Steelers' Connor Heyward: Scores touchdown against Dallas
Heyward secured two of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss to Dallas.
Heyward had racked up just two receiving yards over the first four weeks of the regular season, but he saw his target share increase Sunday despite playing just 13 offensive snaps. While it was encouraging that he reached the end zone for the first time since 2022, he hasn't established himself as a consistent fantasy option alongside teammates Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Reaches end zone in preseason loss
Heyward secured both of his targets for four yards and a touchdown during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
Heyward wasn't a consistent part of the Steelers' passing game last year, as he secured 23 of 34 targets for 167 yards over 17 regular-season games. However, he had a six-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter of Friday's preseason opener. Although it was encouraging to see Heyward reach the end zone against Houston, he's unlikely to be a reliable contributor during the regular season, as he remains behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington on the Steelers' depth chart at tight end.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Inconsistent in 2023
Heyward secured 23 of 34 targets for 167 yards while rushing once for no yards over 17 games during the 2023 season.
Heyward had some slightly encouraging performances in the middle of the regular season, as he topped 20 receiving yards in four of five appearances when Pat Freiermuth was sidelined due to an injury. However, Heyward was held to just four receiving yards over the final four games of the season and didn't have enough of an impact to warrant fantasy consideration. While he's topped 150 receiving yards in his first two professional seasons, it seems unlikely that he'll be consistent enough to be a fantasy-relevant option in season-long formats in 2024.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Logs two receptions Thursday
Heyward secured both of his targets for 15 yards during the Steelers' 21-18 loss to New England on Thursday.
Heyward didn't have any receptions during last week's loss to the Cardinals, but he managed to generate slightly more production in primetime Thursday. However, he played most of his snaps on special teams and isn't likely to be a significant part of the offense as long as Pat Freiermuth stays healthy.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Catches two passes
Heyward secured both of his targets for 11 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
The Steelers had their best game of the season offensively during Sunday's win after offensive coordinator Matt Canada was recently fired, and starting tight end Pat Freiermuth benefited by securing nine of 11 targets for 120 yards. Although Heyward had multiple catches for the sixth time in his last seven appearances, he was unable to rack up many yards and doesn't have much upside now that Freiermuth is back to full health.
