Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Adonai Mitchell

Thursday, December 4, 12:43 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is back at practice on Thursday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. It's good news for Washington, who was unable to practice on Wednesday after picking up a hip injury in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old isn't out of the woods just yet, but he'll at least have a chance to play this weekend for a huge divisional matchup against the visiting Indianapolis Colts. The former sixth-rounder caught only one pass for 26 yards in Week 13, a week after going for five catches, 71 yards, and a TD in the Week 12 overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals. Washington has had a couple of very nice games for fantasy managers this year and has developed solid chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but his fantasy ceiling will be lower now that Brian Thomas Jr. has returned from an ankle sprain. If Washington cannot play against Indy, Tim Patrick is expected to serve as the team's WR3 behind Thomas and Jakobi Meyers.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has seen his stock rise since being traded to the New York Jets and being provided the opportunity to line up as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver with Garrett Wilson (knee) on the Injured Reserve. In his three games since playing with the Jets, he's seen 25 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. His breakout game came in Week 13, where he went for over 100 receiving yards and a score. With Tyrod Taylor under center and the passing attack looking better the last few weeks for the Jets, Mitchell will hold WR3/flex fantasy value moving forward, especially while Wilson remains sidelined.
