Parker Washington Questionable For Week 14Jaguars WR Parker Washington (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend s game vs. the Colts. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Washington would be a tough fantasy start at less than 100%. His absence would leave behind a few extra targets for WRs Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Brenton Strange.

Parker Washington (hip) returned to practice Thursday.Washington sustained a hip injury in week 13 and did not return versus the Titans. A DNP for Wednesday's practice put him on the wrong side of questionable to open the week. His return today gives him a shot at suiting up for Week 14. Washington will retain his slot duties if active, but the Jags' receiver room is a bit crowded now with Brian Thomas Jr. healthy and Jakobi Meyers in the fold. Washington will sit in the WR5 ranks if he suits up versus the Colts.
Jakobi Meyers caught all six of his targets for 90 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' Week 13 win over the Titans.Meyers operated as the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver, despite Brian Thomas Jr. returning to the lineup. He led Jags pass-catchers in targets, receptions, yards, and snaps on the day. Meyers first took a slant 50 yards in the first quarter, getting tackled inside the ten-yard line. He caught the touchdown a few plays later. In a blowout victory, Meyers and the pass-catchers were not needed much in the second half. With Parker Washington suffering a hip/abdomen injury this game, Meyers could be playing from the slot more moving forward. He is in the fantasy WR3 range for Week 14 against the Colts.
Brian Thomas Jr. caught 2-of-3 targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' Week 13 win over the Titans.Thomas returned from his ankle injury to play a sizable 47-of-63 snaps against the Titans. He was third on the team in targets, trailing Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange. The Jaguars blew out the Titans in the win, so passing volume was low, though fantasy managers are likely not thrilled looking at his three total targets. The second-year receiver still has inconsistent rapport with Trevor Lawrence and may be falling behind Meyers in the pass-catching pecking order. Another week to work back from the ankle injury will perhaps show more; Thomas is a low-end fantasy WR2 for Week 14 against a Colts team likely missing Sauce Gardner.
