Who Should I Start? Darnell Washington or Tyler Warren

Tuesday, October 21, 9:35 PM

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 Tyler Warren has been an excellent addition to his team's passing attack this season. Warren is leading the Colts with 492 receiving yards through eight games, while his 37 catches and three receiving touchdowns both rank second behind only Michael Pittman Jr. The rookie tight end will look to keep it going on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. The Steelers have really struggled to contain opposing tight ends this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren sets up as a top-three tight end in fantasy in Week 9 and should be locked into all lineups for Sunday.
