Jaguars WR Parker Washington racked up 6 catches for 145 yards and a TD in Sunday's decisive win over the Broncos. He led the team in catches, yards, and targets (10) despite ranking just fourth in pass routes. Washington's 70.5% route rate trailed WR Jakobi Meyers (95.5%), WR Brian Thomas Jr. (84.1%), and TE Brenton Strange (72.7%).
That marked a boost from Washington's 53.8% route share in the Week 15 win over the Jets, but we can likely expect his rate to hover in that range over the next two weeks.
Washington benefited Sunday from facing a Denver defense tougher at the outside corner spots than in the slot. That surely contributed to -- and likely drove -- Washington's two-target edge over Meyers and seven-target lead over Thomas. He also clearly benefited from QB Trevor Lawrence's continued high-level play.
That latter factor keeps Washington available as a deep-league option the next two weeks. But significantly softer secondaries for both the Colts and Titans figure to challenge Jacksonville's passing game less.
The Jaguars could also lean run a bit more in those matchups. Lawrence's 36 pass attempts against the Broncos were his most in a game since Week 7.
Don't bet on Washington landing in typical starter territory of our WR rankings the next two weeks. This marked just the second game among his past six in which he caught more than three passes. The other was the Arizona game that Brian Thomas Jr. missed.
