Will Pat Freiermuth play in Week 13? Fantasy outlook for the Pittsburgh TE

Pat Freiermuth plays as a tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. He was one of the more heralded players in his position coming into the 2021 NFL Draft. The Steelers selected the Penn State University alum in the second round.

This selection yielded great dividends, as Freiermuth was among the top 15 tight ends in last year's fantasy league. Freiermuth is looking good in year two as he looks to fulfill his potential and become one of the best to do it.

Last time out for the Steelers, Freiermuth ranked third on the team in receiving yards and targets and second in receptions. The second-year tight end has been a consistent option for fantasy managers this season. However, Week 12 was his worst fantasy performance since Week 5 against the Bills. Nevertheless, Freiermuth will be a solid TE1 in Week 13 against the Falcons.

Pat Freiermuth will play for the Pittsburgh Steelers this week in their matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams head into this match with similar records, and the game is a make-or-break one. Freiermuth is one of the Steelers' main offensive threats, and he should feast against an inconsistent Atlanta defense.

The Falcons will have their work cut out, as Freiermuth is currently ranked as the tenth-best tight end according to the official fantasy rankings. He has racked up 58.1 points at an average of 5.8 points per game. It seems likely Freiermuth will score solid, dependable points and if he gets in the endzone, he should be in for a big week.

Pat Freiermuth is playing in his second season in the NFL, with the Penn State University alum catching touchdown passes from an array of QBs. Last season, the TE recorded 60 receptions for 497 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

This season has seen him record 47 receptions for 521 receiving yards and one TD. We will see if he can push on as the season enters its final phase.
