Zach Gentry Fantasy

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, tight end Zach Gentry will remain with the Steelers. Gentry, a 2019 fifth-round pick, has appeared in 38 games for Pittsburgh in the last four seasons, compiling 39 catches for 303 yards. While the Steelers will get a familiar face back in the mix, his minimal statistical contributions over the years won't mean much from a fantasy standpoint. Gentry's return also won't negatively impact Pat Freiermuth, who should continue to operate as the undisputed No. 1 tight end on the depth chart.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Zach Gentry caught his lone target for a four-yard gain in a 20-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. Gentry was on the map as a tight-end streamer for Week 6 after Pat Freiermuth (concussion) was ruled out ahead of time, but he wound up disappointing with just the one catch. Freiermuth is likely to be back in time for a Week 7 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, which will relegate Gentry back to a reserve role.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Zach Gentry will be pushed into a full-time role in Week 6 as starter Pat Freiermuth (concussion) was ruled out on Friday. Gentry had success in Week 5 after Freiermuth left with the injury, catching five passes for 43 yards. He sets up as an interesting fantasy option in a plus matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. Tampa Bay has struggled against opposing tight ends in 2022, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. Gentry is worth using as a streamer in season-long leagues and as a cheap plug-in play in DFS contests.
