The Pittsburgh Steelers could require veteran tight end Pat Freiermuth to take on an increased role in Week 15, as star wide receiver George Pickens is likely to miss another week with a hamstring injury. It’s good news for fantasy football managers who might be in need of a play for Week 15 if they are yet to find an answer at our game’s trickiest position.
In seven games as a starter, Russell Wilson is averaging 254.9 passing yards per game in comparison to Justin Fields’ 184.3 as a starter, as well as a 5.6% TD rate to Fields 3.1%; the opportunity is certainly there for someone to take over. Since the team’s Week 9 bye, Freiermuth has finished as a top-eight fantasy TE in three of five games, including back-to-back games of 12+ fantasy points in Weeks 13 and 14.
