Darnell Washington at Tampa Bay — Red-Zone Dart Throw Amid Receiver Injuries
Darnell Washington operates as Pittsburgh's secondary tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, but injuries across the receiving corps could afford him elevated involvement. With Michael Pittman Jr. sidelined on injured reserve and Roman Wilson doubtful, the Steelers are thin on pass catchers, positioning Washington for meaningful snaps in multi-tight-end sets.
Washington has earned eight targets and caught a touchdown over his last two contests, proving to be an imposing red-zone weapon. Our weekly projections peg him for 6.1 fantasy points on roughly 2.5 receptions for 26 yards. While his scoring upside is real, his modest target volume leaves him rostered in only 2% of leagues and best suited for deep leagues.

Outlook Travis Kelce
Travis Kelce vs LAC — Primary Target Upside in Divisional Clash
Kelce remains the clear lead tight end in Kansas City's offense and enters Week 6 fully healthy as the Chiefs host the winless Chargers. With top wideout Rashee Rice questionable after missing practice time, Patrick Mahomes could lean even more heavily on his longtime safety valve across the middle of the field.
Our weekly projection forecasts around 4 receptions for 54 yards, offering a reliable PPR baseline alongside steady red-zone upside. While Kansas City is heavily favored in a modest scoring environment, Kelce's commanding role inside the 20 makes him a locked-in must start in every fantasy format.
