Harold Fannin vs Parker Washington

“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.”

“Parker Washington is slated to enter the 2026 season as Trevor Lawrence’s top target. Jakobi Meyers and, of course, Brian Thomas Jr.”

“The target competition is stiffer now, with Jakobi Meyers joining the team midway through the 2025 season and Parker Washington looking like a breakout star late in the year. The Jags say two-way player Travis Hunter will be deployed primarily as a cornerback this year, but he’s a potential wild card as a target thief.”

“Parker Washington surged late last season and enters 2026 with real momentum.”

“However, throughout training camp, it seems like Trevor Lawrence has developed some serious chemistry with Washington, as he has reportedly been one of Lawrence’s favorite targets. Washington is also coming off an impressive second half last season, giving us some evidence that this breakout didn’t come out of nowhere.”

“Washington should continue to operate as the team’s primary punt returner (he ceded kickoff return duties to LeQuint Allen Jr. in 2025), where he finished fifth in the NFL with 341 return yards. He was one of five players across the league with multiple punt return touchdowns.”

“Parker Washington (WR – JAC) “At one point, Parker Washington was seen as the heir apparent to Christian Kirk in a Trevor Lawrence -led offense.”

“Parker Washington tore it up for the Jaguars down the stretch. Now, he’s been the talk of camp every day, showing incredible chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.”

“, Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington (and perhaps occasional contributions from Travis Hunter ), Lawrence has a good set of wide receivers.”

“Parker Washington (WR – JAX) is the true upside swing to take at wide receiver this year. Over a specific four-game stretch late last season, he averaged over 22 PPR points per game backed by real high-value volume, including red zone and deep targets, not just underneath work, and he’s expected to keep getting fed in high-leverage spots this year.”

“Parker Washington flashed legitimate breakout potential late in 2025, thriving as Jacksonville’s primary slot weapon once injuries opened up additional opportunity in the offense. The former Penn State receiver was extremely productive down the stretch (over 14 PPG from Weeks 9-18), dominating air yards and target share while showcasing strong efficiency metrics.”

“Parker Washington is coming off an outstanding third season in Jacksonville, finishing as the WR27 last season in half-point PPR formats with a 58/847/5 split (all career highs). Initially used as a rotational piece alongside Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr., Washington really hit his stride after the Jaguars’ bye in Week 8, becoming the featured receiver in the offense and someone whom quarterback Trevor Lawrence favored.”

“Parker Washington ‘s appearance on the table is exciting, as he’s someone I’ve pounded the table for all offseason.”
