Week 7 at Los Angeles Rams
Pat Freiermuth missed the game before the bye week, but is expected to be back for the Rams game. His number have been disappointing, but we still think he has potential to put up some really good tight end numbers.
Los Angeles is one of the worst defenses against tight ends in 2023 ranked 31st in aFPA. If Freiermuth plays, start him as a solid TE1 for Week 7 as we expect QB Kenny Pickett to get him involved.
Update: Freiermuth has been declared out for this week, so be sure to get him out of lineups. Connor Heyward may get a small bump in snaps, but it's too risky to trust any of the backup Pittsburgh tight ends.
