James Washington Catchless Against Bengals
5 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington wasn't able to haul in his only target during Monday's win over the Bengals. As a rookie last season, he had just three games with one or zero targets, so this is definitely a low for the the college teammate of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Many anticipated Washington would be a direct benefactor of Rudolph taking over the offense, but opposing defenses have done a great job keeping him from having an impact. In turn, rookie Diontae Johnson has taken over the team's WR2 responsibilities, and Washington is trending towards drop status in fantasy in shallow leagues. In a Week 5 matchup with the Ravens, Washington is a definite sit, but he can be stashed for one more week to see if his workload increases.
