Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jaguars' Josh Reynolds: Three targets Week 18
Reynolds secured one of three targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.
The 29-year-old operated as Jacksonville's No. 3 wide receiver and caught his first pass since being claimed off waivers from the Broncos in early December, but he had a minor role in the passing game. Reynolds totaled 13 receptions for 194 yards and one touchdown in nine games between Denver and Jacksonville this season. He's under contract for $3.99 million for next season but may not be retained by the Jaguars since that money isn't guaranteed.

Parker Washington WR | JAC
Jaguars' Parker Washington: Finds end zone in finale
Washington caught two of four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.
The 2023 sixth-round pick had a quiet day overall but found the end zone in the fourth quarter on a nine-yard pass from Mac Jones. Washington didn't see much action early in the season but took on a larger role due to injuries in the receiving corps, and he finished the campaign with 32 receptions for 390 yards and three touchdowns. Rookie Brian Thomas ended the season as Jacksonville's only consistent producer in the passing game, and Washington is unlikely to enter training camp as much more than the team's third or fourth wideout.
