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.

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.
