Amon-Ra St. Brown

NegativeProjection0:16

Amon-Ra St. Brown is used as the statistical benchmark for Parker Washington's late-season performance, specifically regarding target share, yards per route run, and first-read share metrics.

Brian Thomas Jr.

NegativeRole0:07

Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to fill the field-stretcher role in the Jacksonville offense, which is not considered a high-volume role for fantasy production, making him a less desirable draft pick compared to high-leverage options like Parker Washington.

Parker Washington

PositiveBreakout0:04

Parker Washington is a high-upside target in round seven, showing elite efficiency during the back half of last season with a 28.9% target share, 3.78 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. He functioned as Jacksonville's version of Amon-Ra St. Brown, maintaining consistency with 18+ fantasy points in five of his final seven games including the playoffs, while also offering explosive playmaking ability with 20+ yard gains and manufactured touches. His usage is distinct from 'dump and run' players like Wan'Dale Robinson, and he is a better fantasy value than Brian Thomas Jr., who is relegated to a lower-volume field-stretcher role.

0:00If you had one single fantasy team, and
0:02I told you you got to draft a Liam Cohen
0:04wide receiver, are you going with Parker
0:06Washington or you going with a bounce
0:08back year from BTJ?
0:10>> I'm going with Parker Washington, and
0:11there is no hesitation for me. Parker
0:13Washington was basically Jacksonville's
0:16Amon-Ra St. Brown down the back half of
0:18last year. But Parker Washington's not
0:20going to be the field stretcher. Jakobi
0:21Meyers is not a field stretcher. So
0:23Brian Thomas Jr. is going to fill that
0:25role, and that's not a high volume role.
0:27Then why are we like dismissive or
0:29questioning Parker Washington? Because
0:32it wasn't just like he was this like
0:33dump and run Wan'Dale Robinson of
0:35Jacksonville. He was getting usage and
0:38high leverage usage like weeks 6 through
0:4019. Everybody brings up this stretch,
0:42and they talk about
0:43>> [music]
0:43>> he had a 28.9% target share. He had 3.78
0:46yards per route run. He had a 33.3%
0:49first read share. Those are all Amon-Ra
0:51type of numbers.
0:52>> [music]
0:52>> Insane usage. He also had six red zone
0:55targets. He also had 13 deep zone deep
0:57targets.
0:58>> You bring up like the Amon-Ra St. Brown
1:00thing, it was consistent. And if you
1:02include the playoffs, it was five out of
1:04the last seven games he had 18 points or
1:06more. [music]
1:06So it was not like some big 35-point
1:08blowup week that like influenced this
1:10this point per game number. The guy's
1:11very explosive. I think like, you know,
1:13you you ask somebody what what's what is
1:15Parker Washington, they sort of
1:17gravitate towards the like the slot
1:18usage. Uh he had a ton of explosive uh
1:21plays that went for 20-plus yards, and
1:24they've talked about getting the ball in
1:25his hands and some manufactured touches
1:27touches as well. So Parker Washington,
1:29when he's there in round seven, really
1:31really really interesting value.
