Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Malachi Corley

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington finds himself in a very crowded position group. However, he has likely done enough to defray any concerns about his volume going forward. Washington opened 2025 as the clear-cut No. 3 receiver behind Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr., and he continued to face heavy competition when Hunter tore his ACL and the Jaguars brought in Jakobi Meyers. Still, Washington ended up breaking out with a career-high 58 catches, 847 yards, and five touchdowns. Not only did he lead the Jaguars in receiving yards and touchdowns, but at WR27 overall, he was also the team's highest-scoring fantasy receiver. Given his consistency over the back half of the season in a crowded position group, we can confidently say that Washington's third-year breakout was not a fluke. He should remain one of Lawrence's favorite targets even with Hunter, Meyers, and Thomas all present next year. That may result in an occasional dud game from Washington, but for the most part, we expect him to be a reliable fantasy contributor in a Jacksonville offense with plenty of targets to go around. We would advise against selling high on Washington in dynasty leagues, because his fantasy relevance is just getting started. He remains a high-end WR3/flex option for 2026 fantasy football.
