Fitz’s Top Draft Targets
After catching 60 passes for 497 yards as a rookie, Freiermuth had 63 receptions for 732 yards last year. His average depth of target went from 5.3 yards in 2021 to 8.3 yards in 2022, and his yards per target jumped from 6.3 to 7.5. The only category in which “Muth” fell off last year was touchdowns. He scored seven times as a rookie but only reached the end zone twice in 2022, so we should probably expect a bounce. I generally prefer to draft an elite tight end or go dumpster-diving at the position, but Freiermuth is one of the few middle-class TEs who’s appealing at his price point.
The Dolphins gave Gesicki the franchise tag last year after his 73-catch, 780-yard campaign in 2021, then inexplicably marginalized him, cutting his snap count almost in half. Gesicki is one of the more athletic tight ends in the league, and he’s being reunited with his old head coach at Penn State, Bill O’Brien, who’s now the Patriots’ offensive coordinator.
