Parker Washington Set for WR1 Duties in Jacksonville in 2026?

In his third season in the NFL, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington had a career year, setting new highs across the board in catches (58), targets (95), receiving yards (847), and touchdowns (five) in 16 regular-season games. All of those marks also led the team in 2025. Washington finished strong as well, hauling in seven of his 12 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in the Wild-Card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old pass-catcher developed a strong relationship with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who had his best season as a pro under first-year head coach Liam Coen. Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. will eat into Washington's targets, but he arguably made a case to open the 2026 campaign as the team's WR1. The former sixth-rounder was the WR31 in half-PPR scoring and had 100 receiving yards in three of the final four games. Washington is on the rise.

Jags' Parker Washington Cleared To Return

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and kick returner Parker Washington (head) was cleared to return after being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. The third-year receiver took a hit on a play in the first half and was walked back to the Jacksonville locker room, but passed the evaluation and earned the all-clear to return to action. Washington had a breakout finish to the regular season in which he averaged more than 100 yards and finished as a top-10 PPR receiver in each of the final three weeks. He should continue to be a pass-catching option while working alongside Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Parker Washington Departs Game Against Bills

The Jacksonville Jaguars said wide receiver Parker Washington (head) is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's AFC Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old did not catch either of his two targets and carried the ball once for a loss of three in the opening quarter, but headed back to the locker room after a collision. Washington had a superb finish to the regular season with 19 catches for 347 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the final three weeks, during which the Jags secured the AFC South and a home playoff game. If Washington is unable to return, Tim Patrick and Tim Jones likely will get chances as Jacksonville's third receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers.

Parker Washington Entering Playoffs as Quarterback's Favorite Target?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington emerged as one of the top fantasy threats over the final three weeks of the regular season, and he'll look to carry that momentum into the opening round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Even though Washington is listed as the Jaguars' No. 3 receiver behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers, he was their most productive pass-catcher from Week 16 through Week 18. During that span, he ranked as the overall WR3 in full-PPR leagues, trailing only Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase. That three-week window saw him catch 19 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. Still, Washington's path to success on Sunday won't come without some difficulty. The Bills have allowed the third-fewest receiving yards and seventh-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Fortunately, the threat of Thomas and Meyers gives the Jaguars three impressive receiving threats, allowing them to create mismatches against Buffalo's secondary. As it stands, Washington remains capable of handling double-digit targets while pushing for close to 100 yards. Plus, he's as much of a touchdown threat as any other pass-catcher on this team. Bettors and DFS players should remain excited about his upside in a potential pass-heavy game against Buffalo.

Parker Washington Dominates Again in Week 18 with 87 Yards and a Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Parker Washington continues to dazzle of late, hauling in five of his nine targets in Week 18 for 87 yards and a touchdown. That now makes it three consecutive weeks that Washington has led the Jaguars in targets, and the second time he has scored in the past three weeks. Over the past three weeks, he has seen 29 targets, caught 19 of them, and has racked up 347 receiving yards. With quarterback Trevor Lawrence playing some of the best football of his career, Washington has stood out in a crowded, expansive receiver room that includes Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The Jaguars just capped off a 2025 regular season, finishing 13-4 and winning the AFC South. Washington finished the regular season with 58 receptions, 847 yards, and five touchdowns, with a lot of his production coming in the past few weeks and when Thomas Jr. missed time earlier in the season.

Parker Washington Profiles as Solid WR2 for Regular-Season Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has enjoyed a breakout season in his third year in the league, catching 53 of 87 targets for 760 yards and four touchdowns. The 23-year-old wideout has produced his two best performances of the season in the last two weeks, posting a 6-145-1 line on 10 targets in Week 16 against the vaunted Broncos defense before following it up with eight catches for 115 yards on 10 targets last week in Indianapolis. His 260 yards during that span are third in the league, only trailing Chris Olave (267) and Puka Nacua (272). While the Jaguars have multiple pass-catchers capable of producing big games, Washington has established a solid floor and should be in line for another productive game in the regular-season finale against a Titans defense that has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per game to wide receivers.

