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.

Fantasy Impact
Washington has operated as more of an afterthought in the Pittsburgh offense to this point, recording more than three targets for the first time in five games Sunday. The tight end can be left off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 7 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Darnell Washington caught 3-of-3 targets for 20 yards in the Steelers 24-21 win over the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact
Washington said this is the best shape he has been in since his days at Georgia. With Donald Parham suffering a torn Achilles, he could play a bigger role with the 12 personnel ran by Arthur Smith. Washington will likely remain off the fantasy radar this season.
Darnell Washington caught his only target for eight yards in the Steelers' 29-10 loss to the Chiefs in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Washington has seen little involvement in the Pittsburgh passing attack of late, recording one target or less in each of his last five games. The tight ends is best left off rosters in all formats, with a Week 18 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals up next.
