From the episode

I've got Friermuth second. We saw a little bit of an uptick for him, at least in the red zone with Pittman and Roman Wilson out. Already has more games this year with a 75% route rate than he had all of 2025.

STACKED’s take

Friermuth's 75% route rate and red zone uptick with injuries.

Friermuth is the second-ranked tight end to pick up; he's shown an uptick in red zone opportunities with Pittman and Roman Wilson out, and has already logged more games this year with a 75% route rate than he had in all of 2025; favorable schedule ahead (Tampa, New Orleans, Cleveland).
