Latest takes
“Fantasy Football Research & Advice Fantasy Football Expert Rankings 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Kit Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer Fantasy Football TE2s With Top-5 Potential Harold Fannin Jr. (TE – CLE) Despite Cleveland drafting two rookie wide receivers in the first two rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, I still believe Harold Fannin Jr. will be a focal point of Todd Monken’s offense. If you look at Monken’s recent history as an offensive coordinator, one thing stands out: He knows how to feature his tight ends.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25“Harold Fannin is coming off the board around the sixth-round/seventh-round turn.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Harold Fannin (TE – CLE) Going as the TE5, 64th overall, the projections have ticked up recently for Fannin. One analyst is even more aggressive than the official numbers, banking on him being this offense’s clear top target earner overall regardless of the team’s unresolved quarterback competition, a read supported by multiple beat reporters independently saying the same thing. Touchdown upside remains conservative for both analysts given real doubts about how many points this offense scores overall, but the appeal is target-share driven, with a real path to 120 or more targets and close to 80 catches even in a touchdown-starved offense.”

“Fannin exploded onto the scene as a rookie, finishing as the TE5 on a team that was pretty miserable in Cleveland. The hope for Fannin is that he will continue to be at least the second target for the Browns, though he may be limited due to questionable QB play.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 7“(TE – CLE) What’s the limit for Harold Fannin Jr”
Ryan Kirksey· Aug 6“However, Boston faces an uphill battle for immediate fantasy relevance while competing with first-round pick KC Concepcion and tight end Harold Fannin Jr.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“(CLE) — TE6, Overall RK80, Bye: 11 A third-round pick in last year’s NFL Draft, Harold Fannin was surprisingly impactful as a rookie, racking up 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns to finish TE6 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 30“Undervalued: Harold Fannin Jr, Tight End (TE6, Pick 79 OVR) This isn’t to say that Fannin doesn’t belong at TE6, as that’s also where I have him. That is to say that he is a fantastic pick at TE6, and he’s going literally the pick before Kyle Pitts.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 25“Harold Fannin in 4 full games that David Njoku missed all of most of last season: • 82.6% route rate • 0.28 targets per route • 27.2% target share”
The FF Newsletter· Jul 23“Harold Fannin Jr. will face intense competition for targets in 2026 after the Browns drafted KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. He averaged 9.3 PPR fantasy points per game in 11 contests with seven or fewer targets last season.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 19“During his rookie year, while sharing a position room with David Njoku , Fannin saw the seventh-most targets (104) and averaged the eighth-most fantasy points per game (11.7). Now, with Njoku on the Chargers, there is potential for Fannin to have an even bigger role.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 15“The Ballers shared their concerns about Harold Fannin Jr: Jason: "I hate these middle-round tight ends, but I love Fannin so much." Andy: "I want Harold Fannin to not be a sophomore flop." However, there are concerns from the QB play to the increase in competition to the new head coach and offensive coordinator.”
Colt Williams· Jul 8“He drew the second-most targets per route run at tight end last season (25.5%). While the Browns have questions at quarterback, Fannin is unquestionably the top target in the offense, and new head coach Todd Monken's track record would suggest he plans to rely heavily on him.”
Chad Workman· Jun 23“The Browns already have a target-dominant TE1 in Harold Fannin, and there doesn't feel like there's much room left to prioritize Concepcion in any meaningful way.”
Jeff Krisko· Jun 21“Fannin finished as the TE8 in points per game and has been elevated to the TE6 in ADP, ahead of Sam LaPorta and Kyle Pitts. Fannin seems likely to field passes from both Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, and both are responsible for some of the worst quarterback play we've seen in the league over the last five years.”
Tom Strachan· Jun 16
“Bhayshul Tuten has enormous upside in 2026, if he can separate himself from the pack. Tuten is currently listed as the co-starter atop Jacksonville’s RB depth chart with Chris Rodriguez, yet it is Tuten that Jags HC Liam Coen has raved about at every possible point imaginable.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“Still, Rodriguez is competing for backfield touches with second-year pro Bhayshul Tuten , and Rodriguez could realistically pace the backfield in carries or at least carve out a fantasy-friendly role as a goal-line option.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19“Even though I have brought his name up all offseason, calling Bhayshul Tuten a “must-have” on May 8th, he is the perfect back for this article.”

“Tuten is an explosive play waiting to happen. He is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, and ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11“Round 12: Chris Rodriguez (RB – JAX) The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten as the primary ball-carrier, but Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 5“Bhayshul Tuten (JAC) — ECR: RB25 | Projection Rank: RB23 | Projected FPTS: 193.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 5“Last yr among 35 RBs w/ at least 25 RZ rush att (per @FantasyPtsData ) Sure… Chris Rodriguez was 6th in rushing success % & had the 13th-lowest stuff % BUT… Bhayshul Tuten was 4th BEST in rushing success % & had the 4th-lowest stuff %.”
Mike Anderson· Aug 3“Rodriguez will remain a worry for Tuten at the goal line and to his overall touch count until we see his role fleshed out this season, but if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne’s RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 28“With Travis Etienne Jr. now in New Orleans, there are now more than 250 vacated touches in Jacksonville for Bhayshul Tuten and new running back addition Chris Rodriguez Jr.”
Ryan Kirksey· Jul 24“The Bhayshul Tuten hype train has only continued to grow this offseason. Despite the threat of newly acquired Chris Rodriguez, Tuten’s ADP has been on a steady rise this summer.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten being ranked outside of the top 24 in half-PPR feels criminal. Yes, he will face competition from Chris Rodriguez in camp, but all signs point towards Tuten winning the starting running back role for Jacksonville.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 23“Some may call me crazy, but I call Tuten a league winner.”
Ellis Johnson· Jul 23“Bhayshul Tuten was picked almost entirely on per-touch efficiency. Among 55 qualifying running backs last year, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackles forced, elite marks for a rookie.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 22“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. I want to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was unfortunately robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season as he was sidelined by a finger injury.”
