Canada: Steelers have 'Great Confidence' in Darnell Washington in Week 5
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington is in line for his first career start Sunday in the team's Week 5 game against the Baltimore Ravens.
What It Means:
Pat Freiermuth will miss Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury. His absence is paving the way for Washington, the rookie tight end out of Georgia. Through 4 games this season, he has just 1 target: a 10-yard catch last week against Houston. Now, he's going to be the main option for Kenny Pickett at tight end, and the Pittsburgh product likes to check down often.
Our models project Washington for 2.7 catches, 24.6 yards, 0.2 touchdowns and 4.7 FanDuel points.
