Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Malik Washington

Thursday, November 13, 12:42 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) returned to Thursday's practice after he was listed as a non-participant due to a hamstring injury on Wednesday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Washington's fantasy stock was on the rise going into the Week 10 loss to the Houston Texans, with rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) placed on Injured Reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) ruled out. The 23-year-old pass-catcher responded with two touchdowns (one receiving, one on special teams) on three catches for 33 yards. Thomas could be back this weekend against the Tennessee Titans, but Washington should maintain his role as a starter in Jacksonville's passing attack the rest of the year now that Hunter is officially done for the season. He'll make for a WR4/flex option again on Sunday in a good matchup, and he's definitely developed some solid chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence in his third NFL season.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has been a fairly consistent contributor for the offense since Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 4. Washington has served as a lite version of Hill, with plenty of designed targets and jet sweeps to get the ball in his hands. The per catch efficiency has been modest for the 24-year-old, with his 6.4 yards per reception ranking third lowest out of 117 wide receivers with at least 100 routes this season, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Washington remains among the top Miami pass catchers in routes run and has recorded multiple receptions in all but one game this season. Washington has also scored twice in the past three weeks and gets a glorious Week 11 matchup against a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the second-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.
