The second-year quarterback has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-kenny-pickett-mission-to-build-chemistry-with-george-pickens" rel="noopener">pressure on his shoulders</a> to deliver on the field, but it should make things easier for him knowing that his teammates trust him.

We had that full offseason and last year, this camp and everything to get adjusted on the same page, and it’s paying off now”.</p><p>Against the Bills, Pickett saw minimal action but went 3 of 4 for 43 passing yards and a touchdown when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pat-freiermuth-fantasy-football-outlook-2023-nfl-season" rel="noopener">he connected with Freiermuth</a> in the first quarter to extend the Steelers’ lead to 14 points.</p><p>The jury appears to still be out on Pickett, but the Steelers are hoping that he can further prove in the coming season that he is the long-term answer under center for the team, which missed the playoffs in 2022 after a 9-7-1 record in the regular season. In his first season in the pros, Pickett passed for 2,404  yards with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions on a 63 percent completing rate.</p><p>Pickett and the Steelers will open their 2023 NFL regular season schedule at home in a showdown against the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sep. 10.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With an impressive sophomore-year performance and the potential for an expanded role in the offense, Freiermuth is poised to become a potential breakout fantasy star. In this in-depth analysis, we will delve into Freiermuth’s fantasy football outlook. We will explore his strengths, potential challenges, and why savvy managers should keep him on their radar for the upcoming season.</p><h2><b>Freiermuth’s 2022 Performance</b></h2><p>As he played into his second NFL season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pat-freiermuths-stunning-admission-about-kenny-pickett-mitch-trubisky-offense" rel="noopener">Freiermuth showcased immense talent</a> and emerged as one of the tight end options His reliability and consistency were evident, as he finished sixth among tight ends in targets per game with an impressive average of 6.13. Such a high level of involvement in the passing game bodes well for his future fantasy production.</p><p>Reports have surfaced that the Steelers may utilize Freiermuth more as a big slot receiver rather than a traditional tight end. This shift in his role could lead to a significant increase in targets and opportunities. Notably, when lined up in the slot last year, he averaged a <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/player/stats/_/id/4361411/pat-freiermuth" rel="noopener">remarkable 2.28 yards per route run</a>. That was second only to the great Travis Kelce. If Freiermuth’s role continues to evolve in a receiver-friendly manner, he has the potential to surpass 100 targets. We may also see a rebound in touchdown production. Recall that he had seven touchdowns in 2021 but just two last year.</p><p>Take note that he placed sixth in Pro Football Focus receiving a grade, sixth in target share (19.6 percent), sixth in air yards, and seventh in yards per route run. These statistics solidify his status as a reliable and productive fantasy tight end, making him a standout option for fantasy managers seeking a promising player for their rosters.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🚨 TOUCHDOWN STEELERS 🚨</p><p>Mitch Trubisky ➡ Pat Freiermuth cut the Ravens lead to 2! <a href="https://t.co/xKkQcsKqdv">pic.twitter.com/xKkQcsKqdv</a></p><p>— Steelers Nation (@SteelerNationCP) <a href="https://twitter.com/SteelerNationCP/status/1602041181046984704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 11, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><h2><b>Team Outlook &amp; Strength of Schedule</b></h2><p>When evaluating a player’s fantasy outlook, one crucial factor to consider is the strength of their schedule. Fortunately for Freiermuth and the Steelers, the outlook is promising. According to reports, the Steelers’ strength of schedule for tight ends ranks seventh easiest for the 2023 season. This suggests that Freiermuth could have favorable matchups that contribute to his fantasy production.</p><p>The Pittsburgh Steelers’ prospects for the 2023-24 NFL season are uncertain, but we choose to be optimistic. They have a really solid offense <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-allen-robinson-makes-confident-statement-kenny-pickett-pittsburgh-offense" rel="noopener">anchored on QB Kenny Pickett</a>, WR George Pickens, and Freiermuth. Of course, the team’s favorable strength of schedule for tight ends could work to Pat Freiermuth’s advantage, boosting his 2023 fantasy football outlook. Freiermuth’s potential for an increased role in the offense, coupled with the favorable matchups, makes him an intriguing option for fantasy managers.</p><h2><b>2023 Fantasy Outlook</b></h2><p>Without a doubt, Freiermuth is a valuable fantasy option that can be snagged in the later rounds. Despite producing just two touchdowns last year, he finished as a top-12 PPR option on a per-game basis. This highlighted his consistency and reliability. Ranking sixth in targets per game among tight ends further solidifies his potential as a fantasy star. Additionally, the Steelers’ reported plans to utilize Freiermuth as a big slot receiver could lead to an even higher number of targets and touchdowns. With these factors in play, Freiermuth has a strong chance of becoming a top-10 fantasy tight end. This makes him a worthy selection around the 100th overall pick.</p><p>Keep in mind that Freiermuth has displayed immense potential as an NFL tight end. As such, his fantasy football outlook is undeniably promising when compared to other notable players in the league. He also currently seems undervalued in fantasy drafts, with an ADP of 108.0. This may present an enticing opportunity for astute fantasy managers to snag him in the ninth round. He also ranks among the top 10 tight ends in terms of dynasty value. This indicates his potential to be a top-10 fantasy tight end in the years to come.</p><h2><b>Looking Ahead</b></h2><p>As we approach the 2023 NFL season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pat-freiermuth-gets-real-pittsburgh-drafting-darnell-washington" rel="noopener">Pat Freiermuth stands out</a> as a player with immense fantasy potential. His impressive sophomore campaign, combined with the possibility of an expanded role in the offense, makes him an intriguing option for fantasy managers. Freiermuth should also have numerous opportunities to shine on the fantasy stage. This is especially with the Steelers’ favorable strength of schedule for tight ends. Don’t overlook him in your drafts. He surely has the potential to be a top-10 fantasy tight end and a valuable asset to your team. Keep a keen eye on Freiermuth as the season unfolds, and be ready to capitalize on his breakout potential.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That’s a fact that most people know. What some people don’t realize, though, is how much different the pro game is from the collegiate level. Pittsburgh Steelers third-year TE Pat Freiermuth <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3nkwK1nYIg&amp;t=5094s" rel="noopener">shared a story of his</a> “Welcome to the NFL” moment of sorts, featuring Las Vegas Raiders<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-maxx-crosby-reveals-his-one-goal-that-will-fire-up-vegas-fans/" rel="noopener"> star edge rusher</a> Maxx Crosby on an interview with the Pardon My Take podcast.</p><p>“Maxx Crosby,” Freiermuth said without skipping a beat when asked who the hardest player to block is. “Dude, he f***ed me up. It was so bad. He sent me flying… I looked up, Kenny Pickett will confirm this story, like, ‘Dude, what do you want me to do? [He said] ‘I don’t know, go low?’ Maxx Crosby is a hell of a player.”</p><p>Crosby is one of the best edge-rushers in the league today, perhaps second only to 49ers star Nick Bosa. The two-time All-Pro defender combines speed and power in order to dominate opposing offensive linemen. Crosby clearly gave the Steelers’ pass protection fits, as evidenced by Freiermuth’s comments about defending against the edge rusher.</p><p>The Steelers are looking to make some serious noise next season after missing the playoffs in 2022. Much of their improvement hinges on Kenny Pickett’s growth in Year 2. Pittsburgh is looking to give Pickett everything he needs to be successful: better pass protection by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pittsburgh-inks-first-round-nfl-draft-pick-historic-contract-second-rounder" rel="noopener">drafting an offensive lineman</a> and more weapons in Allen Robinson.</p><p>As for Freiermuth, the Steelers tight end had a solid 2022 season after a rough first year. With Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky throwing to him, the TE tallied over 700 yards on 63 receptions along with 2 touchdowns.

