Catchers do get fatigued more quickly than other position players. I doubt you could go more than 8-9 games with no off day without a drop off. I give my catcher Saturdays or Sundays off in weeks with no off day.
Just my opinion of course but a "pitches caught"=fatigue model is simplistic. Catcher fatigue is more likely to be affected by the number of plays a catcher participates in. In that way a 12 inning 1-0 game may be far less fatiguing than a 9 inning 8-7 game where 6 runs involve some activity at HP and where more running and backing up 1B is done. A catcher having a 4 hit day with 3 runs scored is going to be more fatigued.
YMMV
