BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: How is Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth the TE5 in PPR right now? Well, it's because the TE5 should be the TE10, but we live in a time of abject poverty at the tight-end position. The position has taken a U-turn this season and brought things back to what it was like over a decade ago.
Seriously, if you don't believe that, check the tight-end scoring leaders here and sort by average, then go through each year. It's bad. If you have a tight end who does anything at all, he's a must-start. The Muth has been targeted 20 times this season, which is incredible for his position.
Pat Freiermuth is averaging 39 receiving yards per game. He has scored 1 TD this season.
He’s currently the TE5.

39 yards and 0.25 touchdowns per game is a must-start in fantasy football. Make it make sense. Well, it probably won't make sense for some time. Teams seem to have largely and inexplicably abandoned the tight-end position in their passing game plans. So put him in your starting lineups. He'll hopefully continue to do things.
