Should I Start Parker Washington?

According to Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, the team believes wide receiver Parker Washington is capable of replicating his dominant second-half production. Coach Udinski also noted that the staff believes the young wideout could take another step forward in 2026. After a quiet start to the season where he averaged just 6.4 PPR points over his first seven contests, the 24-year-old emerged as a legit league-winner in the second half, averaging an elite 14.2 PPR points per game over his last nine games. During this stretch, Washington found the back of the end zone four times and drew an impressive 6.8 targets per game despite sharing the field with Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. While Washington will face similar target competition once again in 2026, he began to establish a true connection with Trevor Lawrence. Managers should continue to monitor his usage in training camp, as he could be set up for a complete breakout campaign if he can carry this momentum into the new season.
