James Washington Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver James Washington has been released by the organization on Sunday. It looks like Washington was the odd man out as the Falcons needed to cut someone to add safety Justin Simmons to the roster. At this point, Washington is nothing more than depth on any NFL roster. His best season came in 2019 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Washington recorded 44 receptions, 735 receiving yards and three touchdowns during that season. Since then, Washington has regressed appears to be nothing more than a back-end depth option. He could land elsewhere before the season begins, but Washington is unlikely to make a big impact anywhere.

The Falcons signed former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington on Monday. After spending his first four seasons in Pittsburgh and one year with the Cowboys, Washington was out of the league in 2023. In 2022, Washington only played in two games and did not record a statistic. His best season came in 2019 when he caught 44 passes for 735 yards and three touchdowns. Washington was an important depth piece for the Steelers during his tenure. The Falcons have a crowded wide receiver room with Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud III, and Rondale Moore, who are all currently ahead of Washington on the depth chart. This signing is of little consequence to fantasy. Hopefully, Washington will have a chance to make the team, but it is not on the fantasy radar in 2024.

Veteran wide receiver James Washington, who is currently a free agent, will attempt to make a comeback, according to a post on his personal Instagram account. Washington is best known for his time in Pittsburgh, but he also worked around injuries to play in two games with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022. The former second-round pick's list of injuries included a Jones fracture, which required surgery. Washington looked to play in the NFL in 2023 but was cut by both the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts last August. Ultimately, while Washington has received steady NFL interest, his last meaningful contributions at the pro level came in 2021 when he caught 24 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns. Fast forward three years and Washington is looking to rejuvenate his career. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler notes that multiple teams have inquired about Washington. However, he remains off the fantasy radar for the time being.

The Indianapolis Colts released wide receiver James Washington on Monday, according to a league source. Washington signed with the Colts during training camp but obviously didn't do enough in the short time he was with the team to earn a roster spot heading into the 2023 regular season. The former second-round selection of the Pittsburgh Steelers back in 2018 out of Oklahoma State was unable to secure his only target in two games played with the Dallas Cowboys in 2022 after four seasons in Pittsburgh to begin his career. Washington's best season came in 2019, when he had 44 receptions for 735 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games (10 starts). He will now look to join another team as receiver depth for the 2023 campaign.

The Indianapolis Colts have reached an agreement with wide receiver James Washington on a one-year deal. The 27-year-old signed with the Dallas Cowboys last season, but barely saw any playing time while battling a foot injury. Washington joined the New Orleans Saints this offseason, but was cut a few weeks into training camp. It appears he has found a new home with the Colts. It looks like he has an uphill battle to make the Colts 53-man roster. At best, Washington will be a depth option, so he can be ignored in most fantasy formats going forward.

The New Orleans Saints released wide receiver James Washington on Tuesday. Washington joined the Saints as a free-agent earlier in the offseason but failed to catch either of his targets in his team's first preseason game last week. He will now look to catch on with his fourth NFL team since the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him back in 2018. The Saints will open the season with Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Rashid Shaheed atop their depth chart while rookie A.T. Perry will look to carve out a role.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington is signing with the New Orleans Saints on a one-year deal. The Oklahoma State alumni played in just two games last season with Dallas thanks to a preseason foot injury but did catch any passes. In 60 games with the Steelers, he hauled in 114 passes for 1,629 yards and 11 touchdowns. While Washington won't carry much fantasy value immediately, he could be sprung into action if Michael Thomas suffers another injury. Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, A.T. Perry, and Tre'Quan Smith round out the Saints' wideout room.

Free-agent wide receiver James Washington is scheduled to visit with the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The 27-year-old was only able to play in two games last season due to injury. He was waived late in the season by the Dallas Cowboys and was brought in to the New York Giants practice squad. There doesn't seem to be much interest for the former second round pick right now. He was a decent contributor during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could be a nice depth option, but it's unlikely he'll have weekly fantasy value in New Orleans.

The New York Giants signed former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington to their practice squad on Wednesday. Washington was expected to have a significant role in Dallas' passing game to begin the year, but he fractured his right foot in training camp and didn't make his season debut until Week 14 and ended up playing in two games for the Cowboys, finishing without a catch on one target. Dallas picked up veteran T.Y. Hilton late in the year and didn't really have a need for Washington at that point. New York's receiver depth is lacking, but even if the 26-year-old Washington is brought up to the active roster for the postseason, he's highly unlikely to see much action on the field.

With the emergence of newly signed Dallas Cowboys receiver T.Y. Hilton, the team released receiver James Washington on Wednesday, according to a source. Washington is healthy and has played in two games for the Cowboys this year, but he'll head to waivers and could very well be claimed by another team. The 26-year-old pass-catcher broke his foot in training camp last summer and didn't make his debut with Dallas until Week 14. In the two games he was active, he played only 15 offensive snaps and failed to haul in his only target. Meanwhile, Hilton has quickly gained chemistry with quarterback Dak Prescott and could play a vital role in the postseason for the Cowboys' passing attack. If Washington lands in the right situation, he could bounce back in 2023.
