AJ Dillon Remains Handcuff to Chuba Hubbard in Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 8:45 AM

Carolina Panthers running back AJ Dillon had four carries for 16 yards and one catch for negative two yards in the 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. With running back Jonathon Brooks (core) on injured reserve, Dillon is filling in as Chuba Hubbard's backup. The former Packers back played just 16% of snaps in Week 3, while Hubbard played 84%. They face a Detroit Lions defense that has allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, rain is expected, and head coach Dave Canales said the run game will be integral to Sunday night's outcome. While he's strictly a handcuff to Hubbard, Dillon is a name to monitor in Week 4.

Harold Fannin Jr. Looks Like Good Play Vs. Steelers

Wednesday, September 30, 1:40 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is coming off of his breakout game in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers in which he emerged for his first two receiving touchdowns of the season from quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fannin Jr. will look for more of the same at home in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This year, the former Bowling Green tight end has 14 catches for 126 yards (9.0 yards per carry) in his second NFL season. Fannin Jr. has built up his target share in each game this year with him receiving nine targets from Watson in Week 3. Expect more of the same for the talented pass catcher in Week 4 at home. He could push for 10-plus targets and have a very effective game on Thursday Night Football. The Steelers have a serviceable defense but are battling some injuries in the secondary and that could create mismatches to exploit for Fannin Jr. and the Browns passing attack. At 6-foot-4 and 241 pounds, Fannin Jr. has great size for a tight end and will look to put that to use against Pittsburgh. Look for Fannin Jr. to be a top-tier starting tight end this week.
