Pat Freiermuth Expected To See ‘Heavy’ Targets In Steelers Offense

After a career day in the Pittsburgh Steelers newly run offense under interim OC Eddie Faulkner and playcaller Mike Sullivan, TE Pat Freiermuth is expected to be targeted at a high rate going forward. Appearing on NFL Network Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport said the passing game will aim to get Freiermuth highly involved each week.

“Pat Freiermuth was targeted more than he has been. Really had one of his most productive days. Expect him to try and replicate that. Attack the middle of the field.”

As Rapoport issued that report, the graphic below him read that Freiermuth is expected to receive “heavy” targets in the Steelers’ offense.
