Expert Note
View More NotesI'm fading Pat Freiermuth again this week. This is a continuation of what I discussed last week. Against single high, Freiermuth has disappeared over the last two seasons. The Saints have the third-highest rate of single-high (64.2%). Since 2025, against single high, Freiermuth has had only a 14% TPRR and 0.80 YPRR. During that same span, against two high, he has had a 21% TPRR and 2.13 YPRR. Could he get a score this week and save his fantasy day? It's possible, but I don't want to depend on that. Last week, against another single high-heavy matchup, he had only a 57.4% route share, a 6.1% target share (10% TPRR), two receptions, 11 receiving yards, and 9.4% first-read share. New Orleans has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
Player News
View More NewsPat Freiermuth caught two of four targets for 20 yards in the Steelers' 16-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
After two games with a combined three touchdowns, Freiermuth has just four receptions for 31 yards in the last two games. He's a risky streaming tight end at best.
