-deficit at halftime, Doctson was not a focal point of the comeback effort. He was out-targeted by both Vernon Davis and Maurice Harris, neither of whom are heavily involved in the passing game on a regular basis. Doctson may have finally scored a touchdown, but he remains a non-factor in fantasy.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson hasn't been worth fantasy consideration since his investors weighed their late-round options on draft day. He has just three more receptions than teammate Jamison Crowder, who hasn't played since Week 5. If Doctson is ever going to turn his season around, a Week 9 matchup with an exploitable Falcons defense would be a good place to start. The Falcons rank as the third softest matchup in the league for opposing wideouts, and have allowed at least one WR touchdown in every game since Week 2. Doctson is by no means a lock to continue this trend, but he could wind up coming through as an all-or-nothing dart throw in DFS.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson led the team in receiving yards with 49 in Sunday's win over the Giants. He also reeled in all five of his targets. This outing can be spun one of two ways. Doctson's five receptions and 49 yards are both season highs, and perhaps this is a much-needed step in the right direction. On the other hand, when a player's "season highs" after seven games are that low, maybe this isn't anything to pay attention to. Doctson also has yet to reach the endzone in 2018, so it isn't like he's accounting for low volume with big plays. Sunday was Doctson's best all-around game, but we need to see much more from him before he's worth fantasy consideration.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson headlines one of the more lackluster groups in the NFL, and hasn't shown any indication that he can be counted on in any fantasy format. In Week 8 he will face a Giants pass defense that has fallen off a cliff against opposing wideouts. After limiting New Orleans receivers to 79 yards on seven catches in Week 4, New York has surrendered an average of 207 yards and 16 receptions to the position over the last three weeks. The Giants have also given up four touchdowns to wide receivers in that span. Nothing about the Redskins' offensive strategy suggests they are suddenly going to start airing it out in Week 8, but if Doctson is ever going to emerge from his first-half rut, an exploitable Giants secondary at least presents him with the opportunity.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson continued what has been an incredibly underwhelming season in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Doctson hauled in three catches on six targets for 42 yards, finally breaking the 100-yard mark on the season. With how forgettable 2018 has been for Redskins wide receivers, one would think that the team would actively try to find a go-to guy among them. Unfortunately for fantasy owners seeking out value among Redskins pass-catchers, Washington's formula for success includes much larger quantities of rushing than passing. There just isn't enough volume to go around, and Doctson remains well beyond the outskirts of the fantasy conversation as a result.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson will take his pedestrian eight-catch, 68-yard season totals into a Week 7 matchup with a Cowboys defense that hasn't been kind to his position. Opposing wide receivers have averaged just 10.5 catches per game against the Cowboys, a number good for second lowest in the NFL. Alex Smith already prefers Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson in the passing game over any of his wide receivers, so don't expect the Redskins to challenge Dallas on this matter. Doctson may be the healthiest receiver on Washington's depth chart, but he is not in line for a breakthrough in this contest with the Cowboys.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson caught three of six balls thrown his way for 20 yards on Sunday against Carolina. His full line for the season is now eight receptions for 68 yards and no touchdowns. Moreover, he has hauled in less than half of his 19 targets. Doctson stood to see more opportunities in the passing game with Jamison Crowder and Chris Thompson declared inactive, but he wasn't able to capitalize. He'll look to finally break out against the Cowboys in Week 7, but seeing as how he hasn't reached 40 receiving yards in a game, Doctson should be well off the fantasy radar for now.

.Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (heel) is questionable to play in Week 6 against the Panthers. If he does play, he could be limited in his snaps. "Yeah, we're just hoping that when the play presents itself for him to make a big play for us. He's a guy that we have to give opportunities to. He has lacked opportunities and had a couple that we didn't cash in on," head coach Jay Gruden said. Doctson could get more opportunities if either Jamison Crowder or Paul Richardson -- who are both questionable too -- don't play, but Doctson is at best a shaky WR4/5 for fantasy owners.
