Elic Ayomanor vs Parker Washington: Who Should You Start?
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 9.7 PPG in 16 appearances for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A 3.7-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 12. 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.
