Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington salvaged his fantasy day with a touchdown in a 26-23 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Washington finished with just two catches for 15 yards and a nine-touchdown. The young receiver has been inconsistent ever since taking over at receiver for the injured Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis. He surpassed 100 yards back in Week 13 against the Houston Texans when Mac Jones first took over at QB. However, since then he has struggled to consistently produce, always outshined by the talented Brian Thomas Jr. Washington does seem like a decent red zone threat at least, scoring each of the last two weeks. Washington could turn into a decent flex option if he becomes a consistent starter in the 2025 NFL season.

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Parker Washington could serve as a decent replacement flex against the Indianapolis Colts. With many top players resting in the season's final week, you can do much worse than Washington. Last week he up put three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. After Drew Lock and the Giants offense cooked the Colts in Week 17, the Jaguars offense will try to do the same in what is a meaningless game for them. Besides Brian Thomas Jr., everyone on the Jaguars offense will be trying to showcase they deserve a significant role next season. As an injury replacement who has been solid but not really a standout, this game could be important for him long term. Expect a decent performance out of Washington in Week 18.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington salvaged a quiet fantasy day with a short touchdown in Week 17 in a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver finished with three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown from two yards out in the second quarter. With Mac Jones under center, the offense has struggled overall, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. stealing all of the targets. Washington had just three targets in this game but made the most of them. For anyone who started Washington in fantasy championships, they got a solid outing likely meeting expectations. Washington has been solid filling in for injured receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis this season. With better quarterback play, he could develop into a more consistent receiver. The Jags face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.
Dec 30, 2024 10:57 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington does not get the targets or have the big-play ability to be considered a reliable fantasy option in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver flashed back in Week 13 against the Houston Texans with a six catch, 103 yard, and a touchdown performance. Other than that, he hasn't done much this season even with injuries to Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Evan Engram. Last week, Washington did put up six catches for 54 yards, but he isn't relied on enough by the already underwhelming Mac Jones. Washington seems to be competing for the second passing option behind Brian Thomas Jr. with Brenton Strange and Travis Etienne Jr. In an already limited offense, Washington lacks the consistent volume and upside to be worthy of starting in fantasy championships in Week 17.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington reeled in all six of quarterback Mac Jones' targets for 54 yards in their 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Penn State product totaled 54 yards for the second week in a row but doubled his reception total from their loss to the New York Jets in Week 15. Despite low catch totals in his previous two outings, the 22-year-old has been decently involved in the Jags' offense -- racking up at least six targets in three of his last four contests. Jones hasn't been a world-beater but has been competent enough to support stud rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. and one other pass-catcher on a weekly basis. Washington will get a far tougher ask in Week 17 against the visiting Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been a chore for opposing wideouts, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position in 2024 (18.3).
Dec 23, 2024 3:03 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is a difficult player for fantasy managers in the playoffs to feel good about starting in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders serve as a good matchup for the young receiver, but Washington has been overshadowed by Brian Thomas Jr. and Brenton Strange ever since he broke out with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 13. Also, Mac Jones has been a volatile player when replacing Trevor Lawrence at quarterback, either having good enough games to support multiple receiving options in fantasy or struggling to support even one. Despite a great matchup with the Raiders, it is hard to recommend Washington with confidence in Week 16 due to his target competition and inconsistent quarterback play.
Dec 21, 2024 12:00 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington had a respectable performance in Sunday's 32-25 loss against the New York Jets. He hauled in three of his six targets for 54 yards. With Evan Engram (shoulder) sidelined, there was optimism that Washington would receive an increase in targets and workload heading into Week 15. There is room for improvement heading forward, as Brenton Strange and Brian Thomas Jr. had 26 targets combined. On the bright side, quarterback Mac Jones threw for 294 yards, and the Jaguars (3-11) will likely be in pass-heavy game scripts for the remainder of the year. This will allow plenty of targets and opportunities for Washington and the Jaguar receivers. Washington will be on the FLEX radar heading into Week 16 as the Jaguars travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.
