STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Steelers' short-passing offense and Rodgers' 3.8 CAY/A limit Freiermuth's ceiling.

Pittsburgh logged a pass rate 10 percent above expected in Week 1 under the Mike McCarthy special. Aaron Rodgers attempted to throw deep but was only successful on short tosses, posting the fifth-lowest completed air yards per attempt on the week at 3.8. This suggests limited deep-ball opportunity for Freiermuth going forward.