Parker Washington Continuing to Dominate Target Share of Late, Providing Strong Value for Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington posted another fantastic performance in Week 17, notching his second straight 10-target, 100-plus-yard game as the Jaguars defeated the Indianapolis Colts 23-17. Over the past two games, Washington has hauled in 14 of his 20 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown, and over this span, he has emerged as the go-to target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and is a must-add for fantasy managers still competing in Week 18. Washington has proved throughout the season that he can provide fantasy value with other receivers injured or not playing. Still, even with everyone healthy and a lot of mouths to feed, such as Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Brenton Strange, and Washington, it appears Washington has moved ahead in the pecking order of late. The biggest beneficiary of all these weapons is Lawrence, who has been playing the best football of his career of late. Week 18 should also present a good matchup against the struggling Tennessee Titans.

Parker Washington Plays Behind Only Meyers in Win Over Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington posted another superb performance in Week 17, notching back-to-back ten-target, 100-plus-yard outings as the team beat out their division-rival Colts 23-17. Jacksonville has been on a roll, and the Penn State alum has been a big part of it, leading his squad in receiving in consecutive games. Moreover, Washington ranked second at his position in snaps on Sunday, eking out teammate Brian Thomas Jr. 56-54, with only Jakobi Meyers playing ahead of him (65). While it's unclear if this signals an official change in the Jags' passing game hierarchy, fantasy managers should scoop up the 23-year-old anywhere he's unowned, as it appears he'll remain heavily involved despite the corps being at full strength. He's set career-highs across the board in 2025.

Parker Washington Leads Jaguars in Targets, Receptions, and Receiving Yards

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington functioned as his team's No. 1 pass-catcher in Week 17, recording eight catches for 115 yards on 10 targets in a 23-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Washington has now recorded double-digit targets and topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks. Across 15 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 53 receptions for 760 yards and four touchdowns on 86 targets. While the Jaguars have multiple capable offensive weapons worthy of touches, Washington has proven the ability to play a significant role in his team's offense. He's now logged four games with at least 10 targets and five games with at least 70 receiving yards in 2025. Washington profiles as a flex option with upside for fantasy managers heading into his Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Parker Washington a Risky Flex Play in Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is an interesting option to consider in Week 17 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars offense has been great the past few weeks, and Washington at times has been the forefront of it. Last week he managed a whopping 145 yards on just six catches against the top Broncos defense. However, he only had a 56% snap share, which makes him a boom-or-bust option. He also has plenty of target competition, and against a weaker defense, his competition won't be covered as well as against Denver. There's still a chance Washington performs well, but it's certainly not guaranteed. Washington is a decent FLEX play in Week 17, but is a bit risky for teams in the fantasy championship.

Parker Washington Climbing up the Fantasy Ranks, Strong Add off Waiver for Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is coming off a career day in Week 16, where he caught six of nine targets for a career-high 145 yards and a touchdown. The Denver Broncos' defense had no answer for him and rising star Trevor Lawrence. With the Broncos' top cornerback, Patrick Surtain, following Brian Thomas Jr. most of the afternoon, that allowed Washington to find openings and carve up the stellar Broncos defense. Although it's unlikely he repeats this type of production in Week 17, he remains a decent option for Lawrence, and his 10 targets from Week 16 shouldn't be overlooked. The Jaguars take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, who just got carved up against the San Fransico 49ers on Monday Night Football, and the Jaguars' offense should have one of the higher implied team totals on the week, making all of Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Washington fantasy value. For teams with three wide receiver slots or multiple flex spots, Washington should be in consideration.

Parker Washington Unlikely to Repeat Career-Best Performance

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is coming off a week 16 win over the Broncos in which he caught six of nine targets for a career-high 145 yards and a touchdown, and he will be a popular waiver addition heading into fantasy championships. While he is capable of providing a relatively safe floor as part of a Jaguars' offense that has seen Trevor Lawrence flourish of late under the tutelage of first-year head coach Liam Coen, it's important to consider the context behind his Week 16 explosion. With Broncos' All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II shadowing Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. for most of the game, the Jaguars leaned heavily on Washington and tight end Brenton Strange. Against the Colts in Week 17, Jacksonville should see its primary pass catchers more involved, especially if Sauce Gardner, who did not practice at all before missing his third consecutive game, is unable to suit up again.

