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 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Washington is worth a look in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB with Gabe Davis (knee) hurt, and Trevor Lawrence could return in Week 13 against Houston. Washington could be headed for a big role opposite Brian Thomas Jr., and Washington could benefit with Lawrence back for the Jaguars.

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: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
We'll see how the Jaguars look with Mac Jones starting in place of Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), but I still like Washington as a sleeper against the Vikings, who are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. In the first game without Christian Kirk (collarbone) in Week 9 at Philadelphia, Washington got six targets and finished with three catches for 41 yards. If you're willing to trust Washington with Jones, then it should be a better performance for Washington in Week 10. I would start him in deep, three-receiver leagues in this matchup.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
In the first game without Christian Kirk (collarbone) in Week 9 at Philadelphia, Washington got six targets and finished with three catches for 41 yards. He has a favorable upcoming schedule in Week 10 against Minnesota and Week 11 at Detroit, and Washington is worth adding in all leagues for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

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.
Washington is well suited to play the Christian Kirk role in this offense. He's caught 73% of his targets in his short career. The status of Brian Thomas and Gabe Davis will determine whether we're thinking about starting Washington next week, but he should be a PPR flex regardless.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Takes punt to the house
Rotowire
Washington returned a kickoff for 27 yards and ran back a punt for a 96-yard touchdown in Sunday's 32-16 win against the Patriots.
His coaches may not have been thrilled when they saw Washington field a punt from his own four-yard line inside the two-minute warning of the first half, but he quickly allayed any concerns when he brought it all the way to the end zone to put the Jaguars up 21-10. He also tied his season high in offensive snaps Sunday with 21, but he still projects to contribute primarily as a returner versus the Packers in Week 8.

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.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Just 12 yards in loss
Rotowire
Washington caught four of six targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Baltimore.
The rookie sixth-round pick tied for third on the team in targets but didn't have any production of substance with a long reception of six yards. Washington played 45 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps and worked as the No. 3 wideout, and an increased role could be in store depending on the severity of Zay Jones' hamstring injury.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Christian Kirk (groin) was placed on injured reserve Friday, which means Washington should be the slot receiver for the Jaguars for the next four games, starting in Week 14 at Cleveland. When Kirk was injured in Week 13 against Cincinnati, Washington stepped up with six catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on six targets. We'll see if Trevor Lawrence (ankle) can play against the Browns in Week 14, but Washington is a good deep-league flier even if C.J. Beathard starts for Jacksonville. And Washington could be a decent sleeper to add for the rest of the year.

Jaguars' Parker Washington: Busts out after Kirk injury
Rotowire
Washington caught all six of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals. He also returned two kickoffs for 51 yards and one punt for no yards.
Christian Kirk exited with a groin injury on Jacksonville's first drive, and Washington took advantage of the opportunity. The rookie sixth-round pick didn't have a catch and had played just 12 offensive snaps in his three prior appearances this season, but he played 59 percent of the offensive snaps Monday and was second on the team in receptions. The specifics of Kirk's injury aren't yet known, but if he misses more time Washington will likely serve as the Jags' No. 3 wide receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones. Trevor Lawrence also suffered a high-ankle sprain versus Cincinnati, and that injury looms large for the outlook of Jacksonville's offense as a whole.
