If last year is any indication, new Vikings receiver Josh Doctson can be of use to former Washington Redskins teammate Kirk Cousins as soon as Sunday's season opener against the Falcons.
"It can be done," Cousins, the Vikings quarterback, said Wednesday, two days after the Vikings signed Doctson.
"Aldrick Robinson came in [before Week 3 last year] and contributed right away."
Robinson was signed last September for his speed and past chemistry with Cousins in Washington. Six days later, he caught one pass for nine yards in the Week 3 loss to Buffalo. Four days after that, he caught two touchdowns — one more than Laquon Treadwell snagged in his entire Vikings career — in prime time on the road against the Rams.
