Steelers WR & TE: Undervalued Gems for Summer Drafts

About this episode

Fantasy Experts Highlight Steelers Undervalued Gems: D.K. Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and Pat Freiermuth

The 2026 fantasy football seasons consensus rankings have spotlighted some serious value picks on the Steelers roster. D.K. Metcalf is ranked at wide receiver twenty-nine, Michael Pittman Jr. at thirty-eight, and Pat Freiermuth at tight end thirty-two. These spots indicate undervalued gems for savvy managers preparing for summer drafts.

Last season, the Steelers offense focused on running backs and tight ends, leaving wide receivers in the dust. Metcalf was the only top receiver to perform, posting wide receiver twenty-three per game numbers. Calvin Austin the third barely cracked thirty-one catches, tying a backup tight end.

Experts predict Metcalf and Pittman will dominate targets now that theyre paired up, receiving more than Metcalf ever got with Austin. This combo should deliver two top-forty wideouts, with one locked in the top thirty. Managers are underestimating their potential in this WR-starved attack.

Freiermuth, still just twenty-seven, gets a boost with Jonnu Smith out the door, reducing snap competition from last year. He wont anchor your lineup, but top-twenty-four tight end status means solid bye-week filler or streamer upside.

In summary, these Steelers bargains are primed to outperform their ranks. Grab them early and watch the points stack up as the hype builds.

That combo should deliver two top 40 whiteouts, with one locked in the top 30. Managers are sleeping on the ceilings in this WR starved attack.

Friarmooth, still just 27, gets a boost with John who smith out the door, cutting down on snap competition from last year.
