Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth was the only qualified tight end in the league who did not record a drop during the 2023 season.
Huddle Up: Part of the reason Freiermuth was so trustworthy was because he only had 47 targets last season - less than half of his total from 2022 (98). With that said, the highest drop rate of Freiermuth's NFL career was 4.1 percent two seasons ago, so he will generally catch just about everything thrown to him. Freiermuth should push for fantasy TE1 status again since he should be - at worst - the second-best option for Russell Wilson in the passing game.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is lining up to be the No. 2 target in the offense after a strong spring, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "The Steelers don't have a solid WR2 option, but that might not matter as much if Freiermuth continues on the kind of upward trajectory he established this offseason," Pryor said.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth is a solid breakout candidate with a low cost in fantasy. He's a back-end TE1, but there's some value if he winds up becoming the second target in the offense.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth "looked like a legitimate playmaker" in the offense during OTAs, according to Mark Kaboly of The Athletic.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth is coming off a disappointing season, but history says new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will have the tight ends more involved. With Smith's offense and Russell Wilson now under center, Freiermuth should rebound from his 2023 numbers. It isn't out of the question that he finishes as a low-end TE1.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth said he is excited about the scheme offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is bringing to the team because the tight ends will be very involved in the passing game.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth is coming off a disappointing 2023 season but likely will see a good amount of targets this upcoming season if he can stay healthy. He could be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth has developed a connection with QB Russell Wilson early on in OTAs, according to beat writer Mark Kaboly.
Huddle Up: Freiermuth had a down year while dealing with injuries and a quarterback carousel. Wilson has always used tight ends well, and at this stage of his career, he'll need them. Freiermuth will be a TE2 that gets overlooked but could have upside.

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth didn't see a target in a 34-11 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.
Posted: 12/23/2023 2:44 am GMT
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth faces the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, and Freiermuth had nine receptions for 120 yards against the Bengals in Week 12.
Huddle Up: The Bengals have been torched by opposing tight ends all season, and Freiermuth joined in the fun the first time these teams met. Even with Mason Rudolph under center, Freiermuth could be worth a look as a streaming option.
