PITTE • #88

Pat Freiermuth caught 2-of-3 passes for 16 yards in a Week 6 win over the Raiders.

The tight end was third on the Steelers in targets but there simply aren’t enough targets to go around to make him fantasy-relevant in shallower formats, especially in games where the Steelers are leading and can lean on the run. Freiermuth did catch a touchdown on a play in which Justin Fields rolled out of the pocket, but Fields was a half-yard beyond the line of scrimmage when he released the ball, so the play was called back. The big tight end will be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option for the foreseeable future.
