Who Should I Start? Stephen Sullivan or Pat Freiermuth

Carolina Panthers tight ends Tommy Tremble (hip) and Stephen Sullivan (shoulder) are active for Week 14 versus the New Orleans Saints. Both players had been listed as questionable. Neither player is on the fantasy radar this week given their consistently small roles within the struggling Panthers offense. The same goes for Ian Thomas, who is also healthy.

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.
