James Washington's Fantasy Draft Stock After Steelers' Preseason Debut

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington made a strong case to be the team's No. 2 wideout opposite JuJu Smith-Schuster on Friday as he caught four passes for 84 yards and a touchdown in the first half of his team's preseason tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From a fantasy football perspective, the natural question is how the night may impact Washington's average draft position, which Fantasy Football Calculator lists at No. 127 in full point-per-reception leagues.

The 5'11", 213-pound Washington did himself a favor Friday, but more work is needed to overtake the presumed favorite Donte Moncrief for the starting spot opposite JuJu Smith-Schuster.
