Darnell Washington

22-Year-Old Tight EndTE
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Washington had a somewhat underwhelming collegiate stat line over three seasons at Georgia, totaling 45 receptions for 774 yards and three touchdowns. However, he impressed at the combine through his speed and agility and was selected by Pittsburgh in the third round of this year's draft. Washington reportedly slid to the third round due to concerns over medicals, and it's unclear how that will impact his rookie season. Pat Freiermuth is the team's clear top tight end, but once Washington is healthy, he could challenge Zach Gentry as the primary backup. Read Past Outlooks

September 29, 2023
Washington (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Washington didn't practice Thursday but alleviated any fears about his knee injury with a full session Friday. The rookie tight end has played between 38 and 48 percent of offensive snaps in each of Pittsburgh's first three games, but Washington has been used exclusively as a blocker, having yet to garner a target.
