Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Pat Freiermuth

Saturday, November 14, 7:44 AM

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Saturday that they added tight end Pat Freiermuth (illness) to the Week 10 injury report, and he is questionable to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals due to an illness. This news now makes Freiermuth a pretty shaky tight end streamer for Week 10 action against the Bengals, with the game not kicking off until Sunday evening. It also means that fellow TE Darnell Washington could be a sneaky deep-league streamer at the position against a Bengals defense that has allowed 228.3 passing yards per game through nine weeks, which ranks as the 12th-most in the league. The 28-year-old Freiermuth has been a touchdown-dependent TE2 so far in 2026 in his sixth year in the NFL, with Washington getting more involved in the passing attack. He comes off the team's bye week with 25 catches on 35 targets for 235 yards (9.4 yards per reception) and four touchdowns. Freiermuth has not found the end zone in the last three games since scoring twice in the win over the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 11. He also has not exceeded 46 yards (which came in the season-opening win over the Atlanta Falcons) all year, giving him a pretty low fantasy ceiling and floor this year.
