The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Pat Freiermuth.

Should You Start or Sit Freiermuth in Week 13?
That’s now four touchdowns in a six game stretch for Pat Freiermuth and while I don’t mind chasing touchdowns at the position, this isn’t the way I’d do it.
Patty Football is operating as part of a three-way TE committee in an offense that makes moving the ball look painful at times. He’s come through lately, but the man has 13 targets this season in enemy territory.
Are you really willing to back that sort of resume, with or without Aaron Rodgers under center?
I’ve thought that Freiermuth wasn’t the right way to chase TE TDs in Pittsburgh this season and that might be wrong, but he’s still not the way I’d do it at the position when looking league wide, understanding that there are a handful of options on your wire that either hold a more fruitful role (Freiermuth has one game with 5+ targets this season) in terms of volume or scoring equity.
