Should I Start Parker Washington?

According to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has continued to impress during the team's OTAs and is set to play the "most important role" of his young career during the upcoming season. According to Shipley, Washington has made a strong case to be named the team's OTAs MVP as he continues to find success in this offense. Washington emerged as a legit league-winner in fantasy during the back half of the 2025 season when he became the top option for Trevor Lawrence. Over his last nine games, Washington caught 41 of his 61 targets for 640 yards and four touchdowns. He carried this momentum into the postseason when he brought in seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in their Wild Card loss. While he will share targets with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., it appears the 24-year-old is set to play a lead role in this passing offense, which will put him in a prime position for a breakout campaign.
