Heyward continues to be the Steelers’ primary tight end with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) out. He has 16 targets in four games since the Steelers’ Week 6 bye, establishing himself as a streaming option with the right matchup. In Week 11, Heyward faces a tough Browns defense, where he will be a TE3 option.

Heyward worked as the team’s primary pass-catching tight end with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) sidelined. He ran a pass route on 75 percent of the team’s drop backs and was second among Steelers pass catchers in targets. Heyward makes for an interesting deep-league streaming option for as long as Freiermuth is out.

Heyward, who played fullback at Michigan State, repped with the tight ends at minicamp. The sixth-round rookie is a candidate for the H-back role in Pittsburgh, mixing in behind TE Pat Freiermuth and FB Derek Watt. Heyward's strong start to the offseason gives him the edge for a Week 1 roster spot.
