Early on in the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, their tight end Pat Freiermuth held a large role on the offense. As Pittsburgh failed to land a talented receiver to pair with George Pickens, Freiermuth entered the season looking like the true second pass-catching option on the roster. Through the first four games of the season, that seemed to be holding true. Freiermuth had 20 targets through that span, and caught 17 of them.
Ever since then, there’s been a bit of growth on the Steelers offense. Players like WR Calvin Austin III and TE Darnell Washington have each seen their roles increase as the year’s gone on.
