Parker Washington News
Sunday, September 13, 1:20 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington was the leading receiver for the Jaguars in a 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. He finished with five catches on six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown. Washington broke out down the stretch last season, so it is exciting for his believers to see him perform so well in Week 1. While Trevor Lawrence spread the ball around pretty evenly, Washington was the clear top target, with two receptions and 43 yards more than Brian Thomas Jr., the second-leading receiver. He also had three more targets than anyone else on the team. Washington's top receiver status will be put to the test in a much harder matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 2.

Luther Burden III News
Friday, September 11, 6:57 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is without an injury designation for his team's opening game against the hosting Carolina Panthers. Burden sustained a groin injury in early August that derailed his preseason, but he returned to practice ahead of Week 1 and did so at full capacity. The 22-year-old's late-2025 surge jettisoned him up draft boards this Summer, and rightfully so considering his talent and participation in an ascending, young offense. He'll get a Panthers squad to open the year that has made some improvements on the defensive side, but is by no means a scary matchup. More so, Burden could be in line for a heavier target share if fellow wideout Rome Odunze (calf) is hampered by a soft-tissue issue picked up last week. For now, fantasy managers can roll out the Missouri native as a high-upside WR3/flex, with the innate ability to break off a big play at a moment's notice. Burden is RotoBaller's PPR WR27 for the first week of play.
