Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Brevin Jordan

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth said on the Around the 412 podcast on Wednesday that he wants "to be in Pittsburgh for the rest of my career" as he heads into the final year of his rookie contract in 2024. He missed five games in 2023 due to a hamstring injury, but overall his numbers declined from the previous two seasons. Subpar quarterback play didn't help, and the 25-year-old former second-round pick in 2021 out of Penn State caught a career-low 32 passes for 308 yards and only two touchdowns in 12 regular season games (nine starts). In new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's offense, Freiermuth could have a bounce-back campaign in 2024 and will be a nice sleeper target in fantasy drafts this fall.

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan caught both of his targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Despite operating behind Dalton Schultz, Jordan was able to contribute offensively with Houston's lone receiving touchdown. On that note, Jordan doesn't see much volume when Schultz is healthy and has never been a consistent touchdown scorer. As long as he remains in a depth role, Jordan can be left off the fantasy radar.
