    Parker Washington caught 1-of-3 targets for 7 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 4 win over the Bengals.

    Washington also added three yards with one carry on the ground. After a hot start to the season, Washington was relatively quiet against the Bengals. The Jaguars receivers combined for just 11 of Trevor Lawrence’s 23 targets and Washington saw three of those. His first reception came in the fourth quarter on a 40-yard catch-and-run that would have sealed the game, but was called back after replay showed he stepped out of bounds after seven yards. Game script and the Bengals’ tight end weaknesses played a factor in this game, with Brenton Strange the primary target on the day. Washington should still be the Jaguars’ No. 1 receiver and is a fantasy WR2 for Week 5 against the Eagles.
Kaliakmanis impresses but Commanders lose to Colts
Mike Florio praises the efforts of Washington third-string quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, who performed admirably after Marcus Mariota's injury. However, Indianapois still cruised to an easy victory.

    It’s Washington’s second touchdown in the Jags’ first three games of the season. Washington caught his touchdown against the Patriots after having an acrobatic touchdown grab called back on a penalty. Having established himself as the team’s clear-cut WR1 — well ahead of Brian Thomas, who had one target in Week 3 — Washington will have a rock solid weekly floor with ceiling to spare in shootout game scripts. Washington should remain in all lineups next week against a middling Bengals defense, in what could be a high-scoring affair between two potent offenses.

    Trevor Lawrence, as always, targeted Washington heavily, as no other Jacksonville pass catcher saw more than eight targets on the day. Washington came within half a yard of a touchdown in the first half after scoring in Week 1 against the Browns. Clearly the team’s No. 1 wideout, Washington should have a rock-solid weekly floor with upside to spare, especially when the Jaguars have to operate a more pass-heavy offense. Washington will be a top-15 play next week against the Patriots.

    Washington saw elite usage in the first half, making the first Jacksonville catch of the game and ending the Jaguars’ first drive with a diving 30-yard touchdown reception. He followed it up with a one-handed sideline catch on the second drive and tallied five receptions in the first half. His usage was that of a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver for the Jaguars’ fantasy-friendly offense. The game was out of hand in the second half, leading to no more receptions the rest of the day, but fantasy managers will be happy with Washington’s utilization and production as he adds to his elite box scores from the end of last season. Washington is a fantasy WR2 heading into Week 2 against the Broncos.

    Per Wolfe, the Jags explored a deal similar to that of Michael Wilson, who just landed a three-year, $75 million extension. The two sides couldn’t agree to terms, and Washington will now start his contract year. It’s a highly risky move for a largely unheralded player who caught lightning in a bottle at the end of last year. Washington caught 29 passes for 507 yards and three touchdowns in his final five games, including one postseason appearance. If he repeats anything close to those numbers over a full season this year, Washington will make far more than Wilson as a free agent next offseason.

    Coen also noted that Washington is “the guy right now,” suggesting that his role as the returner could change at some point in the year. Washington returned 25 punts for the Jaguars last season and racked up 341 return yards and two touchdowns on those returns. Coen said the Jaguars will hope to get Travis Hunter involved as the punt returner at some point, but Washington will start the season in the role. Washington profiles as a solid WR2 to start the fantasy season after going for 58-847-5 last year.

    Jags GM James Gladstone said last week that the team was open to an in-season extension with Washington, who is set to hit free agency next offseason. Both sides want to get a deal done, but they are clearly still at odds over the details of the contract. Even if it takes longer than expected, it does look like Washington will sign an extension before he gets to test the waters of free agency. Coming off an outstanding training camp, Washington should be treated as a fantasy WR2 for the Jags’ Week 1 date with the Browns.

    Washington, 24, is entering a contract year, coming off the best season of his career. He is reportedly expected to be the team’s No. 1 wide receiver. If Washington plays up to that standard, he will unquestionably be able to raise his asking price. Signing him to a deal right now could save the team money in the long term, but the front office evidently wants to see how he fares early in the year. Although this route could be costly, having a true No. 1 wide receiver affirm his financial value with top-tier play is a good problem to have.

    After missing last week due to an undisclosed issue, Washington was back on the field Sunday, participating in drills and working in seven-on-sevens. Whatever he was dealing with doesn’t appear to be anything too serious, which is a good sign for the fourth-year receiver who is looking to build on last year’s breakout campaign.

    Washington missed this week due to an undisclosed injury, but it doesn’t sound like this is anything to be too concerned about at this point. The fourth-year receiver is expected to make his return to the field next week and should be in position to be ready for the start of the season. Washington is coming off a breakout year in which he totaled 58 receptions for 847 yards and five touchdowns, and it was reported recently that the Jaguars seem “reluctant” to take him off the field, with some believing Washington has established himself as the WR1 for the Jags. He’s sounding more and more like a reliable WR2/WR3 as we enter prime fantasy draft season.
  • JAC Wide Receiver #11
    DiRocco indicates that Washington is staying on the field for both 12 personnel and 11 personnel packages. He and WR Jakobi Meyers have reportedly led the position group in snaps this summer. Although Washington is dealing with an undisclosed injury at the moment, he is expected to return next week. DiRocco said on Tuesday that Washington has “established himself” as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver, which lines up with what we’ve been hearing all spring and summer.

