James Washington - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoPittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington failed to capitalize on his increased opportunities in Week 6. Despite JuJu Smith-Schuster (shoulder) being out for the season, Washington only played eight snaps against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, finishing with one catch for nine yards. He will look to bounce back in a plus matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Cleveland is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season and may be without top cornerback Denzel Ward (hamstring) in Week 8. That being said, Washington can't be trusted for fantasy until he shows that he will be a major piece of the Pittsburgh offense. Treat him as a desperation flex for Week 8.
