Elic Ayomanor vs Parker WashingtonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Parker Washington is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 10.4 PPG to Elic Ayomanor's 6.0 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Parker Washington is the better fantasy play this season.

Parker Washington has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 4.4-PPG advantage is real (10.4 to 6.0), and Parker Washington's 5 touchdowns show scoring upside. Elic Ayomanor is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Fantasy Tiers

Elic Ayomanor: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Parker Washington: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) WR (ranked #27 at the position). Among the top 50 wide receivers this season, Elic Ayomanor is producing at 27% of elite pace and Parker Washington at 47%. That ranking gap means Parker Washington carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Elic Ayomanor vs Parker Washington: The Full Breakdown

Elic Ayomanor and Parker Washington are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Elic Ayomanor averaged 6.0 PPG across 16 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Parker Washington posted 10.4 PPG in 15 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

A 4.4-PPG gap gives Parker Washington the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Elic Ayomanor turned 89 targets into 515 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Parker Washington converted 95 looks into 847 yards and 5 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Elic Ayomanor is off Week 5 and Parker Washington Week 7. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Parker Washington at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Elic Ayomanor is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Elic Ayomanor (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Parker Washington (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
