Steelers' Derek Watt: Reaches end zone in Week 18
Watt rushed once for one yard and a touchdown during the Steelers' 28-14 win over Cleveland on Monday.
Watt was on the field for just six offensive snaps Monday, but he scored a rushing touchdown for the first time this season to help lead the Steelers to the win. He rushed nine times for 21 yards and a touchdown while securing all five of his targets for 11 yards and another score this season. The 30-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason after spending the last three seasons in Pittsburgh.

Steelers' Derek Watt: Accounts for five yards in win
Watt carried once for four yards and recorded a one-yard reception in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.
The veteran fullback played only five snaps on offense in the win and has yet to see his snap share climb above 10 percent in any of his 11 appearances on the season. He's thus far carried four times for eight yards while adding four receptions for eight yards and a touchdown on four targets.

Steelers' Derek Watt: Minimal work during regular season
Watt recorded one carry for one yard while securing all three of his targets for 15 yards during the 2021 regular season.
Watt was held without a touch during his first season with the Steelers in 2020, and he played primarily on special teams during the 2021 campaign. Najee Harris established himself as the Steelers' top backfield contributor during his rookie season, so Watt is unlikely to play a significant offensive role in 2022.
