Keelan Doss 

Doss is a free agent so he would be considerably cheaper than Sutton, and he’s only been in the league since 2019, so he would also be cheaper than Thomas. Doss is 6 feet 3, two inches taller than Patriots tight end La’Michael Pettway.  

Doss’ career has been somewhat erratic since the Raiders signed him as an undrafted free agent back in 2019. After playing eight games, his career has been slightly erratic since the Raiders signed him as an undrafted free agent for Jon Gruden’s Raiders; he bounced around the league.

Since 2019, Doss has been a Jaguar, a Raider (for a second time), a Falcon, a Jet, a Giant, and a Charger! But he has only played in 14 games; he’s been on practice squads the rest of the time. 

In the 14 games the former UC Davis record-breaking receiver has played, he has caught 17 of his 27 targets. Doss has racked up 166 receiving yards. He also featured on special teams for the Raiders and Chargers. In his three seasons in the league, Doss has a 63% catch rate and averages 9.8 yards per reception. 

Doss was a part of the disastrous Chargers season in 2023; he played in Weeks 4,5, and 6 but didn’t see a single target. He returned to the lineup for the final two games of the season. He saw 13 targets from Easton Stick (unfortunately for Doss) but still managed to haul in six for 33 yards.
