Should You Start or Sit Washington in Week 17?
Is Washington just #good at the game?
Sunday was the fourth time since the beginning of November that he reached 17 PPR points, an admirable accomplishment when you consider the talent around him with Travis Etienne running well and three pass catchers next to him drawing attention from Trevor Lawrence.
His touchdown last week came at the end of the first quarter with Ja’Quan McMillan draped all over him. The acrobatic catch was impressive, but I’m more encouraged by Lawrence looking his way on a vertical shot, noticing that the defender was in position, but not in such a way that he would be able to see the ball, and trusting his WR3 to make a play.
There was also a DPI that he forced in the end and a 63-yard catch-and-run where his quick cut/YAC skills were on full display.
I’d be surprised if a 28.6% target share were available again this week, and that obviously introduces risk. He benefited from Denver making a point of shifting resources to Brian Thomas (three targets) and Jakobi Meyers (45 yards on his eight looks): The Colts don’t have the personnel to approach this Jags offense similarly.
I’m OK with you wanting to plug in Washington over players like Xavier Worthy, Quentin Johnston, and Rashid Shaheed, but I’d stop short of giving him the nod over a Troy Franklin type.
