Washington is listing Josh Doctson as questionable to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Doctson was limited in Wednesday’s practice with what head coach Jay Gruden called “tightness” in his hamstring.

While limiting Doctson was initially called “precautionary” by Gruden, the second-year receiver was limited again Thursday and Friday, meaning he’ll enter Sunday without a full practice.
That makes is hard to see Doctson getting a big workload if he plays. He missed most of last season with an Achilles injury and much of this year’s training camp and preseason with a hamstring injury. That led to him seeing limited snaps in Week 1 and not even drawing a target from Kirk Cousins, who threw 40 passes in a 30-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact: If Doctson is active, he faces a Rams defense which allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to receivers in 2016. Still, Doctson is closer to being on the chopping block with your fantasy team than in your starting lineup, so don’t bother player him this week.
