James Washington caught four passes for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Cleveland Browns back in week six, logging 43 snaps, or over two thirds of the team’s total offensive plays during the game.
Then he logged 41 snaps combined over the course of the next three games, catching just one single pass, albeit a 17-yard touchdown, on four targets during that span. He would see six straight games in which he played under 30 snaps and under 50 percent of the team’s total, before seeing his playing time start to tick back upward in recent weeks.
