Week 18 Tight End Outlooks for Fantasy Football

Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth was incredibly productive over the last two weeks of the regular season and will carry some positive momentum into a Wild-Card Round bout with the Baltimore Ravens. Freiermuth had his best showing of the year in Week 18, hauling in eight of 11 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown. It is worth noting that Freiermuth was hardly utilized in either of his two meetings with the Ravens in 2024 and was held to three or fewer receptions in both contests. On paper, however, this is a favorable matchup for the 26-year-old as Baltimore struggled against the pass and opposing tight ends throughout the campaign. There are more reliable options for fantasy purposes this weekend, but Freiermuth is a solid value and offers upside in PPR formats.

Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills - Fantasy Football Outlook

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid's (knee) stock took a tumble in his second professional season. The former first-round pick was a breakout candidate in August and September. Instead, he averaged 1.2 fewer catches and 7.6 yards than his rookie campaign, only finding the endzone twice. He's tallied more than four catches in just two games. The matchup against Denver and his recurring appearance on the injury report with a knee issue are non-concerns. However, given his play this season, relying on Kincaid in lineups this weekend isn't a fruitful strategy.
