Freiermuth sits as a steady Week 6 option behind the Steelers’ offense, with the potential to chip in against Cleveland as Pittsburgh leans into 12-personnel and volume.

Freiermuth has been a steady, but underwhelming, option for Pittsburgh through four games, with 7 catches for 65 yards on 10 targets and no touchdowns, offering a reliable but unspectacular weekly floor in Rodgers' evolving offense.

Freiermuth is underutilized in Pittsburgh's passing game, despite being the second-best target on the roster. With only 10 targets in four games, unlocking his route tree could significantly lift the offense and fantasy upside.

Freiermuth’s role has diminished as Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington take on larger parts of Pittsburgh’s passing game, making him a prime trade candidate for teams seeking a proven receiving tight end who can contribute as a move threat and red-zone option.

Freiermuth is highlighted as a potential high‐floor target amid the WR depth crisis, offering a reliable outlet in the middle and red‐zone efficiency.