Steelers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-pat-freiermuth-kenny-pickett-comments" rel="noopener">tight end Pat Freiermuth</a> is also very much satisfied with the overall quality of the team’s draft haul which includes tight end Darnell Washington.</p><p>“I love it. I think we did a great job, Pat Freiermuth <a href="https://twitter.com/EmilyGiangreco/status/1657851015482179588" rel="noopener">said</a> during his first youth football camp (h/t Emily Giangreco of WTAE). “Obviously, keep building that Pickett fence that they talk about. And getting me Darnell. Darnell’s out here today and I really appreciate that, showing his commitment to the team and to me and it’s big time. I think we did a great job in the draft.”</p><p>The expectation is that the arrival of Washington will open up more chances for Pat Freiermuth to be a bigger contributor offensively downfield. The former Penn State Nittany Lions star is becoming one of the most reliable tight ends in the passing game in the NFL. After posting 497 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 60 catches and 79 targets in his rookie season in 2021, Pat Freiermuth recorded 732 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 63 receptions and 98 targets in the 2022 NFL regular season.</p><p>Washington was taken by the Steelers in the third round (93rd overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft. At 6-7, Washington is an intriguing prospect for the Steelers, who could opt to use him more as a blocker, though, he’s also got tantalizing potential as a red-zone target. In three years with the Georgia Bulldogs, Washington racked up 774 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 45 receptions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfHErxnDm2M" rel="noopener">later appeared</a> on <i>Not Just Football With Cam Heyward </i>and clarified what he meant by his original comments.</p><p>“What I meant to say is we have hot routes on the offense, the difference in the hot routes is what made it different this year,” the Steelers tight end said. “You know Ben had his hot routes that he’s had for 18 years and Kenny just got in, so he was getting used to it, to our offensive hot routes. So it was just the differences of hot routes – we have them. I misspoke. I should have clarified on Ben’s podcast. We have hot routes, they’re just different.

