Brian Thomas Jr. is Blanked in Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was unable to make an impact during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Coming into this game, Thomas hasn't made much of an impact, but the 24-year-old was completely shut out in this one. Thomas failed to haul in any of his three targets during the victory over Philly. His role in the passing game is quickly being reduced, with only six combined targets over the last three games. This season, Thomas has recorded nine receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown in five games. The third-year wideout desperately needs a bounce-back game against the Houston Texans in Week 6.

Parker Washington Explodes for Two Touchdowns in Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington delivered his biggest game of the 2026 season Sunday, catching six of nine targets for 124 yards and two touchdowns in a 19-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in London. He put Jacksonville on the board with a 51-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter, then made a spectacular one-handed, 27-yard touchdown grab on fourth-and-5 with 3:20 remaining to give the Jaguars a 16-14 lead. Washington accounted for both of Trevor Lawrence's touchdown passes and recorded the first multi-touchdown receiving game of his career. The performance came just one week after he managed one catch for seven yards on three targets against Cincinnati. Washington has now caught 22 passes for 352 yards and four touchdowns on 35 targets through five games, building on his 847-yard campaign in 2025. He deserves WR2 consideration heading into another London matchup with Houston in Week 6, although his uneven target totals remain something for fantasy managers to watch.

Travis Hunter No Longer a Fantasy Option on Offense
Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has shifted to playing almost entirely on defense, which means he no longer has fantasy appeal in non-IDP leagues. For the first time this year, Hunter didn't play a single offensive snap in Week 4. Instead, he played a whopping 76% of the defensive snaps, logging four tackles for the third game in a row. That's not to say that Hunter won't get involved on offense again in the future, but for now, his main focus is clearly defense. We shouldn't necessarily be too surprised by this development, since Hunter was better at defense in college, and the Jaguars already have a deep receiver room. Even if the Jags do give the 23-year-old some offensive reps going forward, he'd likely operate behind Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr., and Jakobi Meyers, while also competing for volume with rookie Josh Cameron. Dynasty managers find themselves in a difficult position, as they drafted Hunter with a premium pick less than 18 months ago, but it's now tough to justify having him occupy a roster spot in non-IDP fantasy football leagues.

Brian Thomas Jr. Touchdown Dependent Against Eagles
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is showing no signs of turning things around heading into Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles in London. Thomas did score a touchdown last week, but has not been very involved overall in the Jacksonville offense. After earning nine targets in Week 2, he has just three targets combined in the last two games. He has also hovered around a 50% snap share all season. Until the Jaguars show they want Thomas to be involved in the offense more and at least be the second passing option behind Parker Washington, he is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. He's worth keeping on rosters in deeper leagues at least, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere in Week 5 to fill out their fantasy lineups.

Jakobi Meyers a Solid FLEX Option Despite Nagging Thumb Injury
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thumb) practiced fully all week and is good to go for a Week 5 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles in London. The veteran receiver has emerged as Trevor Lawrence's second-favorite target over four games, making him a reasonable FLEX play in Week 5. Brian Thomas Jr. has continued to disappoint, while Parker Washington has emerged as Lawrence's top target. Meyers has had only one standout game so far this season, in Week 3 against his former team, but he is involved enough in a potent offense to be a viable option. Overall, he has 13 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns across four games in 2026. Lawrence spreads the ball around; Meyers should remain a reliable WR3/FLEX and is WR38 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 5.

Parker Washington a Big Bounce-Back Candidate in Week 5
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is looking to rebound against the Philadelphia Eagles in London after a quiet Week 4 performance. The Cincinnati Bengals held the breakout star to just one catch, but in the first three games, he had 15 catches (on 23 targets) for 221 yards and two scores. Liam Coen will surely be looking to make Washington the focal point of the offense once more given how well he performed to start the season. Another factor from last week's dud is that the Bengals are notoriously bad at defending tight ends, which led Brenton Strange to have a huge day with seven catches for 95 yards. It's hard to imagine Strange leading the team in receiving again any time soon. Fantasy managers should still view Washington as a high-end WR2 in Week 5 against a vulnerable Eagles defense, and chalk up last week's disappointment as an anomaly rather than a true concern.

Brian Thomas Jr. Is Playing a Smaller Role in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and racked up 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, but he has fallen into a smaller role in coach Liam Coen's offense for the last two seasons and has become a drop candidate in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Thomas has only totaled nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown through the first four games of the season, playing well behind WRs Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers and ranking fourth on the team in targets behind TE Brenton Strange as well. Thomas only had three targets in the last two weeks combined, and his reduced role makes him hard to trust unless there is an injury or he is traded to a new team with more targets available. He still has the skills to give him upside and is on the field, but he's not getting enough targets right now to be an option you have to hold on to in standard-sized leagues.

Josh Cameron a Deep-League Option as Role Continues to Solidify
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Josh Cameron continues to see his role grow early in his rookie season. After catching two touchdowns through his first three games, Cameron hit another milestone in Week 4 with a career-high 42 receiving yards. He has now played at least 33% of the offensive snaps in three of his four games so far. That's not a very large snap share by any means, but it's still a solid mark for a rookie, and it indicates that he'd be the next man up to handle a much larger role if any of Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, or Brian Thomas Jr. were to miss time. He's particularly appealing ahead of the upcoming trade deadline, as Thomas' name continues to come up as a trade candidate. If the Jaguars do move on from Thomas, it would be a clear sign that they believe Cameron is capable of handling increased responsibilities on offense. We've already seen him strengthen his rapport with Trevor Lawrence, and he's an intriguing option on the waiver wire, especially given the positive state of Jacksonville's offense.

