Pat Freiermuth Dynasty Value

Three years at Penn State produced 92 receptions for 1,185 yards and 16 touchdowns across 29 games. Freiermuth was a featured target from day one, hauling in 26 catches for 368 yards and 8 scores as a true freshman in 2018 before bumping up to 43 catches and 507 yards with 7 touchdowns in 2019. His shortened 2020 season still showed growth: 23 receptions, 310 yards, and a touchdown in just 4 games, a per-game pace of 5.8 catches and 77.5 yards that was the best of his career. The 16 touchdowns in 29 games is a scoring rate that jumps off the page. At 251 pounds he plays with physicality that earned him the Gronk comparisons around Happy Valley. No combine forty is on file, which tells you the speed was never going to be the selling point. Wins through contested catches, body positioning, and an understanding of zone leverage. Blocks with effort and technique. The 12.9 career yards per reception confirms he lives in the intermediate zones rather than threatening vertically. R2.55 for a complete tight end whose red zone dominance and Big Ten pedigree give him a high floor with legitimate TE1 upside if targets follow.
