Should I start Joe Fagnano or Pat Freiermuth in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 4:21 PM ET.

Start Joe Fagnano: 90 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Pat Freiermuth's 60 percent of the snaps and 10 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size308 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Pat Freiermuth, and the board ranks him 43rd overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

No season market is posted for Joe Fagnano, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

Pat Freiermuth's market-based projection is 6.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 39th highest figure of the 210 players with a market-based projection.

This season so far

Through Week 9, Joe Fagnano has been on the field for 90 percent of BAL snaps, dropped back 45 times and thrown 3.3 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 13 of 45 dropbacks and scrambled 2 times.

In Week 8 against BUF he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 4 yards.

In Week 8 against CLE he carried 1 time for 1 yards, caught 2 of 2 targets for 35 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

In 2025 Pat Freiermuth played 17 games and scored 113.6 PPR points, 6.7 a game, finishing TE25.

He caught 41 of 54 targets for 486 yards and 4 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

That came to 3.2 targets a game, a 76 percent catch rate and 11.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 49 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Joe Fagnano is a quarterback and Pat Freiermuth a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Joe Fagnano is off in Week 13 and Pat Freiermuth in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Joe Fagnano has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
