News: 2 days agoFreiermuth caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Saints.
Spin: Over the last two weeks, Freiermuth has just four grabs for 31 yards on seven targets. In that same span, Darnell Washington has secured five grabs for 29 yards and two touchdowns as one of Aaron Rodgers' preferred targets in the red zone. Freiermuth is in the large bucket of touchdown-or-bust fantasy options at tight end.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Freiermuth's career trajectory has been quite the head-scratcher, but the bottom line is he is yet to emerge as a consistent fantasy starter. The 2021 second-round pick flirted with TE1 status in both 2022 (11th in fantasy PPG) and 2024 (14th) but saw a dramatic dip in usage in Pittsburgh's crowded tight end room in 2025. Freiermuth posted a career-low 10% target share and finished outside the top 20 at the position in snaps, routes, targets, catches, yards and end zone targets, and 30 tight ends bested his 6.7 fantasy PPG. The 27-year-old figures to play more in 2026 with Jonnu Smith gone and Mike McCarthy running the offense, but Pittsburgh is also better at wide receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard in the fold. Freiermuth has some sleeper appeal, but he's best valued as a back-end TE2.
