Washington's involvement after the Jakobi Meyers trade is the best argument for drafting him: 4.3 catches, 74 yards, and 0.43 touchdowns per game on 6.3 targets across Weeks 11 to 18, translating to 12.0 fantasy points per game in a significant role. He finished with 58-847-5 on 95 targets in 16 games. The underlying metrics back the potential. His PFF route grade (90th percentile) and YPRR (87th percentile) are among the stronger profiles in the sample, and his 86th-percentile contested catch rate and 85th-percentile avoided tackle rate confirm he can win at the point of attack and create after contact. The ESPN YAC score (85th percentile) and 65th-percentile OVERALL show a receiver who makes plays when given the opportunity. The 12.0 PPG sample wasn't a fluke against soft competition: it was a productive 23-year-old receiver finally given a starting role in an offense with a capable quarterback.
