It isn’t very often that a trade to acquire the TE4 from the previous season nukes the value of 2 players at the same position. This is just the case with Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Since being traded from the Dolphins to reunite with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith have seen their collective ADP drop significantly. In the last week on Underdog, Freiermuth has fallen 34.3 spots from the early 14th round to the early 17th round. Smith has dropped 27.4 spots from the latter part of the 10th round into the latter part of the 12th round. 

Aaron Rodgers traditionally hasn’t had elite tight ends at his disposal. Going back to Jermichael Finley, the most productive players in a Rodgers led offense favor the wide receivers. With 2 excellent talents in Smith and Freiermuth, it doesn’t look promising that both can have scorching individual numbers. Collectively, they may thrive, but fantasy gamers are wise to let their price plummet and find tight end options elsewhere. DK Metcalf in round 4 is a price worth paying in comparison to the ambiguous tight end room that the Steelers currently have.
