Harold Fannin
vs Carnell Tate

“Browns Fantasy Tight End Preview Harold Fannin After a quiet season opener, Fannin has rebounded with games of 5-45-0 and 7-51-2. He scored both Cleveland touchdowns on Sunday, becoming the first Cleveland player to get an end-zone target other than Boston to open the season. Fannin is averaging only 9.0 yards per catch, but with Watson focusing on getting rid of the football, he has regained opportunities in the offense.”

“Fannin played 85.7% of the snaps, ran 68.8% of the routes, and earned a 30% target share. On that improved usage, he earned nine targets, catching seven of them for 51 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 24.1 PPR points on the day. Fannin won’t get 30% of the targets every game, but this is also a ceiling that most tight ends don’t have.”

“Fannin had 72 catches for 731 yards and six TDs last year. He led all FBS pass catchers — both tight ends and wide receivers — in catches and receiving yards in his final college season at Bowling Green in 2024. Fannin is a legitimate dude, and he could be the answer to a fantasy team’s TE problem.” – Pat Fitzmaurice ( FantasyPros )”

“Fannin was fourth on the team with a 13.6% target share and 7.1% first-read share. He had only two receptions and 21 receiving yards (0.95 YPRR). Fannin also didn’t get any high cholesterol usage, as he didn’t have any red zone, end zone, or deep targets.”

“Fannin caught two passes for 21 yards all afternoon, even though Cleveland was in catch-up mode all game long. As long as Deshaun Watson is under center, it will be difficult to trust anyone on the Browns as a startable asset moving forward.”

“Fannin has to compete with two outstanding rookie receivers for targets in KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston . Veteran Jerry Jeudy remains as well.”

“Harold Fannin is one in this range, which should be the top target option on his team, and he doesn’t have to compete with Njoku this year.”

“The Browns have added more weapons and Njoku is gone, so it will be interesting to see if Fannin was a product of necessity or talent. I believe it is the latter, and the second-easiest opening schedule gives him a great opportunity to prove it.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Fannin averaged 9.3 PPR fantasy points per game in the 11 contests with seven or fewer targets last year. By comparison, Fannin averaged 16.9 fantasy points per game in the five contests with eight or more targets.”

““ Carnell Tate is my favorite buy-low because I think his role is developing faster than his fantasy production. He caught six of nine targets for 58 yards against the Giants, and I want to buy that involvement before a touchdown makes the box score more exciting. I have Tate at WR29 for the rest of the season, compared with WR42 in FantasyPros’ consensus.”

“Carnell Tate might end up being a product of a bad situation with Cam Ward struggling so far, and he can stay on your bench until something changes.”

“Tate has been given as much opportunity as any rookie WR in football, as he leads all rookie WRs in target share.”

“Carnell Tate – 5 targets, 3 rec The Titans drafted Tate fourth overall in the NFL Draft, but through the first two weeks, they aren’t deploying him as an alpha. To be fair, his 11 targets this season account for a 24% target share. He’ll need improved QB play from Cam Ward and a better offensive environment all around to reach his potential for fantasy.”

“Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Question #2 – Season-Long Strategy (Rookie WR Special) Very simple question… Carnell Tate – are you feeling the pantsless breeze just rolling him as a WR1, or do we need to talk about this? – soulcoffin Answer: Drafted with the fourth-overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft back in April, the Ohio State product finds himself in a less-than-ideal scenario on a passing offense that ranked dead last in TDs, 30th in completion %, and 29th in yards through the air…but those numbers do go some way to explaining why the Titans had the 1.04 in the first place.”

“Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward’s ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays.”

“While Carnell Tate will see a significant workload, Robinson should lead the Titans in targets and receptions. Chris Godwin Jr. (WR – TB) | ADP: 100.8 ( WR 40) Unfortunately, Chris Godwin Jr. has struggled to stay healthy the past few seasons, missing 18 games in 2024 and 2025 due to injury.”

“Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Currently the WR14 in dynasty ECR, ahead of several more established veteran names, one analyst believes this is close to as good as Tate’s value will ever be, even after ranking him as his own WR1 in this year’s rookie class.”
