Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (chest) practiced all week and isn't listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Browns. He should be leaned on more heavily with WR Diontae Johnson out.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says to expect "heavy targets" for Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth again today. He's coming off a big 9-120-0 line on a team-leading 11 targets last week.

But he does sit inside the top 10 of our Week 13 TE Rankings.

Freiermuth will be back on the streaming radar next week in a nice scoring matchup at Arizona.