Parker Washington Seeing Reduced Role in Jacksonville's Offense

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen his role in the Jaguars' offense reduced recently. Washington was playing a bigger part while Brian Thomas Jr. was injured. Now with Thomas back in the picture, Washington has fallen to the third option in this passing attack behind Thomas and Jakobi Meyers. Last week, Washington hauled in all three of his targets for 53 yards during the win over the New York Jets. His snap count has taken a hit over the last two weeks, and he has been playing less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps. Washington shouldn't be counted on as anything more than a deep league option for the Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Parker Washington Returning Against Jets on Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip), who was listed as questionable for Week 15, is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting New York Jets. Washington injured his hip in Week 13 and did not play in last weekend's big win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old is back for a juicy matchup against the Jets, but fantasy managers should be cautious when considering him as a WR4/flex in his return. Rookie first-round wideout Travis Hunter (knee) is done for the year, but Washington might be quarterback Trevor Lawrence's fourth read in the passing game now behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The return of Thomas from an ankle sprain recently has definitely lowered the fantasy ceiling for Washington going forward, and it remains to be seen how much the Jags will actually need to throw the football in Week 15.

Parker Washington Losing Out to New Teammate?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) has seemingly fallen off the fantasy radar in recent weeks, and it isn't only due to his injury. The 23-year-old has stepped up superbly for the team this season, as they've dealt with a few injuries to their WR corps. However, he's taken somewhat of a back seat since Jacksonville acquired former Las Vegas Raider Jakobi Meyers at the November trade deadline. In the three full appearances played together, Meyers has out-caught (12-10) and out-gained (155-124) Washington, despite the latter out-targeting him 16-15. As it stands, Meyers has led the position in snaps three games running, pushing Washington down the ranks of the passing game hierarchy. The Penn State product should still have some productive weeks, but fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help in the playoffs, particularly while he battles a hip ailment.

Parker Washington an Unreliable Fantasy Factor in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was upgraded from a pair of limited practices to full on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation with a decent chance to return to play in Week 15 against the Jets. We've yet to see what a full game's output from Washington looks like with both Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers on the field, but he should leapfrog Tim Patrick for No. 3 WR duties. It is possible that Patrick, who posted a strong 5-78-1 receiving line last week, doesn't just totally fade, and Washington also poses a re-injury risk. Even in a game the Jags could win by 40, Washington is very difficult to trust in a week where many of you are either opening your fantasy playoffs or fighting for a final berth. He's a deep-league, touchdown-dependent dart throw slotted around RotoBaller's WR70 mark.

Parker Washington Carries Questionable Tag into Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Washington was limited in practice during the first two sessions but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Washington appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return this weekend after sitting out last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. If active, Washington will likely take a back seat as the WR3 for the Jags with Brian Thomas Jr. healthy now. Jakobi Meyers has been seeing more involvement with six targets or more in four straight games since being acquired from the Raiders at the trade deadline. Washington should be viewed as a low-end WR4/flex option for this weekend (if he plays) in a game in which the Jags probably won't have to throw the ball all that much. If he's out again, Tim Patrick will see WR3 duties for the second straight week.

Dec 12, 2025 6:18 PM EST


Parker Washington Limited in Thursday's Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was listed as limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Washington suffered a hip injury in Week 13 and did not play in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid either a questionable tag or being ruled out entirely for the second straight week when the team faces the visiting New York Jets this Sunday. Now that Brian Thomas Jr. is back from a sprained ankle, Washington profiles as Jacksonville's WR3. When he returns, he'll also have to contend with tight end Brenton Strange, who has been a big part of the passing attack since coming off Injured Reserve. If Washington is back in Week 15, fantasy managers should have better WR4/flex options. Competition for targets will be stiff for Washington, and they are in a matchup that probably won't force them to throw the ball all that often.

Parker Washington Puts in Limited Practice on Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Washington suffered a hip injury in the Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans and was held out in last weekend's big win over the Indianapolis Colts. Washington's presence for the first practice of the week is a good sign that he'll be able to return for a Week 15 game against the visiting New York Jets, but it will depend on how he fares the rest of the week. The 23-year-old has had some decent games in 2025, including a five-catch, 71-yard, one-touchdown performance in an overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals on Nov. 23. However, Washington is outside the top 50 receivers in half-PPR points per game (7.4), and his fantasy upside is limited as the WR3 in Jacksonville (when healthy) behind Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr.

Dec 10, 2025 5:39 PM EST


Parker Washington Won't Suit Up Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) will be inactive for Sunday's game with the visiting Indianapolis Colts. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news. The 23-year-old was forced from Week 13's 25-3 win over the Titans with a hip injury, causing him to miss Wednesday's practice and log only limited sessions over the ensuing two days. Despite being deemed questionable, it appears Jacksonville will be without its top statistical pass-catcher. While Washington is shelved, teammates Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers figure to lead the team's WR corps, with the former likely to be near a full snap share as he's further removed from an ankle injury. Austin Trammell and Tim Patrick will mix in behind them.
