From the video
43 of his 76 receptions last year were caught less than five yards down the field per PFF. 53 of his 76 receptions were on first read targets... Todd Monkin soon as he was hired looked at the film and said, 'Uh, I'm going to get my guys.' And he got Casey Conpion and he got Denzel Boston in the top 40 overall picks.
STACKED’s take
New OC Todd Monken's acquisition of Casey Conpton threatens Fannon's target role.
Fannon is drafted at the 4th pick of round 7 but faces significant role concerns. Last season under OC Kevin Stefanski, 43 of his 76 receptions (57%) were caught less than five yards downfield and 53 of 76 receptions (70%) were on first-read targets. New OC Todd Monken acquired Casey Conpton and Denzel Boston in the top 40 overall picks, with Conpton positioned as the new 'easy button' and PPR sponge, directly impacting Fannon's target share and role. Monken has emphasized heavy target volume for Conpton. Fannon goes too early on Yahoo in full PPR; while he is one of the best yards-after-catch players in the league with exceptional receiving skills and rare first-read target opportunities at tight end, it is rare for a tight end to maintain first-read target volume through a scheme change.
