Yeah after the first quarter I felt the same way. Maybe he’s healing up and Pickett gets better. Not that much out there at TE. I missed the early claims on Laporta etc.This guy was one play action TD catch away from being dropped this week. Sheesh.
He's barely even targeted. He's a TE2 IMO
I dropped him and haven't looked back. Rather just play roulette than deal with Steelers offense clowns right now.He's barely even targeted. He's a TE2 IMO
He finished TE8 this week in my league and after week 3 TE14 overall. We will see what the other TEs do tonight but so far this week not bad. The whole PIT offense is anemic right now for sure.
The waiver is thin. Next best options are Musgrave, Hurst, and Ferguson who all have 22-23 points 3 weeks in. Pat has 22 himself right now. Dunno what to do.
I traded for Andrews and have Muth as a backup. Of course Muth outscored Andrews this week but yeah I agree. I want no part of this Steelers offense anymore.I dropped him and haven't looked back.

TE Pat Freiermuth getting injured hamstring scanned today. It’s not just a tweak.
I think I gotta drop him. Damn.
Ditto. Cutting him in one league. May hold on to him in a 14-teamer where there's absolutely nothing better at TE on the wire. Injury + pathetic offense = no bueno.I think I gotta drop him. Damn.
May cut him for Musgrave
Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) said he expects to play in Week 7 against the Rams.
Freiermuth missed the Steelers’ Week 5 contest against the Ravens, but was on the field Monday following the team’s Week 6 bye. Speaking after practice, Freiermuth said he would have been well enough to play in Week 6 if not for the team’s bye week, indicating he’ll be ready to go for Week 7. Freiermuth has eight receptions for 53 yards and two touchdowns this season, and will face added target competition with Diontae Johnson (hamstring) also on the verge of a return. Freiermuth will be hard to trust as anything more than a touchdown dependent TE2 in next week’s contest.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Steelers plan to activate TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) prior to Week 11 against the Browns.
began his 21-day practice window this week, getting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He has been out since Week 4 with a hamstring injury, grabbing eight receptions in four games played. Freiermuth has been listed as questionable on the Steelers’ final Week 11 injury report. His return will make Connor Heyward fantasy irrelevant, though Freiermuth himself is barely a TE2 with Kenny Pickett at quarterback.
can someone explain this to me? Please.@32BeatWriters
Not sure if this is a good thing, but….
“Pat Freiermuth talked about taking on the Kyle Pitts role in (Arthur) Smith’s offense, which could have the Penn State product in line for a breakout year, if he can put the injury woes of 2023 behind him.”x.com

Didn't Pitts suck (compared to his potential)?
@32BeatWriters
“It has been well documented how Smith likes to use tight ends in his offense, and that was evident at OTAs.
Feiermuth was not only targeted often, but he looked like a legitimate playmaker in this offense.”x.com

Jonnu & Pitts both had solid seasons in ATL.Because it seems like ATL didn't use the TEs that much?

I’d be very optimistic if I were a Friermouth shareholder. Especially considering Russ’ arm isn’t as strong as it once was, and Fields loves TEs in the RZ.
Big season coming for Patty football.

Smith was HC for three years, is that correct? Maybe I'm looking at bad data? But ATL TEs combined for:
2023 : 68/717/5
2022 : 52/695/6
2021 : 106/1313/5
I'm not sure how that stands out against all other TE groups across the league, but that does not seem like a coach who likes the position?

He’s my TE1 target at ADP in redraft. Id rather stack up on top flight WR & at least 1 elite or semi-elite RB, maybe even a QB, then take PF - should be a relatively safe weekly floor with some boom games.ATL QB was terrible.

Jonnu 69 targets
Pitts 89 targets
As the roster stands now, Freiermuth will be #2 in targets behind Pickens and could easily put up several 100+ yard games. Decent play if you miss out on the top TE.
best ball drafts, TE feels like a ton of value right now compared to last year. Kelce round 4 (was 1st rounder last year), Andrews/Kincaid round 5. Kittle rd 6. Hockinson (injury gamble) and Freiermuth rd 12.He’s my TE1 target at ADP in redraft.

Very true. Estimate 175 TE passesGood news: Arthur Smith likes to use his TE's
Not so good news: Arthur Smith likes to use ALL of his TE's.
On the one hand, I watched Kyle Pitts get mis-used for years.Good news: Arthur Smith likes to use his TE's

So kind of a bad news bad news take. I like it!On the one hand, I watched Kyle Pitts get mis-used for years.Good news: Arthur Smith likes to use his TE's

On the other hand, I have Darnell Washington buried on my bench.
