Parker Washington News
Tuesday, August 25, 8:43 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (undisclosed), who was labeled day-to-day last week with an undisclosed injury, is taking part in joint practice on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and high-pointed a pass in the end zone from quarterback Trevor Lawrence over defensive back Jacob Parrish in red-zone work, according to Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times. It looks like Washington is back to being a full-go after dealing with what ended up being a minor injury last week. Before the injury, the 24-year-old had been one of the most hyped wideouts in training camp following his strong 2025 campaign in which he caught 58 of 95 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 16 regular-season games. From all indications, the former sixth-rounder from Penn State in 2023 will be an even bigger part of Jacksonville's passing attack this year as he continues to develop a strong rapport with Lawrence. The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder has plenty of competition for targets alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers, but he has quickly become one of the more popular WR3/flex options, especially in point-per-reception fantasy leagues.

Rome Odunze News
Saturday, August 22, 11:43 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze caught one of two targets for 18 yards in his team's 27-9 loss to the hosting Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Odunze was a surprise start in this one - along with the rest of the first-string offense that suited up - although he only got a single series of plays. Despite Chicago making it all the way inside the red zone on its first possession, the drive stalled after a holding penalty and three straight incompletions by quarterback Caleb Williams - one of which was intended for the third-year wideout near the end zone. Odunze will face legitimate target competition from fellow wide receiver Luther Burden III (groin) and tight end Colston Loveland in the upcoming season. However, the former looked the part of a WR1 at the beginning of 2025, and averaged 7.5 targets per game before a foot injury derailed the back half of his campaign. We'll see if Odunze suits up again for in-game action when Chicago squares off against the Tennessee Titans next Saturday.
