Jaguars WR Parker Washington has been a daily standout in training camp, drawing praise from coaches and media alike. He looks primed to open the season as Jacksonville's best target bet.
What They're Saying
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley: "Washington has routinely been the top target for Trevor Lawrence in practice during training camp, and it is easy to see why. He is catching everything that is thrown in his direction and it sure seems like he is getting consistent separation regardless of which cornerback the Jaguars have placed in front of him on the rep."
OC Grant Udinski: "I certainly don’t want to take it for granted that we have a player of that capacity. When the ball is in the air, I have the utmost confidence that he’s gonna come down with it. It’s never a surprise when he’s going up there and making those acrobatic catches — unbelievable body control, unbelievable ability to track the ball, strong hands, strong at the point of attack. All those things are so consistently showing up
2026 Fantasy Football Impact
Washington broke out over the second half of last season, averaging 4.8 catches, 74.7 yards, and 0.5 TDs over his final 10 games, including the playoffs. His 15.3 PPR points per game during that stretch would have ranked 10th among WRs over the season.
Washington appears to have carried that momentum into 2026 and looks primed for a big role in Jacksonville's passing game this season.
Washington even suggested this week that he'll play more in '12' and '13' personnel this season. That'd be big for his week-to-week reliability after he ran a route on just 52% of pass plays with 1 or 2 WRs on the field, even over those final 10 games last season.
WRs Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Travis Hunter have also flashed early in camp. The depth in Jacksonville’s WR corps will make it tough for Washington to deliver league-winning fantasy production. But he's our top-ranked Jaguars WR and a strong value at his 7th-round ADP.