    49ers ruled out Kyle Juszczyk (knee) in Week 4 against the Broncos.

    Juszczyk suffered what looked to be a serious knee injury in the fourth quarter and didn’t return to the game after being helped off the field. He would constitute an outsized loss for Kyle Shanahan’s offense, particularly his run game designs. A long-term absence for the trusted Shanny fullback could be something of a blow for Christian McCaffrey’s weekly prospects.

    Tyquan Thornton (ankle) was carted from the field in the fourth quarter of Week 4’s game against the Raiders.

    Thornton was in the midst of a big day. After already scoring two touchdowns, the former second-rounder hauled in a 55-yard catch from Patrick Mahomes and suffered a gruesome ankle injury when he was tackled by Treydan Stukes. Thornton attempted to stand up and celebrate the big play, only to notice the injury, and immediately went down before being carted from the field. This has the look of a season-ending injury for Thornton, who caught 5-of-8 targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns on the day.

    Malachi Fields caught 2-of-3 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the Giants’ Week 4 win over the Cardinals.

    Fields has now caught exactly two passes in each of his first four NFL appearances. His 12-yard touchdown was the first of his career. Jameis Winston was flushed from the pocket and found Fields on the run. The duo later connected on a similar play for a non-scoring 40-yard grab. Today was the first time Winston showed any signs of life in place of Jaxson Dart, though Fields is still going to be a tough sell WR4 in this depressed offensive environment.

    Tyler Higbee caught 5-of-6 targets for 67 yards in the Rams’ Week 4 victory over the Eagles.

    One of only two healthy Rams tight ends, Higbee was the Rams’ clear-cut No. 3 passing-game weapon behind a returning Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. There’s a huge gulf between the Rams’ wideouts and Higbee, but he should be able to provide TE2 streamer value for the next several weeks, including Week 5 against the Bills.

    Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quadricep) is inactive for Week 4 against the Lions.

    This was though to be the most likely scenario after head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that the team would elevate Ja’Seem Reed if the belief was that Coker could not go on Sunday Night Football. Reed was, in fact, elevated Saturday and Coker was declared inactive. Brycen Tremaine appears to be in line for a featured role after playing 81 percent of the team’s offensive snaps a week ago. Expect John Metchie to also see additional snaps and opportunities, while David Moore could see package usage on the perimeter. Also inactive for the Panthers are TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, QB Haynes King, G Damien Lewis, OT Albert Reese, and DT Cam Jackson.

    Will Shipley rushed six times for 23 yards in the Eagles’ Week 4 loss to the Rams.

    Shipley was the carries understudy to Tank Bigsby after Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury on the game’s second series, though they played a near-even amount of snaps. Bigsby, who himself has been nursing an abdomen issue, was also banged up late. Needless to say, this is a backfield that is going to require many updates between now and Week 5. Hopefully we have a little clarity before waivers bids are due overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Even if Bigsby is declared fine, Shipley is certainly worth an addition.

    Tank Bigsby rushed 14 times for 55 yards in the Eagles’ Week 4 loss to the Rams.

    Bigsby and Will Shipley were in a near-even snaps rotation after Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury on the game’s second series, though Bigsby predictably handled the early-down mail. He out-carried Shipley 14-6. That is until he departed late with injury. Updates were scarce, but a player who has already dealing with an “abdomen” issue will be no sure thing to practice on Wednesday. With Barkley likely headed for at least a one-week absence, Bigsby’s health will be critical to monitor. Both he and Shipley are worth waivers bids.

    Christian Watson caught all three of his targets for 47 yards in the Packers’ Week 4 win over the Bucs.

    After scoring four touchdowns over the first three weeks, Watson finally cooled off with his first quiet game of the year. Jordan Love couldn’t get the deep ball going in this game and funneled the short targets to Tucker Kraft and Matthew Golden, leaving Watson without much to do. For a player known for having a low floor, 47 yards is a stunningly reasonable floor game. Watson is simply too good at picking up chunk gains to have the bottom truly fall out. He remains a boom/bust WR2 for his Week 5 date with the Bears.

    Pat Bryant was carted off with an apparent leg injury in Week 4 against the 49ers.

    He’s questionable to return. Bryant took a big hit over the middle on a second half reception against the Niners and was down on the turf for some time before being helped onto the cart. Looking dejected, Bryant was taken to the locker room. The oft-injured Bryant could be facing yet another extended absence. That would likely boost playing time and targets for Courtland Sutton and possibly Marvin Mims.

    Lions declared G Ben Bartch, S Bishop Fitzgerald, LB Devin White, TE Tyler Conklin, DL Mekhi Wingo, and EDGE Ahmed Hassanein inactive for Week 4 against the Panthers.

    No surprises here as these are the same inactives as in Week 3. The Lions look to improve to 3-1 against the 1-2 Panthers on the road on Sunday Night Football.
