Parker Washington Emerging as a Featured Piece in Jacksonville?

Friday, September 26, 10:53 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington led the team in targets in Week 3 with 11, hauling in four catches for 34 yards. After going without a target in Week 1, Washington now has nine catches on 16 targets for 110 yards over the team's last two games. On paper, Washington should be behind Jaguars wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) and Travis Hunter in the target pecking order in Jacksonville. However, Thomas Jr. has gotten off to a slow start, and Hunter's offensive role has been limited while he splits snaps between wide receiver and cornerback. Washington could be emerging as a trusted short-area target for Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Heading into his Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Washington profiles as a low-end WR4/flex option in deep leagues.

Luther Burden III Still Off Fantasy Radar Against Las Vegas

Saturday, September 27, 12:12 PM

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III flashed big-play ability in Week 3's blowout win over the Cowboys, catching all three of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown. He also logged a season-high 31% snap share, showing growth in his role. Despite the breakout performance, Burden's overall usage still limits his fantasy relevance. Through three games, he has played just 25% of the snaps, well behind Rome Odunze (95%), D.J. Moore (88%), and Olamide Zaccheaus (48%). Burden gets another favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders secondary that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. However, until his role becomes more consistent, Burden remains unstartable in fantasy this week.
