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.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt vs. Seattle — Quarterback Uncertainty and Tough Game Script Cloud Outlook

Croskey-Merritt has operated as Washington's primary early-down runner with 28 carries across his first two games, sharing backfield duties with Rachaad White. The offense faces serious headwinds this week, however, as starting quarterback Jayden Daniels is doubtful with an elbow injury, likely depressing overall team efficiency and red-zone trips.

With Washington entering as a 7-point underdog in a low-scoring matchup, game script could easily squeeze out a runner who has caught only two passes for negative yardage. Our projections slate him for around 12 carries, 47 rushing yards, and 9.1 fantasy points, making him a touchdown-dependent flex option best reserved for deeper leagues.
