Fantasy Points' Ryan Heath identifies Harold Fannon as the archetype example for pass-catcher tight ends on bad offenses in trailing game scripts. This archetype—flex-type tight ends that are pass-catchers only on bad teams—sees increased snap share when offenses are in constant passing situations and lack good receivers, forcing more opportunities to the tight end. Fannon is also one of the big four early-round tight ends (alongside Cal Pitts, Tucker Kraft, and Sam LaPorta) requiring meaningful draft capital in most leagues; missing these four early forces waiting 20-40+ picks.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Harold Fanning led all tight ends in tackles avoided last season and has Tom Monk as his new offensive coordinator (who developed Ravens tight ends in Baltimore), but his 6.0 average target depth is well below the 6.5-yard threshold that Zachariason's 10-year study shows is necessary for tier-one tight end upside. Despite elite tackle-avoidance metrics and a favorable coaching situation, Fanning ranks in the tight end 9-16 tier, not tier one, and should not be assumed to suddenly be used more downfield without evidence of a usage shift.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
JJ Zachariason ranks Harold Fannon as TE8 and highlights that Dave Njoku and Harold Fannon have combined for four top-8 seasons since 2022 under Kevin Stefanski and Tommy Reese in Cleveland, demonstrating the system's ability to produce elite tight end production. Fannon is one of just six rookie tight ends in the past decade to post top-12 PPR points-per-game numbers, achieving this in 2024 alongside Tyler Warren and Brock Bowers.NegativeInjuryJul 24, 2026
