Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Gains 51 yards in SNF win
Pat Freiermuth brought in two of three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.Freiermuth finished second in receiving for the Pittsburgh Steelers behind star wideout George Pickens (5-111-1). The 25-year-old Freiermuth did most of his damage on a 44-yard reception from new starting quarterback Russell Wilson in the lopsided victory. The starting tight end had topped 50 yards in receiving just once during interim starter Justin Fields' six starts this season. The change at quarterback in Pittsburgh could spark an upward trend in Freiermuth's fantasy value heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Giants.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Touchdown wiped away
Pat Freiermuth recorded two receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.Justin Fields threw for only 145 yards, so it should come as no surprise that the Pittsburgh Steelers' pass catchers had very little production. Freiermuth appeared to be an exception as he hauled in a 14-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, only for it to be wiped away after it was determined that Fields had crossed the line of scrimmage before releasing the ball. Freiermuth is difficult to trust on a weekly basis due to Pittsburgh's poor passing offense, but he has been a regular red-zone target.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Tallies first touchdown
Pat Freiermuth recorded five receptions on seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.Freiermuth was one of the few things the Pittsburgh offense had going in the first half, as he led the team in targets and yards. Though his usage faded in the final two quarters, this was still a promising performance for him as he managed both his first catch of 20 or more yards and touchdown of the season.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Racks up four catches in win
Pat Freiermuth secured four of five targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.Freiermuth has recorded four catches in each of his first three appearances this season, but he hasn't logged more than 40 receiving yards in any of those games. His 7.6 yards per target to begin the year is the best mark of his career, but his 8.3 yards per catch are tied for his lowest mark since his rookie season in 2021. While the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has largely struggled to begin the year, it's been encouraging to see Freiermuth carve out a consistent target share.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Tallies four catches
Pat Freiermuth recorded four receptions on four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over Denver.The Pittsburgh Steelers ran a very conservative offense in the win, leaving Freiermith as the team's leader in receptions and yards. His longest gain of the day went for 14 yards midway through the first quarter, a catch that set up the only touchdown of the game for either team. Preseason concerns about a diminished role in the offense for Freiermuth appear unfounded through two games, but the lack of aggression has limited the potential of all of Pittsburgh's pass catchers.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Racks up 27 yards in win
Pat Freiermuth secured all four of his targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over Atlanta.Shortly after signing his four-year contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday, Freiermuth was featured fairly prominently in the Steelers' Week 1 win, finishing second on the team in receptions and receiving yards. The 25-year-old was an inconsistent contributor during the 2023 campaign, posting single-digit yards in three of his first four appearances of the season. However, he could see more targets in 2024 now that Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin are no longer with the team, and tight-end friendly coordinator Arthur Smith is calling plays.
