Parker Washington finished last season with a flurry of insane production; if he picks up right where he left off, he'll be one of the best picks in fantasy football this season. Last year, in Weeks 16-19, Washington asserted himself as the Jags' clear WR1. During that stretch, he averaged 22.3 PPR points per game while soaking up six red zone targets and 13 deep targets (per Fantasy Points Data). In those four games, he had a 28.9% target share, 113.5 receiving yards per game, 3.78 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. Those are all absolutely elite metrics no matter how you slice it. There's some uncertainty about how the Jags target hierarchy sifts out this season with Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter healthy. Each player could effectively put a dent in Washington, putting up monster numbers in 2026, but that risk is baked into Washington's price in drafts. He's a wonderful upside swing in the later rounds.

Parker Washington flashed legitimate breakout potential late in 2025, thriving as Jacksonville's primary slot weapon once injuries opened up additional opportunity in the offense. The former Penn State receiver was extremely productive down the stretch (over 14 PPG from Weeks 9-18), dominating air yards and target share while showcasing strong efficiency metrics. However, his second-half surge also coincided with Travis Hunter's injury absence, and the Jaguars now enter 2026 with a much healthier and deeper WR room. Washington proved he can capitalize on expanded volume, but his weekly role could become far less stable if Jacksonville deploys him primarily in three-WR sets.Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers.
