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.

The source identifies Fannin as one of the two favorite picks in Tier 2, highlighting exceptional value. Fannin has a $15 Fantasy Life suggested value but is priced at only $3.9 on Yahoo and $8 in NFFC auctions. The source notes Fannin was one of the most efficient tight ends in football as a rookie and should see an uptick in volume in his second year. While he may face subpar quarterback play, he won't have to compete with David Njoku for snaps. The source would be happy to have Fannin at current prices and would consider adding him if he goes for less than $10.
Tight end going in round six, part of a crowded tier of second-wave TEs (rounds 4-7 on Yahoo ADP) alongside Roma Dunay, Christian Watson, Carnell Tate, and Cal Pitts; the source's translation is that Brock Bowers in round two becomes an even more attractive premium pick by comparison, suggesting Fannon's round-six cost makes waiting on later-round TE options less appealing than paying up for elite production early.
NegativeBustJul 30, 2026Fantasy Football Today
Jamie identifies Fannin as a bust; while he was awesome last year and led the team in targets with one of the best tight end coaches in NFL history, he loses that coach and gets a quarterback (Watson) that doesn't throw to tight ends as much. The Cardinals add two rookie wide receivers (first-round Casey Concepcion, second-round Denzel Boston), improving the receiving core significantly. Jamie expects Fannin to take a step backwards and doesn't want to draft him where he'll likely go (closer to tight end six than tight end eight). He doesn't think Fannin will be outside the top 12 barring disaster, but the ADP is too high.

Fannin has a Yahoo ADP in the low 70s and finished as the TE6 last year with fellow tight end David Njoku not retained. However, Cleveland significantly improved its receiver group this year (widening the passing tree) and the quarterback collection is still suspect. The source is worried the uber-talented Fannin will have a difficult time overcoming his context this fall; the talent leaps off the screen, but he's not a cheap pick like he was last year.
