Who Should I Start? Harold Fannin Jr. or Kenyon Sadiq

After one of the most productive collegiate seasons in recent history, tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was a third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 NFL Draft, and, along with the Colts' Tyler Warren, he was one of only two rookie tight ends to earn 100 targets. With a shakeup to the coaching staff and Cleveland spending two top 40 picks on potential target competition in receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, Fannin is generally not viewed on the same level as the fellow standouts from his class, Warren and Chicago's Colston Loveland, regularly going a full two rounds later than either in dynasty startups. The Browns deployed 12 personnel at the league's highest rate in 2025, but new head coach Todd Monken has traditionally fallen more in line with the league average, and with the team parting ways with veteran tight end David Njoku, Fannin is likely to more frequently find himself as the lone tight end in three-receiver sets. While the talent he put on display at small school Bowling Green was proven legitimate in his first year in the NFL, the situation he faces heading into year two is not as favorable as that of Warren or Loveland, though at RotoBaller's TE5, he is still a legitimate TE1 and a player that dynasty managers can feel comfortable locking into a onesie position for years to come.
