Pat Freiermuth gets a boost with Michael Pittman placed on injured reserve.

Freiermuth has the second-most red-zone targets on the Steelers behind Jalen Warren and is always a threat inside the red zone. Aaron Rodgers typically loves targeting his top tight end so that's an added bonus.

I think the market is still underpricing the fact that Freiermuth is the main ball carrier when the Steelers use the tush push. I'm expecting him to score that way at least once this season.



Giants vs Commanders TD Pick: Isaiah Likely

Isaiah Likely hasn't scored since Week 1 — I don't care.

There could be inclement weather in this game with rain — I don't care.

I just don't see why a guy who has six red-zone targets and a 29% target share this season is priced this high.

Vikings vs Saints TD Pick: Justin Jefferson

It's not certain that Justin Jefferson plays in this game — he logged limited practices all week — but if he does, I'm betting on him to score a touchdown.

When Jefferson plays, he tends to get at least a 30% target share from whoever is playing quarterback for the Vikings.

The Saints have allowed five touchdowns to receivers this season and rank bottom 10 in defensive DVOA against WR1s and the deep pass.

Another fun angle here is that this is a homecoming game for Jefferson so there could be extra motivation.