Even with the QB change in 2022, Pittsburgh still finished with a 9-8 record. The team may be on the verge of making a playoff run sooner rather than later following their decent 2022 campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

During the show, the two former teammates opened up on the offense as a whole.</p><p>In 2021, Roethlisberger served as Pat Freiermuth’s starting quarterback. But following his retirement, the Steelers looked to retool the position. This led to them drafting <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-mitch-trubiskys-future-gets-intriguing-outlook-amid-kenny-pickett-emergence" rel="noopener">Kenny Pickett</a> and signing free agent Mitchell Trubisky.</p><p>When talking about change in quarterbacks, Freiermuth was asked how the offense was altered.</p><p>“I tell Kenny this all the time. It’s different because we didn’t have hots. With you, how many times did we have a concept and you looked (at Diontae Johnson) and gave a signal and it be a 12-yard completion. We didn’t have that this year.” stated Freiermuth</p><p>He then added, “Instead of looking at you the whole time, we were looking at coverage. Like, I know what I’m supposed to do. It was almost too slow at first because you weren’t anticipating.”</p><p>It appears that with the introduction of two new quarterbacks to the offense, the Steelers opted to take a simple approach. And the players saw the impact on the field.</p><p>In his second NFL season, Pat Freiermuth played a key role in the Steelers offense. He finished the year recording 63 receptions for 732 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.</p><p>Along with Freiermuth, the Steelers have assembled a solid pass-catching core. As Pickett continues to learn the NFL game, this offense will continue to evolve.

However, Steelers fans and fantasy football owners may have to get by without him Sunday when the Steelers play at Carolina.</p><p>The tight end is battling a foot injury and he <a href="https://twitter.com/FantasyProsNFL/status/1603477933020045324" rel="noopener">did not participate</a> in Thursday’s practice session. He is a vital part of Pittsburgh’s offense with 53 receptions for 630 yards and 2 touchdowns. Friermuth is the team’s second leading receiver behind Diontae Johnson.</p><p>The Steelers are 5-8 and outside the playoff structure. They are 2 games behind the 7th-place New England Patriots, but 5 other teams are also chasing that last spot who are 5-8 or better.

