Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Garrett Wilson

Tuesday, October 29, 12:39 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth came down with both of his two targets for 19 receiving yards in a 26-18 win over the New York Giants. It was an underwhelming showing for Freiermuth on Monday night after seemingly all tight ends dominated on Sunday. Fellow tight end Darnell Washington out-gained Freiermuth despite earning just one opportunity in the contest. Freiermuth has not been targeted frequently by quarterback Russell Wilson after seeing more consistent usage with Justin Fields under center through the first six weeks of the campaign. With the Steelers heading into a Week 9 bye, Freiermuth can be dropped in most formats and should be viewed as just a streaming option going forward.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has notched three 100-yard receiving games over his past four contests. He will look to keep it going against the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Wilson has yet to feel a target squeeze with Davante Adams in town as he has 17 in the two games since the Jets added the latter in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Texans have been vulnerable against receivers this season as they are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position in 2024. Wilson sets up as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 9.
