Dynasty Summary: Doctson has shown the ability to lead a team, evident by the 25% team target share in 2015. The ability to track the ball, play down the field, and ultimately snare the ball are all elite in this draft class. When a team speaks about a receiver who can correct a quarterback’s bad throw, Doctson is the type they refer to. Since the end of the season, Josh has risen from seventh to third in rookie mock drafts. DLF rankers are conflicted with Doctson ranging from the first to fifth wide receiver. Personally, I have him first in my wide receiver ranks with Treadwell hot on his heels. If Doctson ends up as a first round pick, particularly to a receiver needy team like the Bengals, he could be an instant contributor for dynasty teams.
Rotoworld: 13. Where He Wins: Doctson produced so many highlight reel, acrobatic catches in the end zone and along the sideline. He can get open when working back towards the quarterback after winning vertical, resulting in easy separation. A better route runner than I think many expect, specifically with minimizing wasted movement. A very good athlete.
Daniel Jeremiah: "They're going to get some weapons around quarterback Kirk Cousins, who got the franchise tag. Doctson is very much like Jordan Matthews of the Eagles. Both are faster than people give them credit for. Doctson surprised a lot of people at the combine when he ran a 4.5 40." --
