Pat Freiermuth at Tampa Bay — Red-Zone Weapon Faces Questionable Tag
Freiermuth was a late addition to Saturday's injury report with a calf issue, though reports indicate Pittsburgh remains optimistic he will play in Tampa Bay. Operating as the primary tight end with Aaron Rodgers under center, he enters the week riding considerable momentum after scoring three touchdowns over his past two games. With wideouts Michael Pittman and Roman Wilson sidelined, Freiermuth should command steady looks if cleared.
Our weekly projection expects 9.8 fantasy points, anticipating roughly four receptions for 37 yards. Currently started in 49% of leagues, he remains a solid TE1 streaming option with proven red-zone upside. However, with the questionable designation, fantasy managers should check back before kickoff to verify his active status.
