        Parker Washington Finds Elevated Week 3 Role

        Jaguars WR Parker Washington drew a team-high 11 targets in Sunday's win over Houston. He managed just 4 catches for 34 yards, ranking second on the team in receptions and third in yards.

        Washington ran the second-most pass routes on the team Sunday, clearly benefiting from Dyami Brown's early departure for a shoulder injury. Washington's 33 routes more than doubled his total for the season (to 51), according to Pro Football Focus. 

        The third-year wideout didn't play particularly well, dropping two of his targets. That hasn't been an overall issue for Washington, though, who dropped just four of 70 targets across his first two seasons, per PFF.

        Brown got ruled out before the end of the game, which bodes ill for his Week 4 chances. It also didn't hurt Washington that Travis Hunter played a large defensive role again while running a route on less than half of Trevor Lawrence's dropbacks.

        Washington's built more like a slot WR than a typical outside guy, but he spent just half his time Sunday in the slot and ran just 39% of his pass snaps from the slot last season.

        If Brown does miss further time, Washington could be a deeper PPR option. His elevated Week 3 role followed a solid 5-76 receiving line (on five targets) in the Week 2 loss at Cincinnati.
