Pat Freiermuth continues to impress

Aug 26, 2021

According to The Athletic, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth has looked more impressive than Eric Ebron, both as a receiver and a blocker.

Fantasy Impact:

Freiermuth has outplayed incumbent starter Eric Ebron, throughout camp and appears ticketed for a meaningful role. Ebron remains penciled in as the starter, but this is evidence that the rookie may push him for the role sooner than expected. The Athletic noted that the Steelers frequently use two tight end formations, so who the starter is in name does not matter as much as it may for some other teams. Ebron is currently our TE24, but should Freiermuth get the tap as the starter at some point leading up to/or during the season, he will boast higher weekly upside. This is a situation to monitor.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
