Elic Ayomanor at CIN — Expanded Opportunity in a Potential Pass-Heavy Script

With top wide receiver Carnell Tate ruled out with a shoulder injury, Ayomanor steps into an elevated role in the Titans' passing attack. Coming off a season-high seven targets against Cleveland, the second-year receiver should see steady involvement on the outside, especially as massive road underdogs against Cincinnati.

Our projections estimate roughly 5.4 fantasy points on 5.2 targets and 39 receiving yards, reflecting a modest baseline in Tennessee's struggling offense. While his roster rate sits near 2%, the projected pass-heavy volume gives him sneaky upside as a deep-league flier, though he is best left on benches in standard formats.

Outlook Pat Freiermuth

Pat Freiermuth vs. Browns — Modest Floor in Low-Scoring Divisional Clash

Freiermuth enters Week 8 healthy and operating as Pittsburgh's top tight end, catching passes from Aaron Rodgers in a clash between two 5-2 division rivals. While he scored four touchdowns over his first five contests, his production has cooled off lately, totaling just four catches for 31 yards on seven targets across his last two games.

In a physical matchup featuring a low 39-point total, scoring chances could be limited. Our weekly projections forecast Freiermuth for approximately 3.3 receptions and 33 receiving yards (5.7 fantasy points). Started in just 20% of leagues, he is best viewed as a touchdown-reliant streaming choice for tight-end-needy rosters.
