Fantasy Football Week 13: Flex Rankings, Waiver-Wire Targets and Projections

    Pittsburgh's offense notably perked up in the first game since the firing of former offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The Steelers may have only scored 16 points, but they authored their first 400-yard performance of the season.

    Pat Freiermuth was front and center of this turnaround.

    The third-year tight end turned his team-high 11 targets into nine receptions for 120 yards. These were, admittedly, outlier numbers for a player whose season-highs coming into the contest were four targets, three receptions and 41 yards, but given the state of the tight end position, it's still worth taking a flier on Freiermuth and seeing where this goes.

    He clearly has the trust of quarterback Kenny Pickett, and that could matter more than it has all season given the change in play-callers. If you've been struggling to find stability at this position, there's a non-zero chance Freiermuth could solve that problem.
