Travis Hunter (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, and Washington should get a boost in playing time and targets for the foreseeable future. In Week 9 at Las Vegas, Washington is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. The Raiders are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and seven receivers have scored at least 14.6 PPR points against Las Vegas this season. Brian Thomas Jr. will hopefully benefit the most with Hunter out, but Washington is worth using in Week 9 and potentially beyond, given this new injury to Jacksonville's receiving corps.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Four grabs against Rams
Rotowire
Washington caught four of 10 targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams. He added 10 rushing yards on three carries.
It's the second time this season Washington saw double-digit targets, after he posted an 4-34-0 line on 11 targets in Week 3. The third-year wideout's increased role Sunday came as Brian Thomas (shoulder) missed time in the second half while the Jaguars tried to mount a comeback, but Washington's inability to capitalize on the two times this year he's seen elevated volume doesn't offer a lot of optimism for his fantasy value, even if Thomas is still sidelined after the team's Week 8 bye.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Two receptions Week 6
Rotowire
Washington secured two of four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss against the Seahawks.
The 2023 sixth-round pick finished second on the team in receiving yards, but that's not saying much given that Brian Thomas was the only Jacksonville pass catcher to eclipse 30 yards. Washington was fairly involved in the passing game across Weeks 2 and 3 with nine catches for 110 yards, but over the past three games he has just four receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Catches TD in win over Kansas City
Rotowire
Washington caught two of three targets for 16 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.
With Dyami Brown (shoulder) back from injury, Washington's offensive snaps were cut in a big way. After playing 85 percent of the snaps in Week 4, Washington was in on just 26 percent of the plays Monday. He made his playing time count, however, as Washington secured a three-yard touchdown from Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter. Washington owns an 11-126-1 receiving line on 21 targets through five games.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: No catches on two targets Sunday
Rotowire
Washington failed to secure either of his two targets Sunday, but he returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown in a 26-21 win over San Francisco.
Washington failed to reproduce the whopping 11 targets he garnered in last week's win over Houston, but the 23-year-old left his mark on the contest when he took his only punt return to the house. Washington's inconsistent usage on offense makes him impossible to trust in standard fantasy formats heading into next Monday's road tilt against Kansas City.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Draws double-digit targets
Rotowire
Washington secured four of 11 targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans.
Washington paced Jacksonville's receivers in targets versus Houston while playing a season-high 71 percent of offensive snaps, and in Week 2 against the Bengals he led the team with 76 receiving yards. Part of Washington's involvement has presumably come due to the recent heavy workload of rookie Travis Hunter on defense, and No. 3 receiver Dyami Brown (shoulder) was also forced off the field early Sunday. Washington could again stare down a path to expanded opportunities Week 4 against the 49ers, which would put him on the fantasy radar as a sneaky flex option.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Leads team in receiving
Rotowire
Washington secured all five of his targets for 76 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.
Washington wasn't targeted in Week 1, but he led the Jaguars in receiving yards in a Week 2 loss that saw Brian Thomas turn 12 targets into just four catches for 49 yards, with rookie Travis Hunter limited to just three grabs for 22 yards on six targets. It was No. 3 man Dyami Brown who scored the only one of Trever Lawrence's three touchdowns to go to a wide receiver. Washington's production came on just a 24 percent snap share on offense, but his workload could increase after such a strong showing.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: No targets Week 1
Rotowire
Washington didn't receive a target and returned one punt for seven yards during Sunday's 26-10 win against the Panthers.
The 2023 sixth-round pick played 17 of 66 offensive snaps but wasn't involved in the passing game in the season opener. Washington took a step forward in 2024 with 32 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns, but he isn't likely to deliver much production this year while working as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout behind Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter and Dyami Brown.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Ready for Year 3 leap?
Rotowire
Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said Wednesday that Washington has impressed throughout training camp and been "a guy who can win consistently against man coverage and match coverage," John Oehser of the team's official site reports.
Udinski praised the versatility Washington has displayed entering Year 3, saying he "can plug and play at different spots and go and execute a wide route tree." Washington himself expressed excitement about his possible utilization in new head coach Liam Coen's scheme, saying "I know I can be more than just a slot and it's exciting to be out on the outside and make plays and be just as effective on the outside as I am in the slot." Consistent targets could be difficult for the 2023 sixth-round pick to earn behind Brian Thomas and WR/CB Travis Hunter, and especially given that new No. 3 receiver Dyami Brown has also reportedly put together a strong camp, per John Shipley of SI.com. That makes it difficult to project much room for Washington's production to grow, even if he does take a step forward as a playmaker, but Washington could still climb onto the fantasy radar in deeper formats.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Finds end zone in finale
Rotowire
Washington caught two of four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.
