Parker Washington was a must-play wide receiver for Week 3; Davis Mattek stated that 'if you didn't play Parker Washington, you got to find a new hobby,' indicating he was a clear-cut elite option with strong performance that should have been in all lineups. However, later analysis revealed Washington was marginal chalk with 12% ownership despite only 3 targets on 42 routes; his projection was good but not great, making him overowned relative to his optimal probability and a poor DFS value.

PositiveBreakoutJun 27, 2026
Mattek makes a bullcase for Parker Washington centered on coaching staff enthusiasm, a strong connection with Trevor Lawrence similar to Brian Thomas Jr.'s rapport with Mac Jones, and the team's apparent view of him as a positive asset. Mattek positions Washington as a year-three breakout candidate with Russell Gage as the closest comp; he can eat up volume on a passing-heavy Jaguars offense, is young (same age as Lad McConkey), was an early enrollee at Penn State, and is expected to play in 11 personnel. The main uncertainty is competition with Jacoby Myers in 12 personnel, but Washington has film pedigree and opportunity, distinguishing him from unproven downfield options.

Honest to goodness, I really don't.' However, despite this dislike, Mattek plans to draft him due to FOMO: 'But I am so scared of missing out when a bunch of other smart people are on him. And so I I will sadly be drafting him.' Washington is identified as Chess Liam's biggest player take this year.
