Parker Washington vs Corey Kiner fantasy football start decision, Digi Mart USA News: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington leads the team with 55 targets, 493 receiving yards and five touchdown catches. He is a WR2 in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday’s trip to the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed a league-high 40.7 PPR points per game to wide receivers through Week 9.
Washington has drawn at least seven targets in three of his last four games after reaching that mark once in his first four. The exception was the 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts, when Trevor Lawrence threw 14 passes and Washington drew two targets.
He led Jacksonville with seven targets four days later against the Baltimore Ravens, catching two passes for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Jakobi Meyers (ankle) drew six targets against Baltimore and missed Wednesday’s practice. On the 50-yard score, Washington lined up in the slot and cut across the safety as Baltimore sent an all-out blitz.
Six of Washington’s 10 red-zone targets have come in his last four games, and he has scored three touchdowns over that same stretch.
New England Patriots running back Corey Kiner carried eight times for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 45-27 loss to Green Bay. Kiner took on a larger role after Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) left in the second half, finishing with a team-high 6.9 yards per carry.
TreVeyon Henderson (illness) was also unavailable, leaving New England thin at running back.
Kiner did much of his damage late in the loss, so his workload is still something to watch. Lan Larison could also see touches, especially on passing downs.
With the Patriots facing Detroit in Week 10, Kiner could be in line for a starting role if Stevenson and Henderson remain out. That possibility makes him one of the more interesting running backs to target on waivers this week.
