Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Roman Wilson

Sunday, December 14, 11:43 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip), who was listed as questionable for Week 15, is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting New York Jets. Washington injured his hip in Week 13 and did not play in last weekend's big win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old is back for a juicy matchup against the Jets, but fantasy managers should be cautious when considering him as a WR4/flex in his return. Rookie first-round wideout Travis Hunter (knee) is done for the year, but Washington might be quarterback Trevor Lawrence's fourth read in the passing game now behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The return of Thomas from an ankle sprain recently has definitely lowered the fantasy ceiling for Washington going forward, and it remains to be seen how much the Jags will actually need to throw the football in Week 15.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will be a healthy inactive for the Monday Night Football game against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 15, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. It's the second straight game that Wilson will sit on the sidelines without dealing with an injury. It coincides with the team picking up veteran Adam Thielen for WR depth behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 has only 12 receptions on the year on 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games in his second year in the NFL. In addition to Thielen, the Steelers have added veteran wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their active roster, pushing Wilson further down the WR depth chart in Pittsburgh.
