Pat Freiermuth "Doubtful" To Play In Week 5

Pat Freiermuth "Doubtful" To Play In Week 5

one year ago

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) is "very doubtful" to play in Week 5 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens this Sunday after he hurt his hamstring in the Week 4 loss to the Houston Texans. We'll have a better idea of whether Freiermuth will be able to play this weekend based on his practice status this week, but fantasy managers that have been starting him through the first four weeks of the season should already be looking for a backup plan if they don't have one already. Rookie Darnell Washington could serve as Pittsburgh's top pass-catching tight end if Freiermuth is inactive, while Connor Heyward could also be in the mix for a larger role in Week 5.
