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.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Tallies 32 yards
Heyward secured three of four targets for 32 yards during the Steelers' 23-19 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Heyward saw increased work once again Sunday with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) still on injured reserve. Heyward racked up a season-high 32 yards during the narrow victory, but that production isn't enough to give him much fantasy appeal. Freiermuth could return to action as soon as the Steelers' Week 11 matchup against Cleveland on Sunday, and Heyward's offensive impact will likely be minimal once Freiermuth is back.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Held to two receptions Thursday
Heyward brought in two of three targets for 16 yards in the Steelers' 20-16 win over the Titans on Thursday night.
Heyward was minimally involved as the top pass-catching tight end for the Steelers in the ongoing absence of Pat Freiermuth (IR-hamstring). The second-year pro had posted a season-high five receptions in Week 8, but as Thursday demonstrated, his week-to-week production will be difficult to trust in a middling Kenny Pickett-led passing attack.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Catches five passes
Heyward secured five of six targets for 24 yards during the Steelers' 20-10 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday.
Heyward had an increased role once again Sunday since Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) remained on injured reserve. However, the 2022 sixth-rounder was unable to generate much production despite finishing second on the team in targets. Over the three games in which Freiermuth has been sidelined, Heyward has secured 10 of 13 targets for 70 yards.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Racks up 23 yards in win
Heyward secured two of three targets for 23 yards during the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Fellow tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 7 matchup, so Heyward continued to have an elevated role in Pittsburgh's offense. It was also encouraging to see him on the field for 86 percent of the offensive snaps, which outpaced rookie Darnell Washington, who played 53 percent of the snaps. Heyward hasn't yet had much fantasy relevance this year, but it's been encouraging to see him have his highest snap counts of the season in the Steelers' last two games.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Tallies 23 yards in Week 5
Heyward secured three of four targets for 23 yards during the Steelers' 17-10 win over Baltimore on Sunday.
Heyward's snap count increased during Sunday's victory with Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) sidelined, but rookie Darnell Washington outpaced Heyward by playing 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Heyward was on the field for 56 percent but was able to log a season-high three receptions, while Washington was held without a catch. Heyward has had limited offensive production this year, with all of his catches coming at times when Freiermuth was unavailable. The Steelers have a Week 6 bye before facing the Rams in Week 7, and Heyward will likely have a limited role on offense if Freiermuth is able to recover during the layoff.

Steelers' Connor Heyward: Tallies 19 yards in loss
Heyward secured two of four targets for 19 yards during the Steelers' 30-7 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Although Heyward saw the fewest snaps of any of the Steelers' tight ends Sunday, he led the position group in yards. However, it's worth noting that both of his receptions came in the second half, while Pat Freiermuth (chest) was unavailable down the stretch. Heyward's upside will be limited if Freiermuth is available moving forward, while rookie Darnell Washington also figures to see some work in the passing game as the season progresses.
