Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Washington had a down game in Week 11 against the Chargers with two catches for 20 yards on two targets. But prior to that he had three games in a row with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 11.9 PPR points in two of those outings. We don't know when Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) will return, but as long as he's out, Washington has the potential to be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. He's worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB heading into Week 12 at Arizona.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Targeted twice in blowout win
Rotowire
Washington caught both his targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.
The 2023 sixth-round pick entered Sunday's contest with 15 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown over the previous three games, but Washington was minimally involved in the passing game versus Los Angeles despite leading Jacksonville's wideouts with 54 offensive snaps. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence attempted just 22 passes, with Jakobi Meyers being the only pass catcher with more than three receptions or 25 receiving yards. No. 1 wideout Brian Thomas (ankle) was inactive after being labeled questionable, and his impending return should only further reduce Washington's involvement.
Washington (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Washington didn't practice Wednesday and was limited both Thursday and Friday, but he has gained clearance to suit up Sunday. He has been targeted at least seven times in each of Jacksonville's last three games, but Washington's usage may dip if the Jaguars get Brian Thomas (ankle) back Sunday. Thomas is listed as questionable.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rotowire
Washington (hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Thursday.
Washington didn't practice Wednesday, but a limited session Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chargers. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Washington and/or fellow WR Brian Thomas (ankle, limited) are able to upgrade to full participation, as well as their game statuses ahead of Week 11 action.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Back at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Washington (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Washington didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field a day later is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Thursday's injury report will reveal the official participation level of Washington, as well as that of fellow WR Brian Thomas (ankle), who was limited Wednesday.
Washington led Jacksonville with seven targets in Week 10, and we have not yet received in any indication that Brian Thomas is coming back this week. With Travis Hunter out for the year, there should be plenty of slot snaps for both Washington and Jakobi Meyers. View Washington as a weekly WR3 with WR2 upside in a good matchup.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
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: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I had high hopes for Washington prior to Tuesday, but his Fantasy value took a hit when the Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders. We'll see what happens with Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Dyami Brown (concussion), and both could be out in Week 10. And Travis Hunter (knee) is out for at least three more games, so the injuries in Jacksonville should help Washington in the short term. I still like him as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 10 against Houston if Thomas is out, and Trevor Lawrence should lean on Washington in that matchup. He just had eight catches for 90 yards on nine targets in Week 9 at Las Vegas, and he now has 19 targets in his past two outings against the Rams and Raiders. Washington is worth adding for at least 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.
Washington certainly lost some long-term appeal due to the Jakobi Meyers trade. And in Week 10, he faces a Texans defense that has given up the sixth-fewest Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. But with Meyers' limited ramp-up time and Brian Thomas' ankle injury, I still think there is a chance Washington can help you out as a WR3 this week.

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: 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: 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: 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.
