Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Michael Wilson

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has seen his fantasy value surge with his team set to play Week 11 without top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). Tight end Trey McBride continues to be the team's No. 1 pass catcher, but Wilson is third on the team in most receiving categories and should be the No. 1 receiver this week. The Cardinals, who have had a rotating cast of running backs and are playing with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, have been one of the toughest teams to gauge in the NFL for fantasy leagues. Wilson is earning a middling 6 yards per target and has only 22 catches through nine games, so managers shouldn't expect a week-winning performance, but Wilson's likely increase in volume could be worth a look in deeper leagues or as a one-week fill-in.
