After a strong rookie season and decent year 2, Freiermuth fizzled last year. A hamstring injury in Week 4 cost him five games, and outside of two early touchdowns and a 9-120 aberration in Week 12, he wasn't even worth rostering for most of the season. A revamped quarterback room, and 100+ lost targets to replace should certainly work in his favor as he opens the year as Pittsburgh's de facto #2 receiver. Still only 25, Freiermuth has the chance to continue to grow as a receiver, and has past production in his favor. Arthur Smith features tight ends, as evidenced by Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith both finishing in the top 17 last season. The personnel in this offense is frighteningly similar to what Atlanta had recently, so don't be surprised if Freiermuth becomes a sneaky low end TE1 option again.

 George Pickens not looking good for Week 15
Missed Week 14 with hamstring issue
By: Doug Orth | Tue Dec 10, 11:30 pm
|  | George Pickens (hamstring) is considered doubtful but has an outside chance to play Sunday against the Eagles, head coach Mike Tomlin said. (Around the NFL)
FFToday's Take: The Steelers were able to survive against the Browns without Pickens in Week 14, but the thought of Mike Williams, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin trying to separate from Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean and Darius Slay is not an appealing one. Pat Freiermuth and the running backs figure to carry the day for Pittsburgh, at least as long as the Steelers' defense can hold the Eagles' offense in check. Expect Philadelphia's DST to have a good day.
