Should You Start or Sit Harold Fannin Jr. in Week 3?
The rookie is impressing, and the Browns are clearly interested in embracing it.
Harold Fannin Jr. is leading David Njoku in all categories and has hauled in 12 of his 14 targets through two weeks. The volume numbers in Cleveland as a whole look unsustainable at a glance, but unless you think this team is going to be competitive moving forward, I’m not sure how out of line things are.
Njoku saw the first target of Week 2 (six-yard gain), and Fannin was there for the second. This is a two-TE system that provides a pair of streaming options with promising upside.
The concern is simple: these two tight ends have combined for two targets inside the opponent’s 30-yard line. The limitations on valuable looks are going to make it hard for either of these two to move into the lineup lock tier.
