Washington failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Bills. The rookie sixth-round pick played 13 of 60 offensive snaps as he once again operated as the Jaguars' No. 4 wide receiver. Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas continue to dominate the snaps at wideout for Jacksonville, and Washington is unlikely to have much involvement in the offensive while that trio remains healthy.

Washington failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Bills. The rookie sixth-round pick played 13 of 60 offensive snaps as he once again operated as the Jaguars' No. 4 wide receiver. Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas continue to dominate the snaps at wideout for Jacksonville, and Washington is unlikely to have much involvement in the offensive while that trio remains healthy.
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.
Washington recorded four catches on five targets for 35 yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons. Washington got the chance to play with Jacksonville's starting unit with Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined. He tallied a pair of receptions from Trevor Lawrence and then remained in the game for a few additional drives as Jacksonville's backups took the field. That's indicative of Washington's status on the depth chart, as he should operate as the fourth wide receiver when Kirk, Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas are all healthy.
Washington caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers. The 22-year-old had a decent rookie campaign as a depth wideout last season, as he finished with 16 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. Washington has likely already secured a place on the season-opening roster, but he's competing with Devin Duvernay for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart. Neither wide receiver is likely to be fantasy relevant to begin the season with Chirstian Kirk (calf), Gabe Davis and first-round rookie Brian Thomas locked in as Jacksonville's top wideouts.
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 season 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.
Washington hurt his knee against the Falcons in Week 4 and was placed on IR soon thereafter. That Week 4 contest has been his only game action of the season, and he logged just one offensive snap and one special-teams snap before getting hurt. Washington doesn't figure to see much action as a receiver upon his return, though he could be immediately featured as a kick and/or punt returner with Jamal Agnew (shoulder) landing on IR on Saturday.
