Washington rookie wide receiver Josh Doctson participated in a light workout on the sideline Wednesday as he is still recovering from an Achilles injury. Head coach Jay Gruden told the media that the young receiver is looking better, but the team is still unsure as to when Doctson will be able to participate in a full practice.

Some feel that the rookie receiver could start the 2016 season on the team’s PUP list, including Washington Post reporter Mike Jones.
Fantasy impact: Before his injury this summer, Doctson could have been thought of as as a possible WR2 option. But currently, most fantasy owners are not even taking a chance on selecting him for 2016.
His value for this season will certainly plummet if he begins the year on the team’s PUP list. The designation would not allow Doctson to participate in any of Washington’s games or practices for the first six weeks of the regular season.
