Parker Washington vs Xavier Worthy: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Parker Washington and Xavier Worthy is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver put up 9.7 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Xavier Worthy of the Kansas City Chiefs averaged 6.3 in 14. A 3.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 3.4 points favors Parker Washington, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Parker Washington turned 95 targets into 847 yards and 5 touchdowns, while Xavier Worthy converted 73 looks into 532 yards and 1 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One scheduling note: Parker Washington is off Week 12 and Xavier Worthy Week 6. 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.
