Sell-high recommendation in redraft leagues based on recent performance volatility and usage concerns. Fannon posted six catches for 91 yards on nine targets in Cleveland's last game but his game log shows extreme inconsistency: 1.9, 1.4, 11, 24, and 13 points. The source views the recent spike as a sell-high window, noting Fannon has name-brand equity from preseason hype and is coming off a big game. KC Conpsion's manufactured looks and slot usage, Dylan Samson's increased receiver role, and competing touches make it hard for Fannon Jr. to maintain steady impact. The source emphasizes this is a redraft-specific take, not Dynasty, where Fannon's long-term talent and yakability would warrant holding. Redraft managers should capitalize on the current window to move him.

Fannin got his first screen target of the season in Week 7, resulting in two missed tackles and a first down, but finished as TE14 on TE9 usage after two duds leading into that outing. Winks notes he won't be left wide open for 36-yard gains like he was in this one very often. Fannin is fighting the breakouts of rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston and has been TE17 on TE18 usage this year as the most volatile player at his position. Deshaun Watson is missing just enough throws to rule out the upside case while making enough plays to keep TE1/2 border hope alive. A date with the Steelers adds to the mess; they've been solid against TEs and the Browns team total is only 18.0 points. Fannin had 27 and 30 yards in his last games against Pittsburgh.

Fannin got his first screen target of the season, resulting in two missed tackles and a first down. He was throwing Titans off himself for much of the game, finishing as the TE14 on TE9 usage after two duds leading into that outing. However, he won't be left wide open for 36-yard gains like he was in this one very often. Fannin is fighting the breakouts of rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, so he's only been the TE17 on TE18 usage this year as the most volatile player at his position. Deshaun Watson is missing just enough throws to rule out the upside case, while making enough plays to keep TE1/2 border hope alive.

Fannin is part of the Browns' offensive strategy to create more manageable second downs through short passing gains. By using Fannin on short gains alongside running back Quinshon Judkins, the Browns aim to force Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen to consistently drop back into coverage instead of supporting the rushing attack. This strategy is designed to avoid third-and-long situations, where Steelers defensive ends T.J. Watt and Keeanu Benton thrive.

Fannin has a prayer yards rate of 66 percent over the past four weeks, with two-thirds of his air yards going unconverted in a pass-first Cleveland offense. Pat Freiermuth is the only tight end with a higher season-long prayer yards rate. Positive regression appears to have begun in Week 7 against Tennessee when he caught six of nine targets for 91 yards. This regression could continue in Week 8 against Pittsburgh, which allows nearly 300 total team air yards per game.

Fannin caught 6 of 9 targets for 91 yards and lost a fumble (24.3% adjusted, up from 11.1% in Week 6), with a 58 of 70 snap share (83%, down 6 points from 89% in Week 6). His targets tripled on a slightly smaller snap share (0.16 targets per snap, up from 0.05 in Week 6), and his second-half work (5 targets, 56 yards, the 36-yard catch that set up the winning kick) represents elite playing time and routes run among fantasy tight ends. The source advises to 'Buy' Fannin due to his elite second-half role.

Tight end Harold Fannin Jr was a topic of discussion due to his lack of targets this season, but that changed on Sunday. Fannin has been asked to do more than expected, mainly due to the lack of depth in the tight end room, but when his name is called upon, he makes a play. He benefitted from the team moving him around and utilizing him in different ways. His big catch and run put the Browns into field goal range and was the reason why the Browns came out with a win.

Fannin had 6 catches for 91 yards on 9 targets plus 1 fumble lost. The source notes after having two catches in two games, Fannin seemed to matter in the offense again. It's remarkable how consistently he gets yards after the catch, including a big 36-yard catch-and-run at the end of the fourth quarter to help put Cleveland ahead. Fannin graded out as the Browns' third-highest graded player on offense by PFF with a grade of 84.5. The source notes the fumble appeared to be a juggling situation where he didn't quite have possession before the ball came loose.

Fannin generated 9 targets and 6 catches for 91 yards with a 15.2 average per catch, including a 12-yard gain in the first quarter, a 21-yard conversion on third-and-five late in the second quarter that set up a field goal before halftime, and most critically a 36-yard rumble-and-stumble on the final drive that moved the ball from Cleveland's 37 to Tennessee's 19-yard line, putting the Browns in field goal range for the game-winning kick. The source notes: 'Are we all in agreement that Fannin hasn't been used enough?'
