In Week 6, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught two of three targets for 11 yards during an overtime victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This marked Freiermuth's lowest target count of the season, as fellow tight end Darnell Washington received more opportunities with six targets, four catches, and a touchdown. Freiermuth’s limited production may have been influenced by a calf issue noted before the game. Despite the performance, he has four touchdowns this season and is expected to remain a low-end TE1 option for upcoming games, including a matchup against the New Orleans Saints, assuming he is injury-free.
