TE · PIT · #88
Recent form cooled from TE10 to TE24 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down.

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Proven TE in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Freiermuth caught 41 passes for 486 yards in 2025, finishing TE24. He scored 35% more than his touches said he should. TE10 slipped to TE24 last year; that's the warning. The 2026 projection is cautious — wait for a real role change before paying up. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
