Draft Note by John Paulsen
Freiermuth finished with 60-497-7 on 79 targets in 16 games as a rookie. It was the fifth-most fantasy points by a rookie tight end since the 2000 season. He split time with Eric Ebron, who is no longer in Pittsburgh. In the eight games that Ebron was sidelined, Freiermuth averaged 4.1 catches for 37 yards and 0.63 touchdowns. That pace over a full 16- or 17- game season would have made him the top rookie tight end since 2000. Without Ebron, his targets increased from 4.5 to 5.4 and his routes run increased from 20.8 per game to 25.8 per game. He’s going off the board as a low-end TE1 and that’s fair given his situation in Pittsburgh.
