Darnell Washington
TE - Pittsburgh Steelers
Availability

Fantasy Impact
Washington has now recorded multiple receptions in four of his last five games, providing a steady—if low-ceiling—presence in the Steelers' tight end room. He brings a season line of 26 catches for 288 yards and one touchdown into a Week 16 matchup with the Lions.
Darnell Washington (concussion) was limited at Pittsburgh's practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Washington missed last week's game while going through the NFL's concussion protocols, but he seems to be progressing well and was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday. That's a good sign for his Week 15 availability, but he still has to receive full clearance before making his return to in-game action.
