Podcast1137: 15 Transactions for Week 5October 6, 2026

From the episode

I'm still into Parker Washington though. He's still top 20 among wide receivers in route share this season. And despite his poor week 4 performance, our expected PPR points model still has Washington as a top 15 wide receiver.

Positive signalProjection

Zachariason's model keeps Washington as top-15 WR despite week 4 collapse.

Despite a rough week 4 (13% target share, 2 PPR points vs. Cincinnati), JJ Zachariason remains bullish on Parker Washington. Washington is top 20 in route share this season and above average in the percentage of routes run with 2 or fewer receivers on field—an environment that drives hyper-targeting and efficiency. Zachariason's expected PPR points model still ranks Washington as a top 15 wide receiver, suggesting the week 4 dud was an outlier.
