Parker Washington's Value Up in the Air Moving Forward?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen an increased role in the offense over the last few weeks. Primarily due to wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) being sidelined the last few games, and Travis Hunter (knee) being out for the season. Unfortunately for Washington, the Jaguars brought in Jakobi Meyers from Las Vegas, and now all of a sudden, with Thomas Jr. logging limited practices all week, Meyers ramping up, and the Jaguars identifying themselves as a run-first offense lately with Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten, the path to opportunities for Washington appears a bit fuzzier than before. Regardless, Washington has built good chemistry with Trevor Lawrence over the past month, as he has earned 28 targets over the past four games, even though he saw only two in Week 11. Washington profiles as a WR3 heading into a Week 12 matchup where the Jaguars get the Arizona Cardinals, who rank decently against wide receivers, but nothing to be frightened of. That said, if your team has wide receiver depth and needs to make a roster move for a high-cieling handcuff, or rostering someone with a solid fantasy playoff schedule, Washington is droppable in 10-12-team formats.

Parker Washington has Intriguing Value

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen an increased role in the offense over the last few weeks. Fellow wideout Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been sidelined the last few games, which has led to more playing time for Washington. Sadly, Washington gave fantasy managers a dud this past weekend. He hauled in both his targets for 20 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. To be fair, Washington didn't likely get many chances due to the fact the Jags were blowing them out. The expectation is that Washington will have a larger role against the Arizona Cardinals this weekend. His role in the offense could be reduced if Thomas gets back on the field. However, Washington is still worth a look as a possible flex option.

Parker Washington Should See Heavy Usage

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) has been cleared to suit up for the Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Washington was limited on Thursday and Friday, but that was enough to clear him for this contest. Washington has seen a significant boost in targets over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Washington has been targeted 26 times, which is a huge increase from what he was seeing earlier in the season. The expectation is that Washington will continue seeing a high volume of targets with Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) unavailable. Washington has done enough recently to be considered a low-end WR3.

Parker Washington Will Play in Week 11, Facing Smaller Role?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday despite not putting in a full practice all week. Washington was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury before being limited on Thursday and Friday. With Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) missing the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, Washington caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards and his second touchdown of the season while also returning a kick for a score on special teams. The 23-year-old's role will be elevated for the rest of 2025 with rookie Travis Hunter (knee) done for the season, and Washington has developed some nice chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. However, with Thomas potentially returning this weekend and the newly acquired Jakobi Meyers also being more involved in his second game, Washington becomes a little less attractive as a PPR WR4/flex.

Parker Washington Back at Practice on Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) returned to Thursday's practice after he was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury on Wednesday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Washington's fantasy stock was on the rise going into the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) placed on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) ruled out. The 23-year-old pass-catcher responded with two touchdowns (one receiving, one on special teams) on three catches for 33 yards. Thomas could be back this weekend against the Tennessee Titans, but Washington should maintain his role as a starter in Jacksonville's passing attack the rest of the year now that Hunter is officially done for the season. He'll make for a WR4/flex option again on Sunday in a good matchup, and he's definitely developed some solid chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence in his third NFL season.

Parker Washington Steps Up as Jaguars' Slot Receiver

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington made a big impact in Week 10, contributing in multiple ways and showing startable fantasy value moving forward. Washington caught three of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, while also scoring on a punt return in the 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans. With Travis Hunter (knee) out for the season, Washington is set to take over as the Jaguars' full-time slot receiver. He's played 87% and 85% of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks, both of which were team highs. While Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers will be key parts of the offense, Washington offers intriguing upside and is worth rostering in all leagues.

Parker Washington Unable to Practice on Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. This is not good news for the Jaguars as Washington has seen nearly 30 targets over the last three games. It's unclear when he suffered the hamstring injury as he hauled in three of his seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. His status will need to be monitored throughout the week as the Jags head into a matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11.

Parker Washington Scores Two Touchdowns on Sunday, Must-Add off the Waiver Wire

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver out of Penn State scored two touchdowns on Sunday in the Jaguars' 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans. One of them came early in the first quarter, a seven-yard strike from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which put the Jaguars up 10-0. The second came in the second quarter, a 73-yard punt return that put the Jaguars up 17-0. Additionally, Washington led the Jaguars in targets with seven; the next closest was running back Travis Etienne Jr. with three. Although Washington led the team in targets, he was only able to haul in three of them for 33 yards to go with his two touchdowns. For most of the afternoon, he was shadowed by Derek Stingley Jr., who is considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in the game. As long as Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) continue to miss time, Washington will remain in the low-end WR2 conversation heading into Week 11, when the Jaguars take on the Los Angeles Chargers.

Parker Washington Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 10 Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington caught three of his seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, added two carries for minus-four yards, and returned a punt 73 yards for another touchdown in a 36-29 loss in Week 10 to the Houston Texans. Washington was Jacksonville's top target earner for the second straight week, with top wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) both sidelined. The 23-year-old led the Jaguars in routes and slot rate in Week 10, with recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers mostly aligning out wide and only running 50% routes. Washington had an impressive contested touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone during the first quarter, then added an electric punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter to reward fantasy managers who put their faith in him. Washington will project as a strong flex option again in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Parker Washington Should be Busy in Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is expected to have an expanded role during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The Jags will be without both Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee) during this Week 10 matchup. That means, Jakobi Meyers, Washington, and Dyami Brown should be the primary wideouts this weekend. Last week, Washington secured eight of his nine targets for 90 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old has seen 19 targets over his last two games. He has shown enough on the field lately to be plugged in as a flex option for Week 10.