Dec 16, 2024 11:00 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington should be capped statistically once again in Week 15 against the New York Jets. Washington had a standout performance in Week 13 against the Texans, but otherwise has not done much all season. In three starts, Mac Jones has struggled to lead the offense to points, throwing for zero passing touchdowns. There is a chance Washington has another solid PPR outing, but based on the circumstances and the matchup with the Jets secondary, it is more likely Washington continues to show Week 13 was a fluke. With Evan Engram out injured, there is a chance Washington is more involved, but more likely that just means Jones spreads the ball around even more, or targets standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr. more. Washington is tough to consider in lineups for the fantasy playoffs in Week 15.
Dec 14, 2024 12:22 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is expected to earn additional consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 15, but he's not the most dependable option after catching just two passes for 15 yards last Sunday. The 22-year-old turned heads across the league back in Week 13 with six catches, 103 yards, and one score, but he has come back down to earth since then and is no longer viewed as one of the top streaming WR3/FLEX options. Rather, he's the No. 2 pass-catching option in a struggling offense led by Mac Jones, which doesn't bode well for his fantasy value. To make matters worse, Washington is facing a New York Jets defense that has allowed the third-fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as well as the fourth-fewest fantasy points. Managers should bench Washington and look elsewhere for their WR3/FLEX contributions in Week 15.
Dec 14, 2024 9:40 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington did not do much in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. He finished with two catches for 15 yards on just two targets. Washington had a breakout game last week against the Houston Texans, catching six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. However, he earned 10 fewer targets in a full game with backup Mac Jones, indicating that maybe Week 13 was more a fluke than the new normal. That is unfortunate given Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis are out for the rest of the season. Instead of Washington earning more targets each week, it seems Brian Thomas Jr., Evan Engram, and Travis Etienne Jr. will be more consistent receiving options going forward. Washington will look to get back on track in Week 15 against the New York Jets.
Dec 9, 2024 12:28 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will try to match his performance from last week in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. With Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk out for the rest of the season, Washington stepped up in Week 13, producing six catches for 103 yards against the Houston Texans. That came despite Trevor Lawrence leaving the game late in the second quarter with a concussion and Mac Jones taking over. Washington has been limited in practice all week with a shoulder injury but has no injury designation for Sunday, a small thing to keep in mind when considering Washington for starting lineups. Given the Titans relatively tough passing defense and Mac Jones being hit or miss so far this season, it's hard to say Washington is anything more than a decent flex play in Week 14.
Dec 7, 2024 10:00 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (shoulder) was added to the team's Week 14 injury report on Thursday after he took part in a limited session of preparation for the upcoming game on Sunday versus the division-rival Tennessee Titans. It's unclear yet how serious of a shoulder injury Washington is dealing with and if it will affect his availability for the Week 14 contest. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good sign, but the 22-year-old's practice status on Friday will tell us more. He was heavily involved in last week's loss to the division-rival Houston Texans, catching six of his 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. Washington will certainly benefit from more volume in the final five games of the season with Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis done for the year, but how much will the Jags' offense suffer with quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder) done for the year?
Dec 5, 2024 5:58 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington surpassed 100 yards receiving in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. With Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk out due to injury, Washington was the clear next man up heading into this game. He took advantage of the opportunity, producing 103 yards on six receptions and leading the team in targets with 12. While it isn't surprising Washington had his best game of the season, it is surprising he played this well given he had increased opportunities earlier in the season that he didn't take advantage of. It's especially impressive given Trevor Lawrence left early with a concussion and Mac Jones took over. The Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans in Week 14, where Washington will look to build on this momentum, no matter who is under center.
Dec 2, 2024 11:45 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has not shown any signs of fantasy relevance this season, but with injuries to Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis, he at least has a chance to produce this week. With Trevor Lawrence returning from a shoulder injury, it's possible he produces slightly more than usual, but for any fantasy manager pushing for the playoffs, Washington is tough to consider as a realistic option. Evan Engram and Brian Thomas Jr. should dominate touches in the passing game, and be the main players responsible for any Jaguars success through the air. If Mac Jones ends up a surprise late start at QB, Washington becomes an even worse fantasy option. Despite a potential boost for the offense with better health and coming off a bye, Washington is a desperate option at best in Week 13.
