Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's WR11 at 16.4 PPR points per game, against 11.5 over 16 games last season (WR27). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 31st of 142 in target volume (17.4% target share), 36th of 142 in downfield role (24.3% air-yards share) and 19th of 142 in efficiency (2.24 yards per route run). His points come from his efficiency. Trevor Lawrence is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Travis Hunter is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchups are the Texans in Week 6 (5th against WRs) and the Colts in Week 8 (9th against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Washington took a real third-year leap, turning 95 targets into 58 catches for 847 yards and five scores across 16 games while posting 126.7 fantasy points and a WR24 rank. That nearly doubled his 2024 line of 51 targets, 390 yards and a WR87 finish, and the underlying usage backed it up: target share jumped from 9.8 to 17.4 percent, WOPR from 0.238 to 0.431, and yards per route run from 1.07 to 2.24. He also stretched the field, ranking high in air yards per target (12.49) while posting a 0.333 EPA per play.
The 2023 sixth-round Penn State pick is now Jacksonville's clearest perimeter option, though seven drops and a 61.1 percent catch rate flag inconsistent hands. With a 17.4 percent target share already established and 14 red-zone looks, he carries a startable floor but a ceiling capped by the offense's pass-volume swings. Draft him as a low-end flex with WR3 upside, not a locked weekly starter.

Knee 5 games
Sustained a knee injury in Week 4 and was subsequently placed on the Injured Reserve list, missing five games.
If Washington Misses Time
Next man up: Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter is next on the Jaguars depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Washington misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Trevor Lawrence would lose one of his main options.
