Who Should I Start? Mack Hollins or Parker Washington

Friday, December 26, 2:56 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets, as an abdominal injury has kept him from practicing this week. Hollins was one of seven Patriots players ruled out on Friday, along with fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte (concussion). With two of New England's most reliable downfield threats set to miss the game and DeMario Douglas (hamstring) carrying a questionable tag of his own, Stefon Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry could be in line for staggering target shares. Meanwhile, rookie Kyle Williams, who caught a 37-yard touchdown pass in Sunday night's comeback win, becomes an upside-driven desperation flex against a Jets defense that has struggled against the pass.

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.
