• Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Closes season with 15 yards

  01/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Freiermuth recorded three receptions on four targets for 15 yards in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. Freiermuth dropped a short pass on Pittsburgh's first play from scrimmage, which set the tone for his production in the game. His longest catch went for only nine yards, leading to a difficult close to the campaign. Even so, Freiermuth put together arguably his most well-rounded regular season as a pro, setting a career high in receptions (65) while matching his career best with seven touchdowns. After signing an extension last offseason, he'll be a key contributor to the Steelers offense in 2025.

• Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Lone positive for Steelers' O

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Freiermuth recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 19-17 loss to the Bengals. Freiermuth was the only impactful pass catcher for Pittsburgh, and he showed rapport with Russell Wilson in a late-game comeback attempt. His performance was highlighted by a 19-yard touchdown grab with eight minutes remaining in the contest, though he also chipped in gains of 17, 11 and 10 yards to post his highest yardage total of the season. The only drawback for Freiermuth was a drop in the final seconds that could have set the Steelers up for a game-winning field-goal attempt. Nevertheless, Freiermuth closes the regular season having matched his career high with seven touchdowns while setting a new career high with 65 catches. Given George Pickens' recent struggles, Freiermuth arguably enters the postseason as Wilson's most reliable pass catcher.

  Freiermuth had a big game against Cincinnati in Week 13 with six catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and his 18.8 PPR points in that outing are a season-high. Including that game, Freiermuth has now scored at least 11 PPR points in four of his past five games, with three touchdowns over that span, and the Bengals are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Freiermuth has top-10 upside in all leagues in Week 18.

  Freiermuth had a down game in Week 16 at Baltimore with three catches for 16 yards, which snapped his three-game streak of scoring a touchdown and four-game streak of scoring at least 9.9 PPR points. He should get back on track in Week 17 against the Chiefs, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Three tight ends in the past four games have scored at least 8.4 PPR points against Kansas City, and we could see Russell Wilson lean on Freiermuth in this matchup, even with George Pickens back for Pittsburgh.

• Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Quiet in loss to Baltimore

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Freiermuth recorded three receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Saturday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens. Freiermuth had either topped 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in four straight games, though his momentum was halted in Saturday's loss. His longest gain went for just seven yards, and two of his catches came with Pittsburgh down multiple scores in the fourth quarter. Freiermuth should be more involved in Week 17 against the Chiefs, though his ability to rack up stats remains inconsistent.
