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: Two catches in win
Rotowire
Washington caught both his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 10-6 win against the Titans.
The 22-year-old played 44 of 59 offensive snaps Sunday but wasn't significantly involved in the passing game after breaking out with six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown Week 13 versus Houston. The recent waiver claim of Josh Reynolds brings more depth to Jacksonville's receiving corps, but Washington still should continue to work as the No. 2 wideout. However, Washington can't be relied upon as a consistent fantasy producer with Mac Jones under center for the Jaguars, as evidenced by the past two weeks.

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.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: No targets in Week 10
Rotowire
Washington played 23 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
The 22-year-old worked as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout with Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) returning from injuries, and Washington didn't end up being involved in the passing attack. He caught six passes for 87 yards across the previous two games, but the Jaguars' offense doesn't have much upside with Mac Jones under center instead of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Receives six targets
Rotowire
Washington caught three of six targets for 41 yards and returned one punt for four yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to Philadelphia.
The 2023 sixth-round pick got the start Sunday with Gabe Davis (shoulder) inactive and Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, and Washington finished second on the team in receptions, targets and receiving yards. He should continue to see regular playing time even once Davis is healthy, though it's unclear just how involved Washington will be in the passing game.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Jaguars are without Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the rest of the season, and Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are both hurt heading into Week 9 at Philadelphia. If both are out, then Washington is worth starting in the majority of leagues against the Eagles. But even if one can't play, then Washington could be a sneaky sleeper, and he just had three catches for 46 yards on four targets in Week 8 against Green Bay. Parker is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Secures lone target
Rotowire
Washington caught his lone target for three yards and returned two kickoffs for 44 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to Miami.
The 22-year-old played just seven offensive snaps as Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas and Christian Kirk dominated the wideout reps for Jacksonville in Week 1. Washington saw the field more than fellow reserve wide receivers Devin Duvernay and Tim Jones but won't have any fantasy utility in his current role.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Stands out during OTAs
Rotowire
Parker has been impressive this spring and is well on his way to earning a roster spot, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
The 2023 sixth-round pick didn't play much through the first three months of his rookie year but then got a look as the No. 3 receiver after Christian Kirk suffered a season-ending injury. Washington played at least 25 snaps in each of Jacksonville's final six games, catching 16 of 21 targets for 132 yards and two touchdowns in that stretch. He'll likely enter the upcoming season somewhere between third and fifth on the depth chart at wide receiver, with his initial role partially depending on the development of rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Washington has "had a really good offseason" so far.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Quiet close to season
Rotowire
Washington caught his lone target for 11 yards Week 18 against the Titans and finished the season with 16 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
Washington saw action in just one of Jacksonville's first nine games but was more involved during the second half of the campaign. The rookie sixth-round pick caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown against Cincinnati in Week 12 but otherwise wasn't noticeably involved in the passing game. Jacksonville's receiving corps could look different in 2024 with Calvin Ridley set to become a free agent, though Christian Kirk (groin) and Zay Jones remain under contract.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: One catch Week 17
Rotowire
Washington caught his lone target for two yards and returned two punts for 17 yards during Sunday's 26-0 win over the Panthers.
The rookie sixth-round pick's 40 percent snap share was his lowest since Week 12 despite the absence of Zay Jones (hamstring). Washington appeared primed for a breakout after he caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown Week 13 against Cincinnati, but he has just nine receptions for 60 yards and one score across the past four games.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Quiet in blowout
Rotowire
Washington caught two of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers.
Washington was unable to get in a groove with either Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) or backup C.J. Beathard, finishing below 20 receiving yards for the second straight game. Tim Jones and Elijah Cooks were similarly involved Sunday, but Calvin Ridley and Evan Engram are likely to remain the only notable producers in Jacksonville's passing game due to Christian Kirk (groin) being on injured reserve.