Jakobi Meyers Offers Upside as Jaguars Head to London
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been the team's second WR this season and is in a pair of favorable matchups the next two weeks. He has actually played more snaps than any other WR for the Jags, although Parker Washington is getting more targets. Meyers has two touchdowns in his four games this season and has 10 catches for 97 yards in the last two weeks in wins over the Patriots and Bengals. He can be a deep-league FLEX option in the next two weeks as the Jaguars face the Eagles and the Texans in their two games in London. Both the Eagles and Texans rank in the top 10 in most fantasy points allowed to receivers this season, and Meyers is involved enough to bring upside from the waiver wire if you need short-term help at the position due to bye weeks or injuries.

Parker Washington Held to One Catch Against Bengals
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington was held to just one catch on three targets for seven scoreless yards in a 22-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. These were obviously all season-lows for Washington in 2026 thus far. It was a highly disappointing effort from Washington for fantasy managers with the breakout wide receiver in their lineups, but the Jaguars managed to get a win despite his lack of production. Tight end Benton Strange led Jacksonville in receptions (seven) and receiving yards (95) on Sunday, while wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. caught quarterback Trevor Lawrence's lone touchdown pass on the day. Through four games, Washington leads the Jaguars in receptions with 16 on the season, and he has recorded two receiving touchdowns. He will continue to be heavily involved in the passing game moving forward. Expect Washington to bounce back in a Week 5 matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles in London.

Brian Thomas Jr. Remains a Very Risky Option in Fantasy Football
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is enduring a very frustrating start to the season, and he belongs on the bench in most fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 4 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Thomas has played less than 38% of the snaps in two of three games so far. He also has three or fewer catches in every game, and three or fewer targets in two of three games. Not only have Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers played significantly more than Thomas, but rookie Josh Cameron is also threatening his spot on the depth chart after catching two touchdown passes through the first three weeks. At this point, fantasy managers are probably begging for the Jaguars to trade Thomas so that he can get a change of scenery and play somewhere with a more reliable path to immediate production. For now, as long as Thomas remains a Jaguar, he can be benched in most fantasy leagues. This week's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the 17th-most fantasy points to wide receivers, doesn't represent a glaring opportunity for Thomas to break out of his struggles, either.

Jakobi Meyers Looking to Build Off Last Week's Big Game
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is trending up in fantasy football. After catching just three passes through the first two weeks, Meyers exploded with seven catches, 64 yards, and one touchdown last Sunday against his old team, the New England Patriots. Parker Washington is still the top Jaguars receiver in fantasy football, but Meyers' big performance in Week 3 has cemented him as a strong WR3/flex option going forward. Meyers ranks first in the NFL in target separation against man coverage this year, and he also ranks first in quarterback rating when targeted. The underlying metrics suggest that Meyers should have a much bigger role than he has occupied this season, so we don't think that his big Week 3 was any sort of fluke. This week, he'll also benefit from a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, whose pass defense has been nothing special. Cincinnati ranks near the middle of the league with the 15th-fewest fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2026.

Parker Washington Finds Himself in Must-Start Territory for Week 4
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington should be started in all fantasy football leagues ahead of Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Washington is enjoying a terrific start to the season, ranking as the overall WR11 with 15 catches, 221 yards, and two touchdowns through three weeks. We knew Washington was headed for a breakout season this year, but he's still exceeding expectations as the clear-cut top fantasy receiver in Jacksonville. Not only has he been a top target for Trevor Lawrence, but he's also a must-start receiver in fantasy football, regardless of matchup. We have no concerns whatsoever about his matchup this week against the Bengals, who rank near the middle of the league with the 17th-most fantasy points allowed to wide receivers in 2026. Washington is an undisputed fantasy WR2 with WR1 upside.

Brian Thomas Jr. Continues to Draw Trade Interest
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. continues to draw interest from teams around the league, according to ESPN. Clubs have reportedly checked on Thomas since the offseason, though Jacksonville told teams at the time that it wasn't interested in moving the 2024 first-round pick. That stance may not have changed. Still, Thomas has been much quieter than Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers through three games, catching seven passes for 88 yards with no touchdowns. His role shrunk considerably against New England on Sunday, when he played only 23 offensive snaps and caught one pass for eight yards. ESPN expects teams to continue asking about Thomas as the trade deadline approaches, but it would reportedly take a strong offer for Jacksonville to consider moving him.

Parker Washington Carrying Momentum from Strong 2025 Finish
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has continued to build on his strong finish to the 2025 season. Over three games, Washington has caught 15 of 23 targets for 221 yards and two touchdowns, averaging just under 14 half-PPR fantasy points per game. When combined with his last four games from last season, his seven-game average would be 96 receiving yards, five touchdowns, and 16.8 half-PPR fantasy points per game. With Brian Thomas Jr. being phased out of the Jaguars' passing game and Trevor Lawrence looking like a potential MVP candidate, Washington should continue to produce solid fantasy numbers. He faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4, where he should be listed as a high-end WR2.
