Pat Freiermuth vs. Bengals — Reliable Underneath Option in AFC North Showdown

Operating as Pittsburgh's top tight end, Freiermuth has opened the season with high efficiency, reeling in nine of his 10 targets for 78 yards and a score through two games. With starting wideout Michael Pittman Jr. currently nursing a foot injury, Freiermuth could see his target share increase over the middle of the field against Cincinnati.

Our projections anticipate another steady showing, projecting him for 8.3 fantasy points on approximately 3.4 catches and 35 yards. While rostered in only 24% of leagues and started in 6%, his consistent role and red-zone presence make him a viable streaming target for tight end-needy managers.

Outlook Aaron Jones Sr.

Aaron Jones Sr. at Tampa Bay — Workhorse Opportunity Awaits if Knee Clears

Jones handled a heavy 23 carries for 105 yards last week against Chicago, but he is currently listed as questionable after finishing the game with knee soreness. With primary backfield mate Jordan Mason sidelined on injured reserve, Jones clearly commands Minnesota's lead rushing role ahead of backups DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne.

Monitor his practice status closely, but if he plays, our weekly projection anticipates roughly 16 carries and 69 rushing yards against Tampa Bay. With nearly 97% roster ownership and an expanding share of early-down volume, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into lineups as a strong RB2 option.
