Parker Washington A Deeper-League Flex vs. Bucs
Parker Washington faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. When Christian Kirk left the Week 13 game against Cincy, the rookie Washington was forced to occupy the slot receiver role and he has done an admirable job, with 100 yards and two touchdowns over two games. Washington also ranks top-20 in the league with 15 targets since that game, demonstrating a good rapport with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. If Zay Jones is able to play, Washington actually makes for a decent 2nd flex option in 12-team leagues given how poor the Tampa Bay secondary has played all year. With Jones in the lineup, the Penn State product projects more as a WR4/5 or deep-league flex given that he is still the fourth option in the passing attack, and it is still unknown if Lawrence will be out there.

Parker Washington A Decent Flex In Week 18
Parker Washington could serve as a decent replacement flex against the Indianapolis Colts. With many top players resting in the season's final week, you can do much worse than Washington. Last week he up put three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. After Drew Lock and the Giants offense cooked the Colts in Week 17, the Jaguars offense will try to do the same in what is a meaningless game for them. Besides Brian Thomas Jr., everyone on the Jaguars offense will be trying to showcase they deserve a significant role next season. As an injury replacement who has been solid but not really a standout, this game could be important for him long term. Expect a decent performance out of Washington in Week 18.

Parker Washington Scores Goal-Line Touchdown In Week 17 Victory
Parker Washington salvaged a quiet fantasy day with a short touchdown in Week 17 in a 20-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver finished with three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown from two yards out in the second quarter. With Mac Jones under center, the offense has struggled overall, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. stealing all of the targets. Washington had just three targets in this game but made the most of them. For anyone who started Washington in fantasy championships, they got a solid outing likely meeting expectations. Washington has been solid filling in for injured receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis this season. With better quarterback play, he could develop into a more consistent receiver. The Jags face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 18.

Parker Washington Lacking Upside In Week 17
Parker Washington does not get the targets or have the big-play ability to be considered a reliable fantasy option in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver flashed back in Week 13 against the Houston Texans with a six catch, 103 yard, and a touchdown performance. Other than that, he hasn't done much this season even with injuries to Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Evan Engram. Last week, Washington did put up six catches for 54 yards, but he isn't relied on enough by the already underwhelming Mac Jones. Washington seems to be competing for the second passing option behind Brian Thomas Jr. with Brenton Strange and Travis Etienne Jr. In an already limited offense, Washington lacks the consistent volume and upside to be worthy of starting in fantasy championships in Week 17.

Parker Washington Snags Six Passes Sunday
Parker Washington reeled in all six of quarterback Mac Jones' targets for 54 yards in their 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Penn State product totaled 54 yards for the second week in a row but doubled his reception total from their loss to the New York Jets in Week 15. Despite low catch totals in his previous two outings, the 22-year-old has been decently involved in the Jags' offense -- racking up at least six targets in three of his last four contests. Jones hasn't been a world-beater but has been competent enough to support stud rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. and one other pass-catcher on a weekly basis. Washington will get a far tougher ask in Week 17 against the visiting Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been a chore for opposing wideouts, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position in 2024 (18.3).
