Rookie TE catching up to Tyler Warren with elite per-route metrics despite weak offense.

Rookie TE with elite Week 14 performance (11 targets, 8 catches, 114 yards, TD) and per-route metrics (23.2% targets per route) that are catching up to Tyler Warren despite playing in a 32nd-ranked passing offense (Browns) versus Warren's top-10 Colts offense. Fannin's yards per route (within 0.6 of Warren), first downs per route (within ~1%), and PFF grade (better than Warren) suggest he is pacing with the hyped rookie TE despite being undersized, a third-round pick, and underperforming at the combine. Over three games with Shedeur Sanders at QB, Fannin has been TE2 in target share, TE7 in targets per route run, TE4 in yards per route run, and TE4 in fantasy points per game on an 854, 1100, and 11 touchdown pace; Sanders' downfield passing style fuels his production. Ron Stewart drafted him heavily in dynasty and high-stakes leagues over the summer and credits him as a key contributor to winning two $2,000 buy-in championship games in Week 14, posting 29.4 Titans Premium points in one final and carrying the team to a 2-0 record in main event championships. The source frames this as "very impressive" and calls Fannin "an absolute monster." Recommended as a waiver wire add in standard leagues.
