Should You Start or Sit Fannin in Week 14?
This is Harold Fannin’s tight end room, and while that may not mean a ton, it gives us enough clarity in Cleveland to say that he is the streaming option out of an offense that is looking for answers.
His profile is a bit different than other fringy TEs. Personally, when I’m streaming, I view it as damage control. “Which of these players is least likely to lose me this week?”
Maybe you’re different from me. Maybe you want a week winner and are willing to absorb more risk than I am. Both can be right. Or wrong. That’s the nature of the TE streaming world.
Fanning hasn’t reached 45 receiving yards in a game since October, has another tight end at least sniffing around, and is playing in an offense with very much a work in progress under center.
All of that is true, but uncertainty can turn up some gems from time to time. His 34-yard touchdown to end the first half last week against the Niners was beautiful: he found the vacated spot in the zone at the same time Shedeur Sanders did and the Dawg Pound got the first of what they hope is many scores from that connection.
Fannin did lose a fumble on a Tush Push scheme that never had a chance, but it does speak to their comfort level to have him handle those high value snaps. He’s cleared eight PPR points in four of his past five and has seven straight games with at least five targets.
I can’t make the case for him being a “safe” play. Without the touchdown last week, he finishes with nine yards and you’re complaining. It’s a fine line at the tight end position, but this is about as well as you’ll see the Cleveland position project and that’s why he slides just inside my top 12 at the position for this week.
