Ranked tight end 17 for Week 8; represents typical tight end inconsistency. Had three touchdowns between Weeks 4-5 while playing a full-time role but followed with 11 and 22 scoreless yard duds in the next two weeks. Problem is Darnell Washington also gets Aaron Rodgers' attention at the goal line. Freiermuth has 5 red zone targets this year with 4 going for touchdowns, so the issue is goal-line opportunity distribution rather than performance. Steelers offense is cooking relatively well but spreads things out around the goal line, limiting Freiermuth's consistent scoring upside despite efficient production.

PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026FantasyPros Articles
Freiermuth caught 3 of 5 targets for 17 yards and the game-tying touchdown with 1:46 left, with his only second-half catch coming on 2 targets and the rest of his production (2 catches, 14 yards) arriving in the first half on 3 targets. His 75% snap share is a real increase from Week 3's 60%, and his target volume ticked up (4 → 5) even as yardage came down. The touchdown and increased snap share suggest a strengthening role.

PositiveMatchupOct 24, 2026FantasyPros Articles
The source is fading Freiermuth again this week, continuing a theme from last week. Against single high, Freiermuth has disappeared over the last two seasons. New Orleans has the third-highest rate of single high (64.2%). Since 2025, against single high, Freiermuth has only 14% TPRR and 0.80 YPRR; against two high, he has 21% TPRR and 2.13 YPRR. Last week against another single high-heavy matchup, he had 57.4% route share, 6.1% target share (10% TPRR), two receptions, 11 receiving yards, and 9.4% first-read share. While a score is possible, the source doesn't want to depend on it. New Orleans has allowed the eighth-most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.

PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026Fantasy Football Advice
Carnell Tate targets Pat Freiermuth over 29.5 receiving yards in Week 7 vs. Saints, the number two matchup for tight end targets vs. expectation. Freiermuth is not on the injury report this week after a late-week calf injury last week; he's fully practicing. With Pitman and Wilson out, the Saints defense will concentrate targets on two wide receivers and then sprinkle the rest to tight ends and running backs. Freiermuth historically goes over this line in 4 of 5 weeks when not playing injured, with a 60–65% over rate expected.

Freiermuth has three touchdowns in his last three games and sits tied for fifth in the league in red-zone targets, converting four of them into touchdowns. The source targets him for an anytime TD in a favorable matchup against New Orleans, which has been 'absolutely terrible defending the position,' allowing Isaiah Likely six receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown and Brock Bowers 10 catches for 116 yards and a score in recent weeks.
