Slow day at the office for Pat Freiermuth in Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards in a Week 6 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Why It Matters: This was Freiermuth’s fewest targets all season, as fellow TE Darnell Washington had six targets, four receptions and a score. One has to wonder if his late addition to the injury report with a calf issue had something to do with his meager production. That said, Freiermuth has four touchdowns this year and is still a TE2 option, especially with the receiving corps as beat up as it is. Assuming he is injury-free next week, Freiermuth warrants low-end TE1 consideration against the Saints.
