Harold Fannin
vs Jordyn Tyson

“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.”

“Until Jordyn Tyson returns from IR, Vele is the clear WR2 on an offense that loves to throw the ball. The Saints are going to run more offensive snaps than any team in football if Kellen Moore has anything to say on it. That means Devaughn Vele is going to see a bunch of targets.”

“Jordyn Tyson is on the injured reserve (IR) to start the season, which means the only New Orleans pass-catchers with any experience besides Johnson are Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele .”

“Jordyn Tyson will be sidelined for at least the next two months with a hamstring injury. The timeline is a cause for concern for fantasy managers, as it suggests the injury is more serious.”

“Jordyn Tyson lands with the New Orleans Saints and should be the immediate second target in an ascending passing game led by Tyler Shough . Over the last two collegiate seasons, Tyson has ranked 60th and 11th in yards per route run and 12th and 15th in receiving grade (per PFF). Hopefully, Tyson has kicked the injury bug that plagued him in college.”

“Even with the lack of elite talent in the 2026 class, it was widely expected that Carnell Tate , Makai Lemon , and Jordyn Tyson would round out the top three at their position heading into their final collegiate season.”

“Jordyn Tyson is my WR1 of the 2026 rookie class, one spot ahead of Carnell Tate in my overall dynasty ranks. He was incredibly efficient during his time in college, with a career 31.2% target rate and 2.71 YPRR.”

“Jordyn Tyson is my selection to be the rookie to far surpass his ADP in 2026. Going into the draft, it was widely accepted that Tyson had the highest ceiling among the receivers.”

“Tyson has enormous upside, especially inside a Kellen Moore offense. We are banking on a quick start for the rookie.”

“Jordyn Tyson is a favorite draft target in the seventh round based on ADP.”

“Some believe Jordyn Tyson would have been the first wide receiver drafted if not for his injury history. Yet, he landed in an excellent spot for his fantasy value. Yes, Chris Olave is still the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver. However, that could change starting next season, as Olave is heading into the final year of his contract. More importantly, Tyler Shough played really well last season and looks like a franchise quarterback. Tyson could be a fantasy star sooner than later with Kellen Moore on the sidelines.”

“Tyson is checking all the boxes as a wide receiver that I have interest in in fantasy football drafts. He is extremely talented (my WR2 in this draft class), the depth chart is a mess behind him, and he has a hyperfragile incumbent ahead of him. I love Jordyn Tyson in redraft leagues, as you are likely to get him in the WR30s or early WR40s.”
