Pat Freiermuth Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Steelers TE Eric Ebron was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring. Ebron hasn't been a fantasy factor this season, but his absence is Sunday's game vs. the Browns would be a slight boost to TE Pat Freiermuth.

Steelers TE Eric Ebron (hamstring) isn’t listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He was sidelined on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday. Ebron is splitting pass-catching duties with TE Pat Freiermuth and isn’t a recommended fantasy play vs. the Raiders this weekend.

Steelers TE Eric Ebron missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring. It's a new injury and has Ebron looking iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. His absence would likely mean a big boost in playing time for rookie TE Pat Freiermuth.

NFL insider Albert Breer believes Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth is "trending towards a real role" after attending training camp. "Freiermuth was a monster Saturday," Breer tweeted. "Catches everything." Rookie TEs are generally poor bets in fantasy football. And Freiermuth faces stiff target competition in TE Eric Ebron and WRs Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and JuJu Smith-Schuster. But, if nothing else, his presence is a reason to only view Ebron as a lower-end TE2. We'll see if Freiermuth can work his way on to the fantasy radar.
