STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Freiermuth's 73% route share in McCarthy's pass-heavy scheme makes him a strong TE2.

Pittsburgh's Mike McCarthy-influenced offense logged a pass rate 10 percent above expected in Week 1, with Aaron Rodgers struggling on deep throws (3.8 completed air yards per attempt, fifth-lowest on the week). McCarthy streamlined the tight end rotation to just Freiermuth, who ran 73 percent of routes in Week 1, creating a strong TE2 option for Week 2.
