From the upgrade/downgrade report (Mon Oct 15): McDonald's smaller passing game role in Week 5 appeared to be the aberration as he was prominent again in Week 6 and just as difficult to bring down as he has been all year. He'll be a TE1 coming out of his bye this week.

Recent Game Summaries
2018 Week 6 vs CIN (8 / 7 / 68 / 0 rec)
The presence of Vance McDonald and all of the tight ends should not be understated. To start Week 6, Roethlisberger did not complete his first pass to a tight end until the Steelers third possession and almost the end of the first quarter. Starting the game McDonald continued his physical domination of the league when he broke a 26-yard run on a crossing route. McDonald was like a bull in a china shop running through two tackles and flipping the Steelers field position on one catch. The following play McDonald was open in the middle of the field for an 11-yard gain where Roethlisberger had almost four seconds to throw the ball.
2018 Week 4 vs BAL (5 / 5 / 62 / 0 rec)
Last week Vance McDonald stiff-armed a defender through a wall. This week McDonald continued displaying his superhuman level athleticism as he caught an inbreaking route, broke a tackle, and drug two defenders for an additional three yards. Following McDonald's heroic catch Antonio Browns scored his touchdown. The Ravens were able to smother McDonald in the second half taking away the middle of the field.
2018 Week 3 vs TB (5 / 4 / 112 / 1 rec)
Almost all of McDonald's production came on one play. The play itself was simple outward breaking route by Vance McDonald. McDonald threw the defender to the ground and scored a 75-yard touchdown in the first quarter
