TE Pat Freiermuth expects higher usage in new Steelers offense

All of the tight ends should have opportunities to contribute in the passing game, but Pat Freiermuth has been the most consistent (and the most targeted) pass catcher of the group. After catching a career-low 32 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns last season while missing time with a hamstring injury, he expects to be targeted not only more frequently but also in different ways.

Fantasy Impact:

The article also mentions how perspective QB starter Russell Wilson carried the Broncos TE room to a 32nd-ranked finish in receptions (39) and yardage (362) last season. It remains to be seen how much fantasy upside the Steelers offense can provide with Wilson/Justin Fields at the helm.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is expected to miss Sunday’s game against the Rams and likely will be sidelined longer after aggravating his hamstring in practice Thursday.

Freiermuth had an MRI this morning, and now his return to action is on hold.

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers have had a decently tough opening stretch of games, but in the four games Freiermuth has been active, he has accumulated all of 53 yards combined. In his Week 5 absence, Heyward and Washington ran a combined 34 routes and managed a 3-23 stat line on six targets.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth limited in Thursday practice

Something to keep an eye on: Pat Freiermuth was downgraded to limited participation with the hamstring issue in today’s practice.

Related Players: Connor Heyward, Darnell Washington

Fantasy Impact:

To say that the third-year tight end has had a rough go of it statistically to this point in the season would be an understatement. The Steelers have had a decently tough opening stretch of games but the four games Freiermuth has been active, he has accumulated all of 53 yards combined. In his Week 5 absence, Heyward and Washington ran a combined 34 routes and managed a 3-23 stat line on six targets.

We will need a clean bill of health heading into the weekend to consider a fantasy bounceback from Freiermuth.
