I've cautioned fantasy managers about Harold Fannin Jr. all offseason, and this is a hill that I will die on... Fannin has to compete with two outstanding rookie receivers for targets in KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Veteran Jerry Jeudy remains as well. Running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson return healthy, and most experts feel that the only way Cleveland will stay competitive in most games this season is by wearing opponents down in the run game and winning the time-of-possession battle. Despite all of these shortcomings, Fannin is still ranked as the TE6, and I'm running to the hills at that price range.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Fannin's TE6 ranking ignores poor QB play, receiver competition, and run-game shift.

Despite compiling a 72/731/6 split on 107 targets as a rookie (TE6 finish), JJ Zachariason is skeptical of Fannin's ability to replicate that success in 2026. Key concerns: Deshaun Watson averaged only 5.9 yards per attempt and 62% completion rate over his last two seasons; Fannin must compete with rookie receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston plus veteran Jerry Jeudy for targets; running backs Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson return healthy, suggesting Cleveland will prioritize the run game and time-of-possession. Fannin is ranked TE6 but Zachariason would prefer Sam LaPorta, George Kittle, Travis Kelce, or Isaiah Likely, all being taken after him.
