22-Year-Old Tight EndTE
Pittsburgh Steelers
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

Underwhelms in rookie season
TEPittsburgh Steelers
January 12, 2024
Washington secured seven of 10 targets for 61 yards over 17 games during the 2023 season.
ANALYSIS
Washington drew solid reviews during training camp ahead of his rookie season, but he was unable to carve out much of a role in the Steelers' passing game, even with Pat Freiermuth missing five games due to an injury. Washington was on the field for 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but he didn't record more than 12 receiving yards in any of his appearances. Although his lack of targets was discouraging, it was a positive sign to see him carve out his fair share of playing time, and he'll look to take a step forward in 2024.
