I wouldn't. I think most of the time in the league, Ross has had negative value. A guy who isn't where he needs to be, gives up on routes, and doesn't catch the ball is much much worse than a less talented guy who is where he needs to be, giving his (admittedly less) all, and catching the ball.

2017-2020
Ross: 51-123 (41.5% catch rate, 16 drops), 733 yards (14.4 AVG), 10 TD
Erickson: 87-140 (62.1% catch rate, 3 drops), 1,015 yards (11.7 AVG), 1 TD

Ross has the TDs which was nice but that was mostly back in 2018. Also 41.5% makes even Tim Tebow look accurate, his hands are terrible, and that's not even counting all the routes he ran incorrectly or just gave up on that resulted in turnovers. Also if you're in the training room, you're not contributing.

You can find a 4th WR anywhere.

As for the original point, hard pass on Doctson. Guy was released by 2 teams in 2019 without a single catch and sat out 2020. It's likely that his career is done.
