The Jacksonville Jaguars will visit the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Parker Washington.
Is Washington Playing in Week 16?

Should You Start or Sit Washington in Week 16?
Parker Washington is playing through a hamstring injury and offers a dimension to this Jags offense that seems to have turned a corner. With a 25+ yard reception in three straight in addition to some slot skills, he’s a situational player that Trevor Lawrence is calling on in important spots.
The issue, however, is that he doesn’t have a consistent role. Washington has earned just 15 targets over his past four games and is third, at best, in terms of target hierarchy in this offense that operates with balance in mind.
Brenton Strange has the ability to earn looks and after the huge week from the RBs in the passing game last weekend against the Jets, there’s not enough meat on this bone. If Jakobi Meyers or Brian Thomas were to get banged up this week, Washington would emerge as a sneaky PPR flex against the Colts next week, but outside of that, he’s not worthy of our attention.
