Outlook Pat Freiermuth
Pat Freiermuth at Tampa Bay — Surging Red-Zone Role in Thinned Offense
Freiermuth brings strong momentum into Week 6 after catching two touchdowns from Aaron Rodgers last week. With wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson sidelined, Pittsburgh's lead tight end steps into a prime target share. He has commanded 12 targets and scored three times over his last two contests.
Fantasy managers have responded quickly, pushing his start rate up to 56%. Our weekly projection anticipates around 10.1 fantasy points on roughly four catches for 38 yards against the Buccaneers. Even in a lower-scoring road matchup, Freiermuth's red-zone chemistry makes him a dependable lineup option this week.

Outlook Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals vs. Chargers — Minimal Usage Expected Despite Depleted Receiver Room
Kansas City faces Los Angeles with wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton both ruled out, giving Royals an opportunity for added snaps on the perimeter. Even with vacated targets across the offense, Royals has drawn just two targets across his recent action, meaning Patrick Mahomes will likely lean more on Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy.
Our weekly projection pegs Royals for 1.6 catches and roughly 20 receiving yards on 3.3 targets (4.7 fantasy points). Kansas City sits as heavy favorites in an expected lower-scoring matchup, and with Royals rostered in just 2% of leagues, fantasy managers should leave him on the bench in standard formats.
