News: 4 hours agoWashington (undisclosed) is taking part in Tuesday's joint practice with the Buccaneers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Spin: The Jaguars labeled Washington as day-to-day last week while he dealt with an undisclosed injury, but he took part in a walk-through session Sunday and is seemingly operating with no restrictions in the first of two joint practices with the Buccaneers this week. Washington made a big play early in Tuesday's session during red-zone drills, outleaping Buccaneers cornerback Jacob Parrish on a lob pass in the end zone.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A strong finish to the 2025 season has made Washington one of the fascinating breakout candidates of 2026. Though he's primarily worked as a situational/depth player since being drafted in the sixth round in 2023, Washington has flashed when asked to play a bigger role. In 21 games since the start of 2024 in which he had a route participation above 50%, Washington handled a 20% target share and averaged 12.2 fantasy PPG. He surprisingly emerged as Jacksonville's top target late last season, which included a stretch of four straight games with at least nine targets and 19 fantasy points to end the season. The 24-year-old appears to have cemented a big role in Jacksonville, though Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr. and perhaps Travis Hunter will battle him for snaps and targets. Washington should be targeted for your flex spot.
