Steelers' Pat Freiermuth (concussion) out for Week 6
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) has been ruled out of Week 6's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What It Means:
Freiermuth was able to return to limited practices this week but could not clear the NFL's concussion protocols in time for Sunday's clash with the Buccaneers. His next chance to play will come against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. With Freiermuth ruled out, George Pickens, Chase Claypool, and Diontae Johnson could see more targets in Week 6.
The Steelers are 8.5-point underdogs against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Their implied team total of 18.0 points is the second-lowest team total on Sunday's main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
