PFF Flags Parker Washington, Josh Downs as Draft Values 20 Spots Above ADP

3 articles · Updated · Pro Football Focus · Aug 17

Summary

  • PFF ranked Parker Washington and Josh Downs at least 20 spots above consensus ADP, highlighting them as undervalued targets with fantasy drafts nearing.
  • Washington closed 2025 with an 85.1 receiving grade — top 10 among wide receivers — and produced 26 catches, 454 yards and three touchdowns over his final four games, including the playoffs.
  • Jacksonville still has a crowded pass-catching group, but Washington is expected to open as one of the Jaguars’ top two wide receivers, giving him upside at an 8.07 ADP despite likely week-to-week volatility.
  • Downs carries an 11.03 ADP after three efficient seasons in the slot, and PFF argues his fantasy ceiling rises if he moves beyond last year’s 58.7% snap share.
  • Indianapolis created that opening by trading Michael Pittman Jr. to Pittsburgh, while Alec Pierce began camp on the PUP list, leaving Downs as the Colts’ top wideout for now; PFF’s 33% off early-bird sale ends Aug. 17.
