2023 Fantasy Outlook
Freiermuth’s involvement as a pass catcher grew significantly in 2022, his second NFL season, except in the red zone where Mitch Trubisky and rookie Kenny Pickett were unable to utilize the tight end as effectively as veteran Ben Roethlisberger had the previous year. The 2021 second-round pick scored only twice in 2022 after scoring seven times as a rookie, though Freiermuth otherwise set new highs with 63 catches, 732 yards and 98 targets in his sophomore season. He tied for fourth among tight ends in overall targets but finished in a tie for 10th with only 13 red-zone targets, well short of the 20 he saw in 2021. Freiermuth has yet to catch a touchdown from Pickett, who will mostly be working with the same receiving crew after the Steelers put more focus on their offensive line this offseason, settling for WR Allen Robinson and third-round rookie TE Darnell Washington as additions at the skill positions. Freiermuth sprained the ACL and MCL in his left knee during Pittsburgh’s season finale, but the injury didn’t require surgery to heal and isn't expected to impact his involvement in training camp.

Minimal production Monday
Freiermuth secured his lone target for two yards during the Steelers' 26-22 win over the Browns on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Freiermuth exited last week's regular-season opener with a chest injury but didn't appear to have significant limitations Monday while playing 76 percent of the team's offensive snaps. While the 2021 second-rounder managed to prop up his fantasy output by reaching the end zone in Week 1, he was unable to do the same against Cleveland in prime time. Freiermuth has had a slow start to the season, securing two of five targets for five yards and that touchdown, but he'll have a more favorable matchup against Las Vegas on Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Kyle Pitts deservedly drew most of the fanfare at tight end ahead of last year’s draft, but the
Steelers found a good one 51 picks later in the second round. Freiermuth naturally took a few
weeks to get acclimated, but after totaling just 11 catches for 100 yards and a touchdown in his
first five games, the Penn State product broke out with seven catches for 58 yards in Week 6
and never looked back, hauling in 49 passes for 397 yards and six touchdowns in his next 11
games. Freiermuth is more of a traditional chain-mover than a field-stretcher, but he has already
established himself as a weapon near the goal line — his 20 red-zone targets tied for the league
lead among tight ends, and his 13 catches on those targets came one shy of Travis Kelce’s
league high at the position. Pittsburgh has an uncertain quarterback situation following Ben
Roethlisberger’s retirement this offseason, but whether it’s free-agent addition Mitch Trubisky or
first-round pick Kenny Pickett, Freiermuth should be a reliable security blanket in his second
year. While Freiermuth’s ceiling might not rival that of the league’s top tight ends, he has already
shown he knows how to use his 258-pound frame, and further development could lead to a
larger role outside the red zone as well.
