The New York Giants signed former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss to an undisclosed deal on Friday and waived T.J. Brunson in a corresponding move. The Giants had Doss working out during training sessions this week before ultimately decided to sign him. The 26-year-old played in one game with the Raiders in 2020 but didn't receive any targets. In 2019, he caught 11 of 14 targets for 133 yards and no touchdowns in eight games (two starts). Doss will represent receiver depth, something the Giants can't have enough of after all of the injuries to their receiving group last year. He'll be buried on the depth chart behind Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney, rookie Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton.
Las Vegas Raiders exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver Keelan Doss officially signed his tender on Wednesday. Doss went undrafted out of Cal in 2019 but signed on with the Raiders and had 11 catches (14 targets) for 133 yards and no touchdowns in eight games (two starts). Las Vegas took Henry Ruggs III in the first round of the draft and also drafted wideout Bryan Edwards this year, so Doss will return as strictly depth behind Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones and Nelson Agholor as well as the rookies. You can ignore Doss heading into fantasy drafts of all shapes and sizes this year.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss hauled in a career-high 54 yards on three catches as the Raiders fell to the Packers 42-24 in Week 7. He finished behind tight endDarren Waller for the team high in targets with five as he filled in as a starting receiver with Tyrell Williams(foot) absent. The undrafted rookie was overthrown on a couple of other pass attempts, but he otherwise looked sharp when given the opportunity. Depending on the status of Williams and Zay Jones in Week 8, Doss could be a DFS value play in a favorable matchup versus the Texans shaky secondary.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss has yet to see a pass attempt come his way this season, but head coach Jon Gruden gave us optimism by stating "when the time is right, you'll see him." The undrafted rookie played a measly two snaps in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Vikings in a game where all the Raiders receivers were mostly held in check. Other than Tyrell Williams and Darren Waller, no one has stepped forward as a third legitimate passing weapon, so it begs the question if it's time to give Doss an opportunity. The front office forked over a hefty contract to the 23-year-old after Antonio Brown packed his bags, so it seems inevitable he'll have a role in the offense at some point. Until we see Doss emerge into a more significant role he remains a dynasty stash, but managers in redraft leagues shouldn't write him off for this season yet.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss is unsurprisingly inactive for Monday night's game versus the Broncos. Recently reacquired from the Jaguars practice squad yesterday, there was never a chance for the undrafted rookie to play in this game with no practice reps all week. There's a possibility Doss suits up in the team's Week 2 matchup versus a susceptible Chiefs Defense, but he won't be on the fantasy radar until he moves his way up the depth chart. The Alameda native makes an alluring player to stash in dynasty formats and could find some value as a cheap DFS option in future matchups.
The Oakland Raiders have brought back wide receiver Keelan Doss after upping their contract offer in the wake of the Antonio Brown release. Doss signed on with the Jaguars for a league-minimum $495,000 salary earlier this week, but the Raiders showed desperation by tacking on an additional $300,000 signing bonus to the deal. The hometown Alameda native will likely join the 53-man roster after narrowly missing the cut out of the preseason, but he won't contribute much fantasy-wise out of the gate. He'll be the sixth receiver on the depth chart, although he could eventually surpass JJ Nelson as the second starting wideout if he can make the most of his limited opportunities. It's obvious the coaching staff is a fan of the undrafted rookie, and he makes an intriguing stash in dynasty formats.
The Oakland Raiders have waived wide receiver Keelan Doss ahead of Saturday's roster cuts deadline. The undrafted rookie has been a standout throughout the preseason picking up 162 yards and a touchdown through four exhibition contests. The Raiders hope he clears waivers so they can keep him on the practice squad, but it seems unlikely he'll go unclaimed after showing some dynamic play-making abilities in the preseason. Doss could provide some fantasy value this season if he's picked up by the right team, but would only be a dynasty stash until he can prove himself on an NFL field.
Keelan Doss Leads Raiders Receivers In Preseason Finale
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss made his final case for a roster spot in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Seahawks. He hauled in six of his 12 targets for a team-high 63 yards leaving a strong final impression on the coaching staff. The undrafted rookie has played well in all four preseason games with 162 yards and a touchdown and looks to have usurped Ryan Grant and Marcell Ateman on the depth chart for the final roster spot. Roster cuts must be made by Saturday afternoon, and if Doss makes the team, he'll be an upside pick in dynasty drafts. He'll have little redraft value as the fifth receiver with Oakland, but he has shown glimpses of a dynamic talent through his first stint in the NFL.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss made an impact on the field once again in Thursdays showdown versus the Packers. He hauled in four catches on six targets for a team-high 52 yards in a game dominated by backup players. The Raiders are giving the undrafted rookie every opportunity to crack the teams roster, and hes lived up to the challenge. Doss has 11 catches for 99 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games and is capable of playing all three wideout positions. His versatility gives him a better shot at making the squad, but he wont hold much fantasy appeal in redraft leagues without a starting job.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Keelan Doss has turned a few heads through the team's first two preseason games. The undrafted rookie caught a touchdown pass in Week 1 and followed that performance with a five-catch 38-yard game in Week 2, making a case for a place on the 53-man roster. Doss is competing for one of the final roster spots at WR, but faces an uphill battle with only one spot available and three players ahead of him on the depth chart for the job. Even if the 23-year-old cracks the squad, he won't receive enough playing time to become a fantasy contributor in 2019.
