Pat Freiermuth Cleared to Play for Steelers in Week 6 After Calf Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has been removed from the injury report for Week 6, clearing him to play against the Las Vegas Raiders. Freiermuth had been listed with a calf injury, which was a late addition to the report on Thursday, but he has now been given the green light to participate in Sunday’s game.

Freiermuth has been a significant contributor to the Steelers’ offense, ranking as the TE10 in fantasy points per game. He has a 16.1% target share and an 18.6% first-read share, making him a key target for the team, especially in the red zone where he ranks second on the team with four targets.

Despite the Raiders having faced the ninth-fewest targets to tight ends this season, they have allowed the tenth-highest yards per reception to the position. This could present an opportunity for Freiermuth to make an impact in the game.

Freiermuth’s availability is a boost for the Steelers, who are looking to capitalize on their offensive strengths against the Raiders. His performance will be closely watched by fantasy football managers, given his consistent production and importance in the Steelers’ offense.
