Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

The profile reads like a player still searching for a foothold. Across five games in 2025 Washington ran just 94 routes, a 16.5% route rate that capped his target share at 2.7% and a 0.149 targets-per-route mark that never translated into volume. He hauled in 6 of 14 looks for 94 yards and no scores, a 42.9% catch rate dragged down by a sky-high 18.71 air yards per target. The efficiency flickers were real, though: a 0.266 EPA per play and a 1.00 yards-per-route-run hint at downfield juice on a tiny sample.

The role is the problem. Stuck deep on the Atlanta depth chart and recently a healthy scratch, he carries no guaranteed targets and an ECR near pick 574. A favorable late-season schedule offers nothing if he can't crack the rotation. Treat him as a watch-list dart, not a draftable asset, until the snap share climbs out of the teens.
