Connor Heyward

Connor Heyward caught two passes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ defeat to the Cowboys on Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact

Heyward could have had a more productive night had he not dropped a beautifully thrown ball by Fields early in the game. Heyward hasn’t had much pass-catching involvement in the Steelers’ offense thus far, making him fantasy irrelevant moving forward, barring any injuries.

Connor Heyward caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in a 23-19 win over the Packers in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact

Heyward wound up finishing second on the team in receiving yards in the win. The second-year tight end has 10 catches over his past three games, but he could be headed back to a reserve role with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) expected to return from injured reserve in Week 11 against Cleveland.

Conner Heyward caught 2 of 3 targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 20-16 win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact

Heyward caught a season-high five passes in Week 8, but he was unable to keep up that involvement in the Steelers' passing game Thursday night, as his six targets were cut in half. Heyward is the TE1 in Pittsburgh right now with Pat Freiermuth out, but there's not much to see in terms of fantasy value.

Connor Heyward caught 5 of 6 targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Heyward set a new career high in receptions Sunday afternoon, but the yardage certainly left much to be desired. The second-year pro's longest play went for only nine yards. Heyward now has multiple catches in three straight games filling in for injured Pat Freiermuth, but his fantasy value remains low.

Connor Heyward caught 2-of-3 targets for 24 yards in the Steelers’ 24-17 win over the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Heyward was filling in for the injured Pat Freiermuth, who was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old likely will not be a focal point of the offense, but he could be a solid streaming option for those in need of help at tight end.
