James Washington, More Fantasy Outlook After JuJu Smith-Schuster's Injury

With JuJu Smith-Schuster suffering a concussion in Thursday's game against the Cleveland Browns, James Washington and other Pittsburgh Steelers playmakers will have a chance to step up during the third-year wideout's absence.

After seven-time Pro Bowler Antonio Brown was traded during the offseason, Smith-Schuster became the No. 1 option in Pittsburgh. And now, the receiving corps' depth could be put to the test.

Washington entered the NFL with high expectations surrounding him after he was a second-round pick in 2018. However, it wasn't the smoothest of starts to his career, as he managed only 217 yards and one touchdown in 14 games last year.
