Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth officially Out for Week 6

Oct 14, 2022

Pat Freiermuth joins a host of other very important pieces for the Pittsburgh Steelers, most of whom are on the defensive side of the ball.

Related Players: Zach Gentry

Fantasy Impact:

Zach Gentry took advantage of his heightened opportunity in Week 5, with five of his six targets in the game coming after the departure of his fellow tight end. Pittsburgh has the seventh-highest pass rate on the season, and things didn’t switch up for Kenny Pickett’s first start, as he dropped back 56 times in the 38-3 blowout loss to the Bills. Gentry is available in 99% of Yahoo leagues for those desperate, assuming this game could follow a similar game script.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
