Biggest Steelers sleeper with vacated targets, but faces 54-target ceiling

Pat FreiermuthTEPIT

Pat Freiermuth is the biggest sleeper on the Steelers; with Kenny Gainwell and Johnny Smith departing and vacating targets, Freiermuth could emerge as a touchdown machine. The source would pick him as a tight end most likely to have 10 touchdowns out of nowhere this year. However, Freiermuth had only 54 targets last year in the Steelers offense, down significantly from prior seasons of 98 and multiple seasons in the 70s, reflecting overall target scarcity in an Aaron Rodgers offense projected to average only 14-15 fantasy points per game.