The 2023 sixth-round pick had a quiet day overall but found the end zone in the fourth quarter on a nine-yard pass from Mac Jones. Washington didn't see much action early in the season but took on a larger role due to injuries in the receiving corps, and he finished the campaign with 32 receptions for 390 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie Brian Thomas ended the season as Jacksonville's only consistent producer in the passing game, and Washington is unlikely to enter training camp as much more than the team's third or fourth wideout.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Two key catches in win
Rotowire
Washington recorded three receptions on three targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Titans.
Brian Thomas remained the only pass catcher in Jacksonville to see significant volume in the game, with Washington finishing second on the team in targets. Washington did deliver a pair of key catches, the first being an impressive, leaping two-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone early in the second quarter. He then recorded a 24-yard gain that helped get the Jaguars in position for a game-clinching touchdown in the final quarter. Washington has done a solid job stepping up in a depleted Jaguars' receiving corps, having topped 50 receiving yards and/or finding the end zone in four of his last five games.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Washington had six catches for 54 yards on six targets in Week 16 at Las Vegas, and he now has at least six targets in three of his past four games. And he scored at least 11.4 PPR points in two games over that span. Now, the one game where he didn't get six targets was in Week 14 at Tennessee (he had two catches for 15 yards on two targets), but he should do better in the rematch. Parker is a good flier in deeper leagues, given the matchup with the Titans.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Works as secondary option
Rotowire
Washington caught all six of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Raiders.
The 22-year-old and Brian Thomas (nine catches for 132 yards) were the only Jacksonville pass catchers to tally more than two receptions on a day when quarterback Mac Jones completed a pass to nine different players. Washington was targeted once in the red zone and earned a pass interference call, which set up a goal-line touchdown for Tank Bigsby. Washington has 17 catches for 226 yards and one touchdown across the past four games and should continue to operate as the Jaguars' No. 2 wideout down the stretch.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Totals 54 yards in loss
Rotowire
Washington caught three of six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 32-25 loss to the Jets.
The 2023 sixth-round pick was second among Jacksonville's wideouts with an 86 percent snap share and finished third on the team in targets and receiving yards. Quarterback Mac Jones attempted 46 passes on the day, but Brian Thomas and Brenton Strange combined for 26 of those targets. Washington should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 wide receiver, and he's been moderately involved in the passing game over the past three weeks with 11 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
I like Brian Thomas Jr. a lot in Week 14 at Tennessee, but Washington is also worth a look as a No. 3 receiver in deeper leagues. Four receivers have scored at least 14.1 PPR points against Tennessee in the past three games, and this has become a favorable matchup. Washington just had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Week 13 against Houston, and this game could be a surprise shootout given how bad both defenses have been this season.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Washington was a limited participant at practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury.
Washington practiced fully Wednesday, but he may have hurt his shoulder at some point during that session, as he was spotted in an orange non-contact jersey when he took the field Thursday, per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union. Friday's injury report will clarify whether the wideout's shoulder issue is anything that could affect his status for Sunday's game against the Titans. Washington is coming off a 6-103-1 receiving effort on 12 targets in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans in Week 13.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We said for two weeks prior to Week 13 to add Washington with Gabe Davis (knee) hurt, and Washington delivered in a big way against Houston with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. It would be great if Trevor Lawrence (concussion) was healthy, but Mac Jones proved he can connect with Washington against the Texans. And the upcoming schedule for Jacksonville is great against the Titans twice (Week 14 and 17), the Jets in Week 15 and Las Vegas in Week 16. Washington is worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.
Washington brought in six of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown and also caught a two-point conversion pass in the Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Washington was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Jaguars with figures that all qualified as career highs. The 2023 sixth-round pick's breakout performance isn't necessarily an outlier -- although it may be an uphill battle to fully replicate if Mac Jones remains the starting quarterback in place of Trevor Lawrence (concussion) -- considering Washington is in line for an expanded role for the remainder of the campaign now that Gabe Davis (knee) has joined Christian Kirk (collarbone) on season-ending injured reserve. Washington next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 14 road clash.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Washington hasn't done much recently with one catch for 10 yards in his past two games on three targets, but he could be needed with Gabe Davis (knee) hurt going into Jacksonville's bye in Week 12. In deeper leagues, it's not a bad idea to stash Washington for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Another quiet game
Rotowire
Washington caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 52-6 loss to Detroit.
The 2023 sixth-round pick's 10-yard reception Sunday is his lone catch in two games with Mac Jones under center for the Jaguars. However, Washington should be more involved going forward since Gabe Davis was ruled out for the season due to a torn meniscus, though the fantasy upside will be limited as long as Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is sidelined.
