With the Eric Ebron era finally dashed in Pittsburgh, Freiermuth had a chance to push back against the notion that rookie tight ends can't be trusted for fantasy production. On the back of seven touchdowns, and the 12th most receptions among tight ends, the former Nittany Lion solidified himself as a trusted member of the Pittsburgh offense. The athletic 6'5'', 260-pounder should still be a factor in the redzone and a safety net for either quarterback. There is a bit of a scary injury history to consider with Freiermuth, as he suffered two concussions during his rookie year, but as a player you won't have to reach for in a muddled TE1/2 area, it shouldn't be enough to dissuade you.

 Pat Freiermuth nursing knee sprain
Suffered MCL sprain, will not require surgery

FFToday's Take: Freiermuth will not begin the offseason healthy, but it is encouraging that he should be able to train as he normally would during the offseason starting sometime in February. Although his touchdowns dipped from seven as a rookie to two in 2022, he caught three more passes as a sophomore and gained 235 more yards. After emerging as quite possibly Kenny Pickett's most trusted target this season, Freiermuth should be considered a top-eight option at the position heading into 2023 drafts.
