Should I Start Pat Freiermuth?

Friday, November 13, 3:54 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been outproduced by teammate Darnell Washington in recent weeks and will look to bounce back against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 10. Freiermuth has delivered several big fantasy performances against Cincinnati throughout his career, but he was held to just two catches for 30 yards when these division rivals last met in Week 3. Although the Bengals have allowed only one touchdown to an opposing tight end this season, they are still giving up the fourth-most receiving yards and the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Still, it's difficult to trust Freiermuth at this point given his inconsistent role and snap split with Washington. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option can take a shot on Freiermuth in what projects to be a high-scoring affair, but the 28-year-old should not be considered a dependable fantasy asset.
