Draft note

by John Paulsen

Freiermuth is being overlooked in early drafts despite a strong 2024 season where he caught 65 passes for 653 yards and seven scores, finishing as the fantasy TE10. The Steelers added Jonnu Smith in the offseason, which has seemingly spooked drafters, but new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has a history of utilizing multiple tight ends. Given the lack of depth in Pittsburgh’s receiving corps, it’s likely we’ll see plenty of “12” personnel with both Freiermuth and Smith on the field. Freiermuth has proven to be a reliable target with a nose for the end zone, something new QB Aaron Rodgers will appreciate. He’s not flashy, but he’s a solid mid-round option with weekly TE1 upside who is currently going at a TE2 discount.

Smith will get a one-year contract extension for $12 million.

Fantasy Impact:

What's good for the Steelers offense isn't necessarily a good thing for fantasy. Freiermuth is coming off a career-high 65 receptions, but even with a lack of a bona fide WR2 in Pittsburgh, it's doubtful he hits that number with Smith in town. This obviously means Smith will have to fight for targets as well, and puts both of their TE1 outcomes in question. Jonnu, at least, has familiarity with Arthur Smith, so we can envision usable weeks, just not nearly as many as he would have had in Miami.

The TE options leftover in Miami can be safely avoided, unless they make a move for another guy. Malik Washington becomes slightly more palatable as a (very) late-round dart throw.

PIT TE Pat Freiermuth - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

A tight end on the Steelers scored against the Ravens! Unfortunately, it was not Pat Freiermuth. After leading the team in targets in Week 15, Freiermuth was tied for third in targets in Week 16 with Van Jefferson. It was a disappointing week as MyCole Pruitt caught a touchdown and Connor Heyward also got involved as well.

The Chiefs are 20th aFPA against tight ends so in theory he should have the best matchup of any of the Steelers skill position players. Freiermuth checks in as a TE2 this week and has some appeal in TE premium leagues. In standard leagues, you should be able to find a better option.
