James Washington

The Falcons have released WR James Washington.

Fantasy Impact

Washington will now be free to sign with any team. The move was made to free up space for safety Justin Simmons.

James Washington is signing a deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Washington didn't take the field at all in 2023 due to injuries that left him sidelined, but now he is signing a deal to join the Atlanta Falcons. It's unlikely that he carves out a fantasy-relevant role for himself on this offense, but it's possible that he makes the team.

James Washington is attempting an NFL comeback after missing most of the last two seasons due to a jones fracture.

Fantasy Impact

The former second-round pick of the Steelers received multiple inquires from teams and could be trying out for them soon.

James Washington has been released by the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Washington signed with Indianapolis less than two weeks ago, but the team is already letting him go ahead of the roster cut deadline. They also released veteran Breshad Perriman, which indicates that the team feels comfortable enough with players like Isaiah McKenzie and Josh Downs to play the depth roles. Time will tell if Washington signs somewhere else, but either way he won't hold any fantasy value for this season.

According to the teams' website, the Indianapolis Colts have signed WR James Washington to a deal.

Fantasy Impact

The signing comes a day after the team accounted Ashton Dulin will miss the entirety of the 2023 season with a torn ACL. Washington was a second-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2018 but never played up to the draft capital during his time as a Steeler. Other than 2019, Washington has not surpassed more than 400 yards in a season and has not caught a pass in two seasons. Time will tell if he can carve out a role on a WR-needy Colts team.
