Pat Freiermuth

After averaging 9.5 and 9.9 PPF fantasy points per game in his first two seasons in the league, Pat Freiermuth averaged only 6.4 PPR points per game in 2023, as he was thwarted by uneven QB play and a hamstring injury that cost him five games. Freiermuth had seven TD catches as a rookie in 2021. He only scored two touchdowns in 2022 but ramped up his yardage, finishing with 63 receptions for 732 yards. Freiermuth is adept at working the middle of the field, has dependable hands and is tough to bring down after the catch. A nine-catch, 120-yard performance vs. the Bengals in late November showed what Freiermuth is capable of, but will he once again be hindered by subpar QB play in 2024? Consider him a midrange TE2 for 2024.

Pat Freiermuth caught 3-of-4 targets for 44 yards in the Steelers' 30-23 win over the Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Freiermuth hasn't had quite as much success as the wide receivers since Mason Rudolph took over under center for Pittsburgh. He remains a low-end TE1 play though given the state of the position.
