With Jacksonville seeking to ramp up its 12 personnel usage under Liam Coen, Parker Washington possesses the positional versatility to earn target share after playing 264 slot snaps as well as extensive perimeter reps. His elite 18.5 Breakout Age (96th percentile) and impressive 2.20 Yards Per Route Run (No. 16) point to high-level efficiency in a full-time role.
If Washington secures snaps in tight-end heavy packages, he will offer fantasy WR2 upside with a dependable every-week starter floor that high-stakes fantasy league managers crave. PlayerProfiler is ahead of consensus on Washington ranking him at WR31 for redraft and WR33 in best ball formats.

Travis Hunter is working his way back from a 2025 knee injury and is expected to be a full go for the beginning of training camp, according to Wolfe. The 23-year-old is still going to play both sides of the ball, though Wolfe stated Hunter can be “unleashed” as a starter on defense and “the goal is to eventually have him play nearly all the snaps on defense in a particular game.”
The Jaguars seem to like Hunter much better as a cornerback but he will still play offense with his wide receiver snaps fluctuating depending on the game. Hunter is attending meetings for both sides of the ball and will presumably practice both sides come training camp. He is expected to be healthy and ready to go by the time Jags veterans report to training camp in late July. Hunter is the ultimate boom-bust, upside-only fantasy draft target in fantasy football best ball, dynasty, and seasonal league formats.
Most recently, Trevor Lawrence said he and Brian Thomas Jr. have “taken a huge step” toward improving their on-field chemistry, and ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe reports that Thomas will be used “on vertical routes” in 2026.
If Jacksonville plans to expand its deep passing game, the Jaguars will have to lean directly into a rejuvenated Thomas. He is impressing coaches and teammates by commanding separation at minicamp after a muted sophomore season containing just 9.9 Fantasy Points Per Game (No. 42).
Thomas faces target competition from teammate Jakobi Meyers, and especially Parker Washington, who earned an impressive +19.6-percent Target Premium (No. 15) and a 124.0 Total Route Win Rate (No. 4) last year. Despite the crowded wide receiver room, Thomas’ vertical profile makes him an absolute best ball bargain at his current depressed draft day cost.
Travis Hunter is recovering from a late-season LCL tear that truncated his rookie year to just seven games, leaving head coach Liam Coen uncertain about his timeline to be a full participant in practice. The Jaguars’ sophomore weapon showcased a diverse profile during his limited debut, operating as a true two-way player at wide receiver and cornerback.
Fantasy managers monitoring this offense will need to track his camp availability, as his recovery dictates whether he can build on a rookie campaign where he secured 28 receptions for 298 yards. Even when healthy, Jacksonville coaches also want Hunter to focus on cornerback duties. He should be avoided in fantasy football, and Hunter is a sell low candidate in dynasty leagues while he still has brand equity.
Brian Thomas Jr. played through upper and lower body injuries during a muted sophomore campaign, resulting in a low 9.9 Fantasy Points Per Game profile. He still captured a 30.8-percent Air Yards Share and recorded 23 deep targets while adjusting to a new offensive landscape.
With multiple clean-up procedures completed this offseason, a return to full health positionally creates a strong rebound opportunity within Jacksonville’s vertical attack. Thomas is an attractive post-hype sleeper in both best ball and dynasty league formats.
Recent trade rumors linked Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to the Philadelphia Eagles in a potential blockbuster deal involving Eagles star A.J. Brown. Rumors suggested Jacksonville would package Thomas with a draft pick to upgrade their receiving corps, though the team has previously dismissed similar trade reports.
Critics point out that Brown, who is heavily linked to New England this summer, would conflict with a Jaguars scheme that intentionally avoids using a designated WR1. Furthermore, it would be highly unexpected for Jacksonville to give up on the 23-year-old Thomas after just one down season following a stellar 2024 rookie campaign. Thomas is a strong buy low candidate in dynasty and best ball fantasy football leagues.