In addition to Freiermuth’s status, it seems quite likely that rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett will also be out of action. Pickett (concussion) was limited in practice and the Steelers are most likely going to turn to Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph.</p><p>Trubisky has completed 100 of 158 passes for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-news-mike-tomlin-drops-qb-update-after-mitchell-trubiskys-brutal-outing-vs-ravens" rel="noopener">1,073 yards</a> with 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. While Trubisky has experience on his side, but he threw 3 interceptions in Pittsburgh’s Week 14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.</p><p>Rudolph could be a better answer for the Steelers than Trubisky at this point in the season. Rudolph has yet to play this season, but he has played 17 games for the Steelers, including 10 as a starter.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There were plenty of people who felt as if Pickett should have been the original starter over Mitch Trubisky, but Pittsburgh rolled with the veteran to open the season. Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth shared his thoughts on the Kenny Pickett decision, <a href="https://twitter.com/bepryor/status/1577042846712233984">per Brooke Pryor on Twitter</a>.</p><p>“I think with Kenny in there we were able to be the aggressor,” Freiermuth said. “Obviously some mistakes are gonna happen, tipped balls and all that kind of stuff, but we have to continue to work past that and be there for Kenny, especially since he’s a young guy.”</p><p>Freiermuth stated that the Steelers were more aggressive with Kenny Picket under center. Mitch Trubisky had thrown for over 650 passing yards to go along with 2 touchdowns through the Steelers’ first 4 games. However, he’d also tossed 2 interceptions and posted a 73.7 QB rating.</p><p>Kenny Pickett was a highly-touted QB out of Pitt. The rookie impressed during training camp but was relegated to the backup role despite his strong preseason effort. Mike Tomlin <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/steelers-coach-mike-tomlin-finally-turns-to-kenny-pickett-with-mitch-trubisky-benching/">ultimately made the decision</a> to replace Trubisky with Pickett in the middle of the Steelers’ Week 4 loss to the New York Jets.</p><p>Kenny Pickett’s first throw went for an interception. But the rookie QB bounced back and finished the game going 10-13 through the air. Pittsburgh wants to give him a chance and see what he can do moving forward.

Pittsburgh just got some unfortunate news as their tight end Pat Freiermuth was taken to the locker room for a <a href="https://twitter.com/dlolley_pgh/status/1472659357280186370">concussion</a> evaluation.</p><p>Freiermuth caught a 5-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger and got hit in the head. He stayed down on the ground after the play. It is unclear if he’s going to return to this game but the injury didn’t look too good. This is unfortunate news for the Steelers because they’re going to need him if they want to win this game against the Titans. He’s having an impressive season this year as he currently has 385 yards and seven touchdowns.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">On 3rd &amp; 1, Roethlisberger 5-yd pass to Freiermuth who is down hurt<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Titans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#Titans</a> 13 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Steelers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#Steelers</a> 3 Q3 <a href="https://t.co/EiOU0FqKhV" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/EiOU0FqKhV</a></p><p>— Sports 24/7 (@Sports24x7_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Sports24x7_/status/1472658995974451204?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">December 19, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The Steelers are only down three points in this one late in the third quarter as they trail 13-10. This would be a big game for them to win because they could potentially move into second place of the AFC North division with losses by Cleveland and Cincinnati. The Baltimore Ravens are going to be without quarterback Lamar Jackson so there is a good chance that they are going to lose to a very good Green Bay Packers team.</p><p>It’s the perfect week for the Steelers to take advantage, they’re going to need to find a way to walk away with the victory so that they can stay in playoff contention. It’s not going to be easy to win this one without Freiermuth.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Freiermuth was on the field for 47 of the Steelers’ 62 offensive snaps in Week 12, recording four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. He left the game late in the fourth quarter after sustaining a knock to his head.</p><p>The loss of the budding star rookie would be a big blow for Pittsburgh, who just recently placed veteran tight end Eric Ebron on Injured Reserve after he hurt his knee. If Freiermuth is unable to suit up on Sunday against Baltimore, the Steelers would be down their two top tight ends in what could be a pivotal game.</p><p>With Ebron and potentially Freiermuth out for the Week 13 matchup, fellow tight ends Zach Gentry and Kevin Rader may be in line for a significant increase in snap count. Other Steelers appearing on the injury report included T.J. Watt, Joe Haden, Christian Kuntz and Robert Spillane.</p><p>The Penn State product has helped revamp the Steelers’ offense in 2021, recording 40 receptions for 327 yards and six touchdowns on the season. He’s featured on at least 55% of the Steelers’ offensive snaps in each of the past six weeks, having fully established his role within the offense.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
