Parker Washington Set For Enhanced Role
2 months agoJacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington will enter the team's starting lineup following the season-ending collarbone injury suffered by Christian Kirk. Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) are also dealing with minor injuries, so Washington should have the opportunity to earn targets moving forward. Washington, a 2023 sixth-round pick out of Penn State, caught 16 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season. As a depth wideout this year, he's been limited to six receptions for 67 yards. However, he reportedly had a strong training camp. The 22-year-old is not likely to be a significant factor in fantasy football leagues of 12 teams or fewer, but managers in leagues of 14+ teams could take the flier on him on the waiver wire.
