Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Trey McBride

Friday, November 21, 8:30 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth had just one reception last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that he has dominated throughout his career. His role in the offense remains incredibly unpredictable heading into a Week 12 bout with the Chicago Bears. The Steelers are seemingly taking a hot-hand approach at the tight end position, giving more snaps and opportunities to whichever player makes an early impact. Last week, that was Darnell Washington, who posted a career high in receiving yardage and could be featured more in the coming weeks. Even with the Bears offering a decent matchup for Freiermuth, fantasy managers can't reasonably depend on him in starting lineups on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride enters Week 12 as RotoBaller's No. 1 overall-ranked tight end and holds tier one to himself. The 26-year-old has set the fantasy world on fire again with back-to-back 27-plus point performances and No. 1 overall finishes. McBride will once again be the focal point of the passing game with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) missing his second straight game after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis. Heading into Week 12, McBride will face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns this season. McBride has caught at least one touchdown pass in his previous five games and has six total touchdowns during that stretch. McBride is a set-it-and-forget-it TE1 with massive upside heading into Sunday in a favorable matchup.
