Aside for a few 60+ yard games late in the year, Washington had very little impact in his rookie season for the Steelers, but that should change in a big way in 2019. Washington could step into the No.2 role opposite Smith-Schuster, and that would be an immediate boost to his production and fantasy value. Washington has the draft pedigree and collegiate production to push Donte Moncrief for the scraps behind Smith-Shuster. Although he only saw 38 looks and hauled in 16 of them, Washington flashed in the preseason, and did score in the season opener. I'm sure the Steelers are hoping to spread Browns bevy of departed targets around to a host of guys on the offense, and Washington has a chance to return WR4 value if he can grab a significant role.

Diontae Johnson pushing for big role?
Rookie pushing James Washington for WR3 reps
By: Doug Orth | Thu Aug 8, 7:00 pm
|  | According to NFL.com's Amber Theoharis, some Steelers' staff members have rookie WR Diontae Johnson ahead of James Washington on the depth chart. (NFL.com - Amber Theoharis)
FFToday's Take: Despite receiving earlier a shout out earlier this summer from JuJu Smith-Schuster about being a player who is going to surprise some people, Washington has struggled to challenge Donte Moncrief for the starting job. It sounds now as if he is far from a lock to be the third receiver as well. If either Johnson or Washington can secure the job, they will be worth owning in fantasy. However, if they split reps, both will be hard to trust.
