PIT WR James Washington - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks
James Washington actually played the fourth-most snaps at receiver for the Steelers last week, falling behind Ryan Switzer. But look for that to change. He did get six targets, but managed only two receptions for 51 yards. But Ben Roethlisberger did take multiple shots downfield for Washington. Given the Seahawks' inability to handle speedy John Ross downfield last week, the Steelers will test Seattle deep, which means Washington could get additional opportunities. But he's only a low-end flex play this week.

PIT WR James Washington - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at New England
James Washington will open the season as the Steelers' No. 3 receiver, but it won't matter much. He'll be on the field at least 75 percent of the time. Washington had his best game of a forgettable rookie season against the Patriots last season, catching three passes for 65 yards on four targets. He'll see one-on-one coverage in this one. And when he got that in the preseason, he produced, averaging more than 20 yards a catch. Washington will be the downfield target of choice in the offense. But he probably shouldn't be in your lineup this week.

PIT WR James Washington - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
James Washington's rookie season was a wash, as he caught just 16 passes for 217 yards and one touchdown. He was, however, targeted 38 times. And he came on strong down the stretch, catching eight passes for 140 yards in the final four games. Washington has gotten a lot more practice time with Ben Roethlisberger this offseason -- something that never happened in 2018 -- and with Antonio Brown now in Oakland, the opportunity is there for a lot more work in a high-volume passing attack.

Fantasy Downside
It's a show-me league, and Washington does have competition for targets from JuJu Smith-Schuster, Donte Moncrief and Vance McDonald. He's shown ability in practice situations, but he hasn't done it much in an NFL game yet, so there's some projection here.

2019 Bottom Line
Somebody has to make up those 104 receptions and 1,200 yards Brown produced in 2018. Washington is a solid bet to catch at least 50 passes this season, with the potential to post even more than that. He was a big-play specialist in college and Roethlisberger likes to go downfield as much as any QB in the league. Washington is a nice gamble to take as your No. 4 or 5 receiver with the potential to be more than that.

PIT WR James Washington - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Atlanta Falcons

James Washington managed just two catches for 10 yards last week and can't be considered a fantasy play at this point until he starts becoming a bigger part of the passing game. On the plus side, Ben Roethlisberger has looked for him deep the past two games. They just haven't hooked up. That will come.

PIT WR James Washington - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Baltimore Ravens

James Washington got two receptions for 25 yards last week, with both catches coming on third downs. But the Steelers seem more intent on using their tight ends more this season, so Washington's fantasy value is somewhat stymied for the time being. He should be stashed on your roster, though. He's one injury away from becoming a key part of a pass-heavy offense.

PIT WR James Washington - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

James Washington caught just one pass last week but it was a 14-yard TD. He had several other targets, including a deep ball on the game's first play, and a couple of catches erased by penalties. After getting just 11 snaps in Week 1, he got 52 in Week 2. He's not a flex play just yet, but he's heading in that direction and could be used even more this week.

PIT WR James Washington - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

As I told you last week, tap the brakes a little on the James Washington hype train. He saw just 11 snaps last week and wasn't targeted once. Also, Justin Hunter saw four times as much playing time. Washington's playing time should grow each week, but keep your expectations in check for now.
