Parker Washington News
Sunday, May 31, 2:47 PM
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.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette News
Saturday, August 24, 9:36 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (ankle) left the team's preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills early on Saturday after landing awkwardly completing a catch in the second quarter. The 24-year-old hauled in 2-of-3 targets for 11 yards while contributing 27 yards on two punt returns and a field-flipping 46 yards on his lone kick return. Smith-Marsette was productive before he picked up the injury and is expected to be the team's returner this upcoming season. Barring the severity of his ankle issue, that could still be the case. It's a bit early to tell how impactful the NFL's new kickoff rules will be come the start of the regular season. However, fantasy managers may want to keep the Iowa product on their radar as a sneaky option, depending on how your league values return yards. His Yahoo! ADP is far down enough that he'd be best suited as a prospective waiver-wire add.
