A bunch of slot targets might be just the thing that saves Parker Washington from another letdown, operating as the nominal No. 1 target in a Liam Coen offense seemingly designed to drive fantasy folks insane.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Washington's slot role and Eagles' slot vulnerability offer bounce-back potential despite run funnel risk.

Washington leads the Jaguars with a 45 percent route rate and operates as the nominal No. 1 target in a Liam Coen offense; he's done much of his damage on slot targets from Trevor Lawrence. Against Philadelphia in Week 5, the Eagles rank 19th in adjusted yards per target on slot looks and 20th in accuracy on such throws, creating a favorable matchup for slot-heavy receivers. However, the Eagles are a clear run funnel defense that could limit volume for Washington and the rest of the Jags' pass catchers.
