Harold Fannin vs Caleb Williams

“Harold Fannin is coming off the board around the sixth-round/seventh-round turn.”

“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.”

“However, Boston faces an uphill battle for immediate fantasy relevance while competing with first-round pick KC Concepcion and tight end Harold Fannin Jr.”

“(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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Caleb Williams (QB – CHI) Williams graded out as a mild negative-regression case, and the notes explain why the risk is real: his QB7 fantasy finish badly outran his passing, as he ranked near the bottom of the league in accuracy and catchable-target rate. His fantasy value is propped up by rushing, so if that production dips even slightly, his stock slides.”

“Another important component in Loveland’s ascent is Caleb Williams . Williams registered an off-target throw on 15.9% of his passes targeted at the rookie tight end last season. Entering his third season in the NFL and second season with Johnson, Williams appears more comfortable running the offense than a year ago.”

“Caleb Williams took a big step forward in 2025 under new Bears head coach and playcaller Ben Johnson , finishing QB6 in fantasy scoring. Williams threw for a franchise-record 3,942 yards.”

“The Bears are expected to take another step offensively in the hands of Caleb Williams , opening up extra field-goal attempts for the veteran kicker. Santos projects to have close to 10 more attempts in the upcoming season, while successfully scoring over 40 extra points this season.”

“Odunze could very well be the WR1 in this offense, and now with Burden sidelined with a groin injury, it will allow Rome to further establish a deeper connection with Caleb Williams .”

“Caleb Williams was once considered a “can’t-miss” quarterback prospect. After a disappointing rookie season, Caleb showed flashes of brilliance in Year 1 with Ben Johnson.”

“Caleb Williams, 2025 (+0.27) Stefon Diggs heads to D.C”

“Only four quarterbacks last season bested their overall scoring ranking compared to ADP by more than five spots: Matthew Stafford (QB23 in ADP and QB3 in overall scoring output), Trevor Lawrence (QB20 in ADP), Drake Maye (QB16), and Caleb Williams (QB15).”

“I can’t say that I dislike Caleb Williams as a fantasy asset; I just don’t think that he should go a full round ahead of Dak Prescott and sixteen picks before Trevor Lawrence.”

“Williams finished last year as the QB5, averaging 1.6 passing touchdowns and 18.7 fantasy points per game. However, he was the QB7 on a points-per-game basis, averaging less than Matthew Stafford (20.6) and Brock Purdy (19.7).”

“The community is so busy mourning Moore's departure that they completely ignore the elite talent left behind in Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland. To cap it off, Williams gets a five-star schedule to exploit this season.”

“Caleb Williams is coming off a sophomore leap, finishing as the QB6 with 323.3 fantasy points. Despite that elite production, the fantasy community is treating his breakout like a fluke. Williams' value remains secure because he provides a safe floor and a high ceiling with his rushing ability and off-script playmaking.”
