Washington's 71.9% red zone route share and 22.2% target rate lead Steelers TEs.

Washington has become one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets in the red zone, posting a 71.9% route share (since Week 3), 22.2% target rate, and 26.1% TPRR—all significantly higher than Pat Freiermuth's 59.4% route share, 14.8% target rate, and 21.1% TPRR. Rodgers has the 10th-most red zone attempts and fourth-most goal-line attempts this season. Washington averages 4.5 targets per game, providing a viable floor, with ceiling upside in scoring situations against New Orleans.
