News: 5 days agoFreiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.
Spin: Freiermuth entered Week 6 questionable due to a calf injury, but he ended up running 41 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. The tight end just didn't do much in the box score and was targeted on just 6.1 percent of Rodgers' 49 pass attempts. Freiermuth has already scored four touchdowns this season but has just 180 receiving yards on 21 grabs across 29 targets through six games. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Freiermuth's career trajectory has been quite the head-scratcher, but the bottom line is he is yet to emerge as a consistent fantasy starter. The 2021 second-round pick flirted with TE1 status in both 2022 (11th in fantasy PPG) and 2024 (14th) but saw a dramatic dip in usage in Pittsburgh's crowded tight end room in 2025. Freiermuth posted a career-low 10% target share and finished outside the top 20 at the position in snaps, routes, targets, catches, yards and end zone targets, and 30 tight ends bested his 6.7 fantasy PPG. The 27-year-old figures to play more in 2026 with Jonnu Smith gone and Mike McCarthy running the offense, but Pittsburgh is also better at wide receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard in the fold. Freiermuth has some sleeper appeal, but he's best valued as a back-end TE2.
