ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth is the TE10 for the year, averaging 7.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. While the Steelers' passing attack has been inconsistent this season, the veteran tight end has played well lately. He has five receiving touchdowns in 2024, totaling three over his past five games.

Furthermore, Freiermuth has been the TE6 over the past five weeks, averaging 4.4 receptions on 5.4 targets for 42.8 receiving yards and 9.7 fantasy points per game, totaling 7.5 or more in all but one contest, including last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fantasy players should add the veteran tight end off the waiver wire in Week 18. Many star tight ends will likely see limited snaps in meaningless games for their team. More importantly, Freiermuth faces a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has surrendered the most fantasy points per game to tight ends over the first 16 weeks (13.7).
