Pittsburgh capped all of it at 3.3 targets a game across 13 appearances on a 57 percent snap share, and he gave some back with a 9.3 percent drop rate, fourth highest among qualified tight ends. At 24 he fits the pattern of a blocking tight end whose receiving efficiency is ahead of his role, the kind of player who becomes fantasy-relevant the moment targets appear. Nothing in the data says they're coming, the projection sits at about 59 points, TE38, and an ADP of 324 prices exactly that stasis. He belongs on deep-league watchlists, and in normal leagues there's no reason to spend the pick before the role changes.", "writeup_generated_at": "2026-07-22T02:44:42.345573+00:00", "news": { "digest": "Darnell Washington (personal) set to play Sunday — Washington missed two practices while tending to a personal issue earlier in the week, but he carries no designation heading into the weekend and will be available to play against the Patriots.