Parker Washington a Flex Play in Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets and receptions in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He hauled in eight of his nine receptions for 90 yards, with a very solid 26 percent target share. Travis Hunter (knee) is out for another three games minimum, Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps) is sidelined, and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is struggling in 2025 and rolled his ankle late in the game on Sunday, and is questionable heading into Week 10. The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers on Tuesday; however, Washington should still receive a majority of the looks on Sunday against the Houston Texans while Meyers adjusts to the new offense. The unfortunate news is that the Texans are a tough matchup, allowing the fourth fewest points to opposing wide receivers. Derek Stingley Jr. is also one of the top cornerbacks in the game, so it might be tough sledding for the Jaguar pass catcher he guards on Sunday. That said, the targets should be there for Washington, as he's now seen 19 over his last two games, making him a flex option in Week 10 and a must-add off the waiver wire.

Parker Washington a Top Waiver-Wire Add Going into Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the Jaguars in targets in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders with nine and hauled in eight receptions for 90 yards, with a 26 percent target share. With Travis Hunter (knee) out for another three games minimum, Brenton Strange (hip, quadriceps) sidelined, and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) struggling in 2025 and rolling his ankle late in the game on Sunday, Washington is becoming a must-add in all formats heading into Week 10, as he is looking like the Trevor Lawrence's go-to guy in the passing game. Even in Week 9 with Thomas Jr. healthy, Washington was the leading receiver in this contest and is looking like a low-end WR2/flex option for Week 10, regardless of Thomas Jr. Week 10 status.

Nov 3, 2025 9:53 AM EST


Parker Washington on the Rise for Week 9

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is likely to see an expanded role in the offense. Fellow wideout Travis Hunter (knee) recently landed on the injured reserve. That being said, Washington figures to have a larger role in the passing game going forward. Last week, Washington saw 10 targets during the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He hauled in four of them for 52 yards, which was one of his better outings of the season. The 23-year-old figures to continue seeing a high volume of targets while Hunter is sidelined. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Washington as a flex option for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Parker Washington a Waiver-Wire Option With Teammate on IR

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington should be considered a waiver-wire pickup heading into the weekend after the Jaguars announced on Friday that they placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury that he suffered in practice on Thursday. Hunter will not be eligible to play again until Week 13 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Nov. 30. In the meantime, Washington will see his role in the passing game increase dramatically next to Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) and Dyami Brown. Washington, 23, enters the team's Week 9 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday with 17 catches on 35 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown in 2025. He has seen double-digit targets in two games this year and could very well be on his way to a third this weekend in Vegas, where he'll suddenly be on the WR4/flex radar in fantasy leagues.

Parker Washington a Low-Upside Bench Option in Week 5

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football in what should be a difficult game. That could mean the offense struggles quite a bit, but it could also mean plenty of targets for a receiver like Parker Washington. Washington had a down week in Week 4 after 76 receiving yards in Week 2 and 11 targets in Week 3, making him a risky play. However, he has at least shown himself capable of producing in the inconsistent Jaguars offense, albeit with limited upside. Washington is fine to roster, but better left on the bench in Week 5 against the tough Chiefs' secondary.

Parker Washington Emerging as a Featured Piece in Jacksonville?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the team in targets in Week 3 with 11, hauling in four catches for 34 yards. After going without a target in Week 1, Washington now has nine catches on 16 targets for 110 yards over the team's last two games. On paper, Washington should be behind Jaguars wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) and Travis Hunter in the target pecking order in Jacksonville. However, Thomas Jr. has gotten off to a slow start, and Hunter's offensive role has been limited while he splits snaps between wide receiver and cornerback. Washington could be emerging as a trusted short-area target for Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Heading into his Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Washington profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option in deep leagues.

Parker Washington Becoming Big Part of Jaguars Passing Attack

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has seen his role expand over the past two weeks. After being held without a catch in Week 1, Washington has since drawn 16 targets, catching nine passes for 110 yards. His playing time has increased, thanks in part to Travis Hunter taking on a heavier defensive workload, playing 65% of defensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3, compared to just 9% in Week 1. Washington's opportunity grew even further in Week 3 when Dyami Brown exited with a shoulder injury, allowing Washington to play 71% of the snaps. If Brown misses additional time, Washington stands to be the primary beneficiary. For fantasy managers, Washington is not a locked-in starter, but with Hunter focusing more on defense and Brown banged up, he's emerging as a name to watch in Week 4 and beyond.

Parker Washington Showing Improvement This Summer

Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer John Oehser writes that wide receiver Parker Washington's improvement and approach has been constant since the arrival of new head coach Liam Coen, and the offensive staff "continues to be impressed by Washington's versatility and production." "He can plug and play at different spots and go and execute a wide route tree," offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said. The 23-year-old is expected to be the team's No. 4 wideout this year alongside rookie Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown. Washington caught 32 passes for 390 yards and three touchdowns for the Jags a year ago and is showing that he can be reliable and productive in Coen's scheme. He's produced 48 catches on 72 targets for 522 yards and five touchdowns in 26 games (eight starts) in his two NFL seasons. Unless an injury opens up more playing time, Washington is one to avoid in 12-team leagues.

Parker Washington Salvages Fantasy Day With Touchdown

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.

Parker Washington Decent Flex In Week 18

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.
