Who Should I Start? Darnell Washington or Drew Ogletree

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington came through with his first touchdown of the season in Week 7 but was otherwise quiet with three receptions for just two yards in the loss. Though he did see five targets, Washington was out-snapped and outperformed by Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith, both of whom had underwhelmed early in the year. In Week 8, Washington will face the Green Bay Packers, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. This matchup makes Washington an intriguing DFS dart throw or deep-league flier, but it remains difficult to predict how opportunities will be distributed among Pittsburgh's tight ends in Arthur Smith's offense, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most redraft formats.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Drew Ogletree caught his only target of the day for a 15-yard touchdown in the team's 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ogletree caught the pass from QB Joe Flacco in the fourth quarter to help seal the win for Indianapolis. The touchdown grab made for Ogletree's second catch of the season over the span of four games. The Colts offense has not featured a tight end this season, and Ogletree ran fewer routes than tight ends Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson, and Will Mallory in the matchup. Given the incredibly low usage, Ogletree is off the fantasy radar in Week 5 when the Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
