    Harold Fannin

    CLE Tight End #44

    Harold Fannin caught 7-of-9 targets for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Browns’ Week 3 win over the Panthers.

    With the Panthers working overtime to keep Deshaun Watson underneath and the washed quarterback happily obliging, Fannin doubled his season receptions total while scoring his first two touchdowns. Score No. 1 was a fourth down crosser where Fannin got free at the back end of the end zone. No. 2 was a scramble drill where the quarterback bought time and again found Fannin in the painted area. Although the yardage total remained modest, it was nice to see Fannin prove pop-up efforts will still be possible for him in this underpowered offense. With Watson seemingly growing more short-area focused by the day, Fannin’s target counts might start ticking back upward. He’s a credible TE1 for Week 4 against the Steelers.

    That was a career high in both catches and yards for the tight end. Fannin was really the only receiver to get anything going on a day when the Browns still threw for 326 yards. Fannin had a really nice catch-and-run in the fourth quarter where he broke two tackles but was unfortunately forced out at the one-yard line, so it could have been a much bigger day. He played 57 of the team’s 67 snaps and ran a route on 41 of their 49 dropbacks. It was an elite role, but the Browns were also trailing for the entire game, which certainly impacted the game plan and game script. With the Saints on tap for next week, we could see something similar, though.

    It was the first fantasy-relevant stat line for Fannin in quite some time. Headed into Week 7, he had not exceeded 60 receiving yards and had just two games with more than three catches. Against the Titans, Fannin ran a pass route on nearly every Cleveland drop back and had the most crucial play of the game — a fourth quarter 36-yard catch and run that put the Browns in field goal range to secure the win. Fannin, who has been targeted on a fairly low 17 percent of his routes this season, should be playable next week against the Steelers.

    CLE Tight End #44
    After being held to one catch for four yards in last week’s loss to the Jets in rainy conditions, Fannin was again held to one catch while seeing only three targets. The second-year tight end has been an early disappointment for fantasy managers this season and has a 2-13-0 line on seven targets over the last two weeks. Playing in a lousy offense that saw its quarterback sacked five times certainly doesn’t do anything to help his weekly upside, but nobody ever expected it to look quite this bad. Fannin does have a few good games on his resumé this season, and with four teams on bye in Week 7, he could be in the conversation as a low-end TE1 next week against the Titans.

    Fannin’s worst game of the season came in rainy New Jersey conditions. That obviously held down the Browns’ passing-game production, but it’s confusing they weren’t drawing up more manufactured, chain-moving looks for their YAC-focused tight end. Fannin established a 2026 ceiling the past two weeks, but today’s effort reminds of just how low his floor can be with Deshaun Watson under center and more target competition in the skill corps.

    The score was his third trip to paint in the previous two games after Fannin notched his first two touchdowns of the young season in a Week 3 win over the Panthers. Fannin appears to be behind both Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion in the target pecking order in Cleveland, but remains well ahead of veteran Jerry Jeudy as the third target in the offense. Continued fantasy production likely hinges on the play of quarterback Deshaun Watson, but Fannin appears set to return meaningful fantasy value for managers that invested a middle-round pick on his services this summer. Fannin remains a back-end TE1 ahead of a Week 5 meeting with the Jets on the road.

    This comes from Palmer’s pre-Thursday Night Football notes. After sharing the info, he tells readers to “read into that how you want.” Fannin currently leads the team in targets (18), though rookie WRs KC Concepcion (17) and Denzel Boston (15) are right behind him. If Palmer’s report is accurate, Fannin could slip to third in target share as the season progresses, but he remains a very talented player and target earner, deserving of a weekly TE1 ranking. Just file this away for now.

    Fannin showed signs of life as Deshaun Watson played much better than he did in the season opener against the Jaguars. Running a pass route on 28 of the Browns’ 36 drop backs, Fannin was tied for second in targets among Cleveland pass catchers. Watson’s check-down tendencies — he had a 3.6 aDOT against Tampa — could keep Fannin alive for PPR purposes in Week 3 against the Panthers. He likely won’t be a top-12 option though.

    Fannin only saw three targets on the day, catching his first pass towards the end of the third quarter. It was a bafflingly low level of usage for the 22-year-old tight end, who was heavily involved last year. Some of it may have to do with Deshaun Watson helming the offense; the Browns struggled to move the ball for much of the day. Fannin is still the primary receiving tight end, but he will have to fight KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston for what little high-leverage targets this offense can muster. We cannot discount his TE1-level rookie season just yet, Fannin is a low-end TE1 for Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

    Fannin told reporters that he underwent offseason surgery that was related to the groin injury he suffered at the end of his rookie season. It took him “six to 10 weeks” to get fully cleared, causing him to miss the offseason program. As a full participant to start camp, Fannin should not be bothered by the groin issue in his second season. Coming off a 100-target rookie season, he sits in the middle of the TE1 ranks in early drafts.
  • CLE Wide Receiver
    Per Jackson, organized team activities and mandatory minicamp “offered clues” about Monken’s use of motion and how he plans to “hunt mismatches in the quick passing game and use misdirection to create space and passing lanes for the quarterback.” That said, Jackson also believes that either TE Harold Fannin or fellow rookie WR Denzel Boston will be the “leading receiver.” It remains to be seen whether Monken will actually dial up a high target volume for an X-receiver like Boston. He featured WR Zay Flowers, who Concepcion has been likened to, as the top target-earning wide receiver with the Ravens. If Concepcion only gets a few designed looks per game, it will be tough for him to produce reliably in fantasy. If he can be more than that, even while earning targets behind Fannin while Boston stretches the field, Concepcion can return FLEX value in his first season.

    Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said Kendrick Bourne could be at risk of missing the remainder of the season after suffering an ankle injury in Week 8’s win over the Cowboys.

    It’s a tough break for Bourne, who was getting more involved with the offense following the trade of Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans. If his season is over, he finishes it with a 26-263-0 receiving line on 38 targets. He also topped 70 yards twice in the seven games he appeared in. Bourne signed a two-year, $10 million contract earlier this offseason but can be released by the Cardinals in exchange for a $2.2 million dead cap hit. It wouldn’t be surprising if the 10-year vet was playing elsewhere next season.

    Jacoby Brissett will serve as the Cardinals’ emergency QB3 in Week 9 against the Seahawks.

    After holding out part of the offseason for a new deal that was fitting for a starting QB in the league, Brissett now finds himself as the QB3 of the Cardinals entering Week 9. There’s a good chance this is the end of the road for Brissett as far as his time with the Cardinals is concerned, as a handful of dire QB situations around the league could warrant a trade to a contender who is looking to upgrade at QB before the trade deadline. Brissett was solid last season for a three-win Cardinals team, throwing for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 12 starts. He currently sports a 1,719-10-7 line this season but has struggled in his last three starts, throwing just one touchdown to two interceptions. With Brissett being demoted to QB3, rookie Carson Beck will be elevated to QB2 on game days, and draws ever closer to making his first career start at some point in the season.

    Gardner Minshew will start in Week 9 against the Seahawks.

    After leading a second-half comeback against the Cowboys in which he threw for 188 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-23 passing, the move to Minshew felt inevitable. Now, the eighth-year journeyman will have a chance to make his first start for the Cardinals in what’s sure to be a tough road matchup against the Seahawks. Minshew has long proved his value as a serviceable backup in the league and should provide enough to keep the fantasy stocks of Trey McBride and Michael Wilson up, but he could be in for a tough outing against a top-flight Seahawks defense. He shouldn’t be treated as anything more than a desperation streamer in 2QB/superflex leagues, while Wilson’s expectations should fall somewhere in the WR3 range.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Seahawks plan to activate Jadarian Price from injured reserve and that he will play in Week 8 against the Bears.

    Price and Zach Charbonnet will both make their returns from injured reserve tonight, putting the Seahawks’ backfield at full strength heading into a pivotal NFC matchup. It’s hard to know how the touches will be spread out in this one, which makes both backs hard to trust on Monday night against the Bears. Price averaged 11.5 carries per game in his two full games played this season, but Charbonnet should eat into that somewhat. Fantasy managers looking to play either Seattle running back in this one should temper expectations until we have more data to go on in the coming weeks.

    Ravens signed QB Austin Reed to the practice squad.

    Reed spent time with the Ravens during training camp, and threw for 59 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in three brief appearances during the preseason. Reed will presumably be elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Week 9’s game against the Jaguars, and could serve as Joe Fagnano’s backup for the foreseeable future.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Jeremy McNichols is undergoing additional testing to determine the severity of the foot injury he suffered in Week 8’s win over the Eagles.

    McNichols’ injury is believed to be “significant,” according to Schefter. The 30-year-old journeyman was recently activated from injured reserve after missing the first five weeks of the season with a quad injury and could now be looking at another extended absence. He has rushed 10 times for 34 scoreless yards this season and has been a reliable role player and special teams contributor for the Commanders since joining the team in 2024.

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said the team has received “positive” news on Jack Campbell after he suffered a neck injury in Week 8’s win over the Vikings.

    The team has opted to not disclose any further details of Campbell’s injury, but this is obviously good news for the fourth-year linebacker. Campbell suffered a scary neck injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win and was eventually carted from the field after being down on the ground for several minutes. While the early reports are encouraging, it’s possible Campbell avoided the worst-case scenario but could still face a months-long journey back to the field. We will be sure to provide any updates as they come our way.

    Cam Skattebo (hamstring) was seen working with trainers on Monday.

    The Giants won’t release their first injury report for the week until Wednesday, but in the team’s first practice after its bye week, Skattebo was seen working off to the side with trainers. Skattebo injured his hamstring late on a 42-yard run in overtime in Week 7’s win over the Texans, but said he expected to be okay after the bye. While that may still be the case, fantasy managers will want to check his practice status throughout the week to see if he’s at risk of missing Week 9’s game against the Eagles.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Lamar Jackson is “likely out for the season” after suffering a thumb injury in Week 8’s loss to the Bills.

    Head coach Jesse Minter didn’t dismiss the possibility of this being a season-ending injury for Jackson when asked about it after the game, but the optics on the field weren’t good, and the team wasted little time announcing he would undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to learn in the days ahead that Jackson’s season is over, but the team will likely wait until after he has his surgery to make any formal announcement. With Jackson and Tyler Huntley (toe) both being sidelined, rookie UDFA Joe Fagnano is slated to start on the short week on Thursday against the Jaguars.
