Outlook Pierre Strong
Pierre Strong relegated to reserve duties as Packers host Panthers
Strong continues to operate in a depth role behind Josh Jacobs in Green Bay's backfield. While he flashed solid pass-catching ability earlier this month after Chris Brooks landed on injured reserve, Strong saw his offensive presence completely vanish last week when he failed to log a single carry or target.
Facing the Panthers at Lambeau Field, our projections anticipate minimal involvement, slating him for roughly 1.2 fantasy points on one to two rush attempts and marginal receiving work. With an ownership rate of just 5% and no standalone touch floor, fantasy managers should leave him firmly on benches this week.

Pat Freiermuth vs. Browns: Streaming Option in a Defensive Battle
Freiermuth enters Week 8 healthy after shaking off an earlier calf issue, operating as Pittsburgh's top tight end. With wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson sidelined on injured reserve, Aaron Rodgers should lean on his reliable tight end over the middle against Cleveland.
While he hauled in two touchdowns in Week 5, Freiermuth has cooled off with only four catches for 31 yards combined across his last two games. Our projections forecast roughly 3 receptions for 28 yards on four to five targets in this divisional matchup. Rostered in 65% of leagues but started in just 30%, Freiermuth profiles as a touchdown-dependent streaming candidate on the TE1/TE2 borderline.
