This is admittedly more about Deshaun Watson than the matchup, though Watson isn't the only concern for Fannin coming out of Week 1. The tight end looked fine from a real-life standpoint in the Week 1 loss at Jacksonville, but it's hard to make a fantasy argument when he's dealing with league-worst QB play and competing against KC Concepcion for the type of easy, schemed touches that helped make Fannin fantasy-relevant as a rookie.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Fannin's league-worst QB play and target competition make him a sit despite 68% start rate.

Fannin is 68% started but the source recommends benching him in Week 2 at Tampa Bay. The primary concern is Deshaun Watson's league-worst QB play, which limits Fannin's target volume; additionally, Fannin is competing against KC Concepcion for easy, schemed touches that made him fantasy-relevant as a rookie. The source compares Fannin's situation to Tony Pollard's Week 1 collapse: for Fannin, the fix would require a stabilizing veteran QB like Mac Jones or Joe Flacco, or even Shedeur Sanders, who could at least deliver quick passes accurately rather than turning one in three dropbacks into an adventure the way Watson does.
