Who Should I Start? Geoff Swaim or Pat Freiermuth

Thursday, November 28, 2:52 PM

Cleveland Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) and tight end Geoff Swaim (concussion) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Both players were sidelined in Week 12, and it appears they could face an uphill battle to suit up against the Denver Broncos in Week 13, too. Wills has played in just five games this season and, if inactive, would be replaced on the offensive line by Germain Ifedi. Meanwhile, Swaim has appeared in eight games, catching just one pass for seven yards. The third tight end on the depth chart, he'd likely be replaced by Blake Whiteheart if inactive.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth continues to play less than half of the offensive snaps, and he seems to be third on the tight end pecking order behind both Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith. Freiermuth was held without a target last Sunday, and he has a modest seven catches over his last four games. The 27-year-old ranks as the overall TE24 so far this season, and his fantasy value has been largely dependent on scoring touchdowns. He has exceeded 6.5 fantasy points (PPR) just three times this year, and it happened in the three games where he scored at least one touchdown. His chances of getting back on track this week are very slim as he takes on the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has played strong defense against tight ends in 2025, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position. Freiermuth ranks as the overall TE30 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings. He can be avoided in most leagues during Week 14.
