The Cleveland Browns will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Harold Fannin Jr..

Should You Start or Sit Fannin in Week 16?
The Browns have young pieces all over their offense and if we are marrying position with talent, you could argue (and I would) that Harold Fannin projects as the most interesting among them for years to come.
The rookie was featured in the opening script (five of Shedeur Sanders’ first seven targets) and he’s now finished consecutive games with 40 routes run and an end zone target.
What learning curve?
In those two contests, he’s racked up 189 air yards and seems to be the player that Sanders most trusts as he looks to stretch the field. Against the Bears on Sunday, he had three more catches than any of his teammates had targets: that level of domination probably doesn’t stick, but if the Bills get frisky with their linebackers in an effort to correct their leaky run defenses, it’s easy to see Fannin hitting for multiple splash plays.
He’s my TE6 for this week and if you told me I was too low on him, I wouldn’t fight you. He’s been phenomenal and as this offense grows together, it’s easy to see a world in which this unit is on the right side of league average.
