Outlook Pat Freiermuth
Pat Freiermuth vs. Colts — Streaming TE Option with Red-Zone Upside
Operating as Pittsburgh's top tight end, Freiermuth has posted 14 receptions on 19 targets and two touchdowns across his first four games. With wideout Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve, Aaron Rodgers may rely more on his reliable safety valve over the middle against an Indianapolis defense facing a low 42-point projected total.
Our projections forecast Freiermuth for 3.3 catches, 34.3 yards, and 8.3 fantasy points, making him a touchdown-dependent option. Given his 26% roster rate, fantasy managers should view him as a matchup-dependent streamer in deeper leagues whose ceiling is tied to finding the end zone.

Outlook Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard vs IND — Expanding Depth Role in Pittsburgh's Passing Attack
With Michael Pittman Jr. landing on injured reserve due to a foot injury, rookie receiver Germie Bernard has an opportunity to carve out additional rotational snaps. Working behind DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson on the depth chart, Bernard has hauled in three catches for 25 yards over his last two games, earning occasional trust from Aaron Rodgers.
Despite the injuries in the receiving corps, Bernard remains a low-volume option. Our projections anticipate roughly 2.4 receptions on nearly four targets for 29 receiving yards (6.4 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. Started in just 1% of leagues, fantasy managers in standard formats should keep him on the bench or treat him as a deep-league stash.
