James Washington lands on Steelers' reserve/COVID-19 list

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed wide receiver James Washington on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

What It Means:

His placement on the list does not mean that Washington has necessarily tested positive for the virus, but hopefully the young wideout and his family are all healthy. Assuming he is able to participate in the upcoming training camps and is healthy heading into the season, Washington should be a popular sleeper for fantasy this season.

Washington did enjoy a quiet breakout last season despite playing with rookie standout Diontae Johnson and catching passes from the worst quarterback group in the league, with a solid 9.2 yards per target and a team-high 735 receiving yards. He's currently projected as numberFire's WR74, but his camp battle with Johnson will be an important one to watch this season.
