Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Pat Freiermuth

Saturday, November 15, 12:53 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has had a small uptick in fantasy production of late. While the volume hasn't been there, the veteran has at least found the end zone in two of the Bengals' previous three contests. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) still on the shelf, Fant remains the favorite to remain the team's go-to tight end for Joe Flacco (shoulder), at least for the next few games. However, that doesn't mean Fant is a starting fantasy option for the Week 11 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he can be viewed as a dart-throw streamer for those participating in deep league, multi-tight end formats.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has scored three touchdowns in the past four weeks and is set to take on a familiar foe in the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Freiermuth has a long history of success against the Bengals, most recently erupting for 111 yards and two touchdowns when these division rivals met in Week 7. Though the weekly target distribution between Pittsburgh's three tight ends is unpredictable, Freiermuth has outpaced both Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington in fantasy scoring since the Steelers' Week 5 bye. None of them are safe options in Week 11, but Freiermuth's recent chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his track record against the Bengals give him the highest ceiling of the group. He has appeal as a streaming option in what could be another shootout.
