BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: A new era has begun at tight end in Pittsburgh. Eric Ebron had a good run in 2020 and brought some stability back to the position, but he was never the long-term answer for the Steelers. The team needed a dependable tight end with all-around skills, Northeastern toughness and a nose for the end zone like Heath Miller used to have back in the old days. The Steelers have finally found that man.
Penn State product Freiermuth made a statement this past Sunday with four receptions for 44 yards and a TD against division rival Cleveland. He has now been targeted seven times in back-to-back games and is an integral part of Pittsburgh’s short-pass offense. The TE job is all his as Ebron is hurt and past his prime when fully healthy anyway.
Freiermuth next has a bruised Chicago defense whose pass defense is not the same when Khalil Mack is not pressuring the opposing passer. San Francisco’s Deebo Samuel sliced up the Bears' secondary for 171 yards in Week 8. Freiermuth can be picked up and slotted in as an above-average No. 2 TE on your fantasy squad or a low-end No. 1 who has the skills to transform into a cornerstone of your fantasy franchise in the coming weeks and years.
