Darnell Washington

Darnell Washington caught 2-of-4 targets for 45 yards in the Steelers 26-7 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Washington led the team in receiving and logged the most snaps of any tight end on the team. Washington appears to have earned the trust of the coaching staff as he saw more playing time than Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. Fantasy managers should shy away from the Steelers' tight end group heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Ravens.

Darnell Washington caught both of his targets for 22 yards in the Steelers' 31-28 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Washington is caught in a tight end rotation, making him tough to trust for fantasy. He's got incredible size and can break nearly any tackle should he desire. He just isn't getting enough work to make him startable.

Darnell Washington caught 4-of-5 targets for 67 yards in the Steelers 34-12 win over the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Washington had a monster YAC day as he broke multiple tackles on multiple receptions. His fantasy upside remains limited splitting snaps with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth.

Darnell Washington caught his lone target for 15 yards in the Steelers 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Washington, Pat Freiermuth, and Jonnu Smith combined for five receptions total in Sunday's loss. With all three tight ends splitting time, fantasy managers can likely find a better option heading into Week 11.

Darnell Washington caught three of five targets for two yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 33-31 loss to the Bengals.

Fantasy Impact

Washington found the end zone for the first time this season, saving his fantasy line on a low-yardage day. He saw five targets for the second straight game, but his snap share (63%) dipped below fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth, both of whom were more productive. Washington remains part of a three-way timeshare, making him a touchdown-dependent fantasy option with limited upside.
