With Jordan Reed and Terrelle Pryor in and out of the Washington Redskins' lineup the last five weeks, Josh Doctson has seen his opportunities continuously increase.
Doctson's averaged an 86.38% snap rate over his last five games, a mark 24.67% higher than his season average (61.71%). His overall target share in the last four games (15%), albeit fourth-highest on the team in that span, has also stayed consistent in every outing (12%, 16.1%, 15.5%, 22%).
Chris Thompson accounted for 24.1% of Washington's carries and -- perhaps more relative to Doctson -- 23.4% of targets and 18.2% of the team's receiving yards. With those totals now missing from week-to-week, there's no better time than now for Doctson to finally emerge.
It only helps that the New York Giants rank 22nd-overall according to Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP.
