Pat Freiermuth - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited production in victory Freiermuth secured both of his targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 18-16 win over the Ravens.

Impact Freiermuth's fantasy value in 2024 has depended largely on whether he reaches the end zone, and he had one of his worst performances of the year during Sunday's narrow win. The 26-year-old hasn't had more than three targets in any of his last six appearances, but he'll attempt to bounce back against the Browns on Thursday.

Scores third touchdown of 2024 Freiermuth secured all three of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.

Impact Freiermuth tallied just 5.7 yards per target Sunday, his second-lowest mark of the season. However, he reached the end zone in the second quarter to prop up his fantasy line. The 2021 second-rounder has now been held below 20 receiving yards in three of his last four appearances.

Held in check Monday Freiermuth secured both of his targets for 19 yards during Monday's 26-18 win over the Giants.

Impact Freiermuth tallied 51 receiving yards during his first week catching passes from Russell Wilson in Week 7, but he had less success in Week 8, being held under 20 receiving yards for just the second time this season. Freiermuth has had multiple receptions in each of the first eight games of the season, but he's been held to just two touchdowns and has failed to top 25 receiving yards in three of the last four matchups. The 26-year-old has secured 26 of 31 targets for 264 yards and two touchdowns over the first eight games of the season.

Gains 51 yards in SNF win Freiermuth brought in two of three targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.

Impact Freiermuth finished second in receiving for the 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 only 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.

Touchdown wiped away Freiermuth recorded two receptions on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.

Impact Justin Fields threw for only 145 yards, so it should come as no surprise that the 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.

Cleared to face Raiders Freiermuth (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Freiermuth upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being listed as limited Thursday. He'll continue to work as Pittsburgh's top tight end and will try to extend his touchdown streak to three games Sunday.

Limited by calf injury Freiermuth was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a calf injury, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a new addition to the injury report after Freiermuth wasn't listed Wednesday. An absence from practice Friday would hint at at a significant mid-week injury, whereas even limited participation likely would put the tight end on track to play this Sunday at Las Vegas.

TDs in consecutive games Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Freiermuth gave the Steelers a 17-13 lead in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter with a six-yard touchdown catch on a shovel pass. Most of his yardage came on a 19-yard pass from backup Kyle Allen while Fields missed two plays to be evaluated for a head injury in the third quarter. Unfortunately for Freiermuth's fantasy managers, he was credited with a lost fumble on the game's final play as the Steelers attempted a desperate series of laterals. Freiermuth has scored touchdowns in consecutive games heading into a Week 6 trip to Vegas.

Tallies first touchdown Freiermuth recorded five receptions on seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.

Impact 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. Though it hadn't led to significant fantasy success prior to Sunday's matchup, Freiermuth has a clear role in the Pittsburgh offense as he now has at least four catches in all four games on the campaign.

Racks up four catches in win Freiermuth secured four of five targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.

Impact 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 Steelers' offense has largely struggled to begin the year, it's been encouraging to see Freiermuth carve out a consistent target share.

Tallies four catches Freiermuth recorded four receptions on four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over Denver.

Impact The 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.
