Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, September 13, 12:04 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth saw three targets last week and will look to build on his chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle was middle-of-the-road against opposing tight ends last season, but surrendered plenty of fantasy points to the position in its season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately for Freiermuth, new addition Jonnu Smith appears to have a more significant role in Pittsburgh's offense. Smith led the Steelers' tight end room in snaps, targets, and receptions in Week 1. Freiermuth has proven to be a productive player over his five-year career, so while he is sure to have some big games this season, it will be difficult to predict them so long as the team's weapons stay healthy. He should be rostered in dynasty formats, but Freiermuth can remain on waiver wires in most redraft leagues.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (groin) was deemed limited for the team's walkthrough on Tuesday ahead of its Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night. Arroyo has just three catches for 38 yards on five targets through the first three games of his NFL career. Arroyo is behind AJ Barner on the tight end depth chart in Seattle, and third-stringer Eric Saubert could be in line for more playing time if Arroyo is unable to play on Thursday. Even if Arroyo is good to go in Week 4, he should remain off of fantasy radars.
