TE Harold Fannin Jr., CLE (1 Viewer)

[Insein]

Welp. Juwann getting an injury status this week has forced me to start Fannin.

So much short sighted reactionary nonsense on the last page. Rationale minds that have him on a roster are doing so because of plausible upside, as demonstrated by his usage rates. This is a 21 year old day 2 rookie on a bad offense. If you have expectations that exceed that then that's a you problem.

someone dropped him, I just grabbed him. Have Kelce so going to ride him out and see how QB change will affect the dynamic. Can't be worse.

 

[Guss]

Maybe Gabriel can utilize what he's been doing on the field and get the ball to him

 

[The Frankman]

This game is going to be very important, not only to see if Gabriel will pepper his RBs and TEs with targets, but to see if Fannin Jr. outsnapping Njoku last week was a one-off. That happens again, I'm effing doing cartwheels.

First career TD on a designed play to him was nice to see

First time watching him, already had 4 catches with 7:50 left in the 2nd Q as I type this

But they use him like an H-back it seems…

Yeah he doesn’t totally overlap with Njoku

Harold Fannin caught all four targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ Week 5 loss to the Vikings.

Fannin’s role held steady in this game. He saw a few snaps at nearly every position on offense and finished second on the team in receptions behind only David Njoku. Fannin also caught his first career touchdown on a well-designed play-action look at the goal line. Fannin has a solid floor of three to four catches per week, but the ceiling isn’t there yet. He will be a mid-range TE2 when the Browns return from their Week 6 bye.

I don't think his role held steady at all. He had a hot start but I don't think he ran as many routes, was in to block a ton and I'm pretty sure he didn't outsnap Njoku. Also, Njoku was running premium routes downfield and definitely looked like the apple of Gabriel's eye. Not sure if it's game script or Dillon Gabriel himself, but the routes Fannin Jr. ran were short routes and dumpoffs. I'll have to see his aDoT compared to previous weeks, but this felt like a step back.

He was clearly not a priority in the offense today.
