Freiermuth continues to serve as a key target for rookie Kenny Pickett, as he now has at least three catches in each of his last six games. In that same span, he's topped 75 yards on three occasions.

Just four targets in Indy Freiermuth caught three of four targets for 39 yards in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

Impact His only catch of the second half was a big one, as Freiermuth gained 17 yards down to the three-yard line on 3rd-and-six. Three plays later, Benny Snell punched in what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown on the ground. Freiermuth has at least 36 receiving yards in each of his past five games, but the second-year tight end will be looking for his first touchdown since Week 2 when the Steelers travel to Atlanta in Week 13.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • Associated Press

Paces team in catches, targets Freiermuth caught eight of 12 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 37-30 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Freiermuth led the Steelers in targets for a second consecutive week while setting a new season high in that category and also tying his season-high total in catches. His only touchdown came back in Week 2, but the second-year tight end has racked up at least 75 receiving yards in four of nine appearances this season. Freiermuth should remain a key target for rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett in Week 12 against the Colts.

Leads Steelers in targets Freiermuth secured four of seven targets for 36 yards during the Steelers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Freiermuth has drawn at least seven targets in each of his three appearances since returning to action, but he managed only four receptions Sunday and was held under 40 yards for the third time this season. The 2021 second-rounder has nearly matched his yardage total from a year ago, as he's secured 36 of 55 targets for 403 yards and a touchdown over his first eight appearances in 2022.

Tallies 57 receiving yards Freiermuth recorded four receptions on seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Freiermuth finished behind only Diontae Johnson in targets and has at least seven targets in five of his seven games this season. He wasn't particularly efficient in Sunday's loss, though he still managed lengthy receptions of 21 and 18 yards. Volume alone makes Freiermuth valuable given that he plays tight end, though the poor state of the Steelers' offense continues to limit his ability to find the end zone and perform consistently.

Back to full practice Freiermuth (ankle) returned to a full practice Thursday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After being listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, the Steelers' starting tight end logged a full session Thursday, setting the stage for Freiermuth to play this weekend against the Eagles. In his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion this past Sunday against Miami, the 2021 second-rounder recorded 44 of a possible 75 snaps on offense en route to catching eight of his nine targets for a team-high 75 yards. Against Philadelphia, Freiermuth should continue to see enough volume to merit Week 8 fantasy lineup consideration.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by ankle Wednesday Freiermuth was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Freiermuth, who missed his team's Week 6 win over the Buccaneers due to a concussion, returned to action in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, logging 44 of a possible 75 snaps on offense en route to catching eight of his nine targets for 75 yards. Now that he's on the injury report with an ankle issue, the tight end's status is worth monitoring in the coming days, but so far there's nothing to suggest that Freiermuth's availability for Sunday's game against the Eagles is in danger.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in return Freiermuth secured eight of nine targets for 75 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to Miami on Sunday.

Impact Freiermuth missed last week's win over the Buccaneers due to a concussion, but he returned to action in Week 7 and led the Steelers in receiving yards during their narrow loss. The 23-year-old's efficiency has been somewhat inconsistent early in the year, but he's been targeted at least seven times in four of his first six appearances of the season.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Freiermuth cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Freiermuth is on track to return from a one-game absence and suit up versus the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football. Quarterback Kenny Pickett also cleared the concussion protocol Friday, so Pittsburgh's offense will be at full strength to take on Miami. Freiermuth, a 2021 second-round pick, has drawn at least seven targets in three of the four contests he finished this season.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Another full practice Freiermuth (concussion) practiced fully again Thursday.

Impact Freiermuth missed the the Steelers' Week 6 win over the Buccaneers while in the NFL's concussion protocol, but back-to-back full practices have the tight end on track to return to action Sunday against the Dolphins. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Freiermuth has been fully cleared to play in the contest or heads into the weekend carrying an injury designation.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Freiermuth (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Impact The tight end likely will return for Sunday night's game against the Dolphins, but it won't be certain until the Steelers announce his removal from concussion protocol. Rookie QB Kenny Pickett (concussion) was also a full participant Wednesday, following an early exit from Sunday's win over the Bucs. Freiermuth missed the upset victory, leaving Zach Gentry and Connor Heyward to split TE snaps for Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to increase practice activity Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Freiermuth remains in the concussion protocol but is on track to increase his workload in practice this week, Chris Halicke of DKP...

Impact After sustaining the third concussion of his two-year professional career in the Steelers' Week 5 loss to the Bills, Freiermuth wasn't able to gain clearance to suit up in this past Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers. While Freiermuth isn't out of the woods yet, the tight end looks to be trending in the right direction for this weekend's game in Miami. Freiermuth managed only limited activity in practices last week, but Tomlin's comments offer hope that the 23-year-old may return to the practice field Wednesday as a full participant.