Nov 30, 2024 11:20 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington joined the rest of the offense on Sunday in producing very little in the 52-6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11. Washington was targeted three times by quarterback Mac Jones and hauled in one of the three targets for a pickup of 10 yards. The 22-year-old should have a much bigger role moving forward now that Gabe Davis (knee) has been ruled out for the season, but Washington and the rest of the Jags' offense is desperately hoping that regular QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will be ready to return following the team's Week 12 bye. Washington, a sixth-rounder in 2023, has just one catch for 10 yards in the two games that Mac Jones has started. He has only 10 catches (18 targets) for 118 yards and no TDs in 11 games this year and will primarily be a bench stash in deep leagues the rest of the way.
Nov 18, 2024 7:22 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will look to produce more in a good matchup this week against the Detroit Lions. Washington played 52 percent of the snaps in Week 10 but did not register a single catch. To be fair, Mac Jones and the entire Jaguars offense struggled, but with Jones starting this week in place of Trevor Lawrence once more, that likely won't change this week. The most likely way Washington and the passing offense put up solid fantasy numbers is if the Lions take an early lead and sit back on defense during garbage time. That could lead to at least a solid PPR outing for the young receiver even if the offense struggles to score. After zero catches last week, it is hard to trust Washington in fantasy lineups in Week 11 against the Lions.
Nov 16, 2024 11:50 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will be tasked with stepping up once again against the Minnesota Vikings. In Week 9, Washington had just three catches for 41 yards on six targets last week in relief of Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis. Brian Thomas Jr. was a game-time decision but played. Kirk is out for the rest of the season and Davis and Thomas Jr. are questionable once again, so Washington should have a similar role against the Minnesota Vikings. His main competition is tight end Evan Engram, the healthiest receiving option currently on the team. Washington will have to deal with Mac Jones potentially taking over for Trevor Lawrence as well this week due to an injury of his own, but the two did play together a bit during preseason. It's risky, but Washington is a potential deep league flex play once again in Week 10.
Nov 9, 2024 11:48 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has a unique opportunity to be fantasy-relevant this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. First off, Christian Kirk is ruled out for the rest of the season, so Washington is the most likely replacement for him going forward. Also, Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis are game-time decisions, meaning Washington could be Jacksonville's top wide receiver this Sunday. He would still certainly be behind Evan Engram in the target pecking order, but he has shown chemistry with Trevor Lawrence in the past to step up as the second receiving option. The Eagles are a tough matchup, but fortunately, Darius Slay is out with injury, meaning Washington at least wouldn't be shadowed by a top corner. While it's a bit of a risk in a tough matchup, Washington could serve as a deeper league flex play against the Eagles in Week 9.
Nov 2, 2024 1:12 AM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will enter the team's starting lineup following the season-ending collarbone injury suffered by Christian Kirk. Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also dealing with minor injuries, so Washington should have the opportunity to earn targets moving forward. Washington, a 2023 sixth-round pick out of Penn State, caught 16 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season. As a depth wideout this year, he's been limited to six receptions for 67 yards. However, he reportedly had a strong training camp. The 22-year-old is not likely to be a significant factor in fantasy football leagues of 12 teams or fewer, but managers in leagues of 14+ teams could take the flier on him on the waiver wire.
Oct 29, 2024 2:30 PM EST
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington recorded three receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown in a 20-7 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a 73-yard kickoff return against the Kansas City Chiefs last week, Washington showed off his receiving ability Saturday night, capping off a 17-play drive with a 25-yard touchdown from Mac Jones. At just 22 years old, Washington has potential value in dynasty leagues if he gets playing time down the line. However, this season, Washington will be stuck behind Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Brian Thomas Jr., making him nothing more than an intriguing backup option in the case of injuries. To begin the year, redraft fantasy managers should leave Washington in free agency, but he is a name to keep an eye on during the season.
