Steelers' Darnell Washington: Cleared to play Monday
The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Sunday that Darnell Washington cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries a designation for Monday's game against the Dolphins.After logging three straight limited practice this week, Washington had initially been listed as questionable for the contest.

Over his last three games, Washington has reeled in five of his seven targets for 79 yards, though it's worth noting that Washington was forced out of the Week 14 win over the Ravens after logging just 15 snaps on offense.

Steelers' Darnell Washington: Remains questionable for MNF
Darnell Washington (concussion) logged a limited practice session Saturday and is questionable for Monday's Week 15 tilt against the Dolphins.Washington entered concussion protocol during last Sunday's win over Baltimore. He's been able to log three limited practices this week, but he remains iffy to suit up Monday. Washington will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol ahead of that contest in order to be eligible to play. If he can't do so, Pat Freiermuth will likely see increased offensive snaps as the Pittsburgh Steelers' top tight end.

If he's able to practice in full Saturday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist, Washington would be in line to suit up for Monday's matchup against Miami. In the event that Washington can't play Week 15, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth would stand to benefit slightly from increased target consolidation at the tight end position.

Steelers' Darnell Washington: Records 45 yards
Darnell Washington recorded two receptions on four targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills.Washington's modest performance was good enough to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers in receiving yards, and he finished tied for second on the team in targets. Those thresholds were more indicative of the poor offensive showing for the Steelers, though Washington continues to gain more of a role as a receiver.

Steelers' Darnell Washington: Racks up 22 yards in loss
Darnell Washington secured both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 31-28 loss to Chicago.Washington had just two catches in Sunday's defeat while fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth each had three receptions. However, Washington led the group in receiving yards and logged the most snaps of the trio, as he was on the field for 68 percent of the team's offensive plays compared to Smith's 49 percent and Freiermuth's 47 percent. Although Washington had some factors that slightly mitigated his disappointing performance, his fantasy upside is limited since he's split work with Smith and Freiermuth for most of the season.
