Analysis

Freiermuth had been held under 20 receiving yards in four of his last five appearances, but he bounced back in Thursday's primetime matchup with a season-high 59 receiving yards. Over the first 11 games of the season, the 26-year-old has secured 35 of 40 targets for 354 yards and three touchdowns.

Analysis

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.

Analysis

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, and he hasn't seen more than three targets in a game since Week 4. Sunday's score was his first of the season with Russell Wilson under center.

Analysis

Freiermuth tallied 51 receiving yards in Week 7, his first time catching passes from Russell Wilson, but he had less success the next game and was held under 20 receiving yards for just the second time this season. Freiermuth recorded 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 contests. The 26-year-old has secured 26 of 31 targets for 264 yards and two touchdowns over the first eight games of the season.

Analysis

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 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.

Analysis

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.

Analysis

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.

Analysis

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.

Analysis

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.
