Jameson Williams Could Be Poised for Breakout Game in Week 4

Friday, October 2, 5:29 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has not quite gotten going in the early part of the 2026 season, recording 10 catches for 127 yards and zero touchdowns on 17 targets across three games. The 25-year-old has taken a back seat in his team's passing game so far, ranking fourth on the Lions in targets behind wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, running back Jahmyr Gibbs, and tight end Sam LaPorta. As long as all of Detroit's main pass-catchers stay healthy, Williams may have trouble providing fantasy managers with consistent production. Still, Williams' big-play ability makes him a threat to go off in any given week. Week 4 might be a decent time for fantasy managers to bet on Williams, as he will take on the Carolina Panthers. Carolina has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.1) in the NFL through three weeks, but they also placed starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In a relatively favorable matchup on paper, Williams profiles as a high-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Parker Washington Held to One Catch Against Bengals

Sunday, October 4, 5:33 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington was held to just one catch on three targets for seven scoreless yards in a 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. These were obviously all season-lows for Washington in 2026 thus far. It was a highly disappointing effort from Washington for fantasy managers with the breakout wide receiver in their lineups, but the Jaguars managed to get a win despite his lack of production. Tight end Benton Strange led Jacksonville in receptions (seven) and receiving yards (95) on Sunday, while wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught quarterback Trevor Lawrence's lone touchdown pass on the day. Through four games, Washington leads the Jaguars in receptions with 17 on the season, and he has recorded two receiving touchdowns. He will continue to be heavily involved in the passing game moving forward. Expect Washington to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles in London.
