# John Shipley: Shipley argues Parker Washington has taken over as the Jaguars' No. 1 receiver and will be the passing game's primary target going forward. **Claimed:** Sep 21, 2026 **Pundit:** John Shipley — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/john-shipley **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/onsi/jacksonville-3-overreactions-after-week-2-loss-to-broncos-the-travis-hunter-debate One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > it is Washington who has looked like the No. 1 receiver since the offseason program *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Parker Washington — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/parker-washington - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars ## What others said about the same people - Nathan Jahnke on Ameer Abdullah: An unsigned PFF preseason recap makes numerous depth-chart, roster and usage projections across the league, based on Week 3 preseason playing time — including Roman Wilson winning Pittsburgh's third receiver job, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Charlie Kolar as the Chargers' top tight end, and Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/47566b48-8024-4960-b25c-11c03fe43543 (scored 100) - Carter Bahns on Ameer Abdullah: A CBS Sports piece names 20 notable veterans it considers at risk of being cut before the 53-man roster deadline, with several pegged for the practice squad or outright release, and also sketches a few depth-chart pecking orders (Titans QBs, Panthers tight ends, Texans receivers, Eagles backfield). — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/94f49c83-2307-4f25-b10c-b1cba9df5dbc (scored 0) - Nick Wright on Jacksonville Jaguars: Amid a slate of against-the-spread picks, Wright makes a few outright calls: Jacksonville beats Denver straight up, Carolina wins at Atlanta, and he reiterates that he picked Denver to make the playoffs despite his concerns after their Week 1 loss.
