Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Noah Gray

Tuesday, November 25, 10:30 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 19 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old secured Mason Rudolph's lone passing score, a three-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Though Freiermuth ranks second on the Steelers in receiving yards and touchdowns, he's fifth in targets, trailing DK Metcalf (ankle), Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, and Jonnu Smith. Even with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) expected back in Week 13, Freiermuth can't be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially against a Buffalo Bills defense that has shut down opposing tight ends this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out tight end Noah Gray (concussion) for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the hosting Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gray will not have enough time to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week. His next chance to play will come in Week 14 against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Dec. 7. Travis Kelce will continue to operate as one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top options in the passing game, but with Gray out on Thursday, both Robert Tonyan and Jared Wiley will have a chance to see the field more. The 26-year-old Gray has not been on the fantasy football radar in most leagues in 2025, catching 16 of his 28 targets for 132 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played.
