Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Two catches in Week 6 win
Freiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime win over the Bucs.
Freiermuth entered Week 6 questionable due to a calf injury, but he ended up running 41 routes on Aaron Rodgers' 56 dropbacks. The tight end just didn't do much in the box score and was targeted on just 6.1 percent of Rodgers' 49 pass attempts. Freiermuth has already scored four touchdowns this season but has just 180 receiving yards on 21 grabs across 29 targets through six games. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Active in Week 6
Freiermuth (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Buccaneers.
Freiermuth was tacked on to the Steelers' injury report Saturday after he dealt with calf tightness during the team's walkthrough, but reports earlier Sunday indicated the veteran tight end was trending toward active status. Freiermuth's availability is now official, and after recording three touchdown receptions over the last two games, he could be in for another busy afternoon Sunday due to Pittsburgh being without all of Michael Pittman (IR, foot), Roman Wilson (IR, finger) and Ben Skowronek (calf) in terms of pass-catching options.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Chance to play in Week 6
The Steelers are "optimistic" that Freiermuth (calf) -- who is listed as questionable -- will play Sunday at Tampa Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Pittsburgh added Freiermuth to the injury report Saturday, even though he was a full participant in practice throughout the week. Despite Freiermuth's late addition to the report, the Steelers are seemingly of the belief that he'll be available Sunday, which will be confirmed approximately 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Freiermuth isn't 100 percent, Darnell Washington and Robert Tonyan will be on hand for increased roles at tight end.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Dealing with calf injury, iffy for Week 6
Freiermuth (calf) was added to the injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The late addition of a calf issue puts Freiermuth's availability in doubt ahead of Week 6. He's coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Colts in Week 5, but if he's sidelined for Sunday, then Darnell Washington would step into a larger role offensively, with Robert Tonyan also in the mix for more snaps.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Finds end zone twice in win over Indy
Freiermuth caught five of seven targets for 44 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-22 win over the Colts. He added one yard on his lone carry.
The veteran tight end connected with Aaron Rodgers on a one-yard score in the second quarter and a 17-yard strike in the fourth. Freiermuth is up to four touchdowns through five games to begin the season, already matching his total over 17 regular-season contests in 2025, and his 19 catches has him on pace to match the career-high 65 passes he hauled in during 2024. Freiermuth will look to keep rolling in a Week 6 road trip to Tampa Bay.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Gets into end zone Thursday
Freiermuth brought in three of five targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Browns on Thursday.
Freiermuth and fellow tight end Darnell Washington each had three catches and a touchdown on five targets, as the two continued in a pretty even timeshare at the position. Freiermuth's scoring grab was particularly timely, as it came with 1:42 remaining and put the Steelers within two points of knotting the game up at 24-24. Freiermuth has multiple receptions in every game this season and a pair of touchdown catches, and he should remain in a similar role when Pittsburgh returns to action in a Week 5 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday, Oct. 11.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Held to two catches in Week 3
Freiermuth recorded two receptions for 30 yards on four targets and carried once for one yard in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals.
Freiermuth took the field for 37 of the Steelers' 62 offensive snaps, with his 60 percent share placing him slightly behind fellow tight end Darnell Washington (47 snaps, 76 percent). The Steelers should continue to make ample use of two-tight-end sets to keep Freiermuth involved in their game plans, but since he doesn't project to see heavy target volume week to week, he'll remain a largely touchdown-dependent fantasy option.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Accumulates 34 yards in Week 2 loss
Freiermuth caught four passes (on five targets) for 32 yards while logging a two-yard carry during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Freiermuth and Darnell Washington were both named starters for Sunday's game, with the former leading all Steelers tight ends with 46 of 67 offensive snaps (68.7 percent). Unlike Week 1 against the Falcons, Freiermuth did not draw a red-zone target from Aaron Rodgers in Week 2, with the veteran quarterback averaging just 4.8 yards per pass attempt against New England. Freiermuth will take a 9-78-1 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 3 AFC North divisional showdown against the Bengals.

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Grabs TD in Week 1 victory
Freiermuth caught all five of his targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over Atlanta.
Freiermuth looked great in Pittsburgh's season opener, ranking second on the team in receiving yardage and tying for first in catches. He accounted for the Steelers' lone offensive touchdown when he connected with Aaron Rodgers for a six-yard score in the second quarter. The five receptions were as many as Freiermuth had in any contest all of last season. Meanwhile, Darnell Washington had a quieter game statistically with two catches (on two targets) for 18 yards. Freiermuth and Washington figure to jockey for tight-end targets and snaps throughout the campaign.
