Who Should I Start? Harold Fannin Jr. or Mason Taylor

Tuesday, October 21, 10:17 PM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. While he turned in a quiet outing, Fannin still wound up leading the Browns in receiving in a game where they passed for just 116 yards on a windy, rainy day in Cleveland. Fannin has been impressive in his rookie season, catching 32 passes for 290 yards and one touchdown through seven games. With David Njoku (knee) looking iffy for a Week 8 road matchup against the New England Patriots, Fannin could be queued up for a big fantasy day. Treat him as a low-end TE1 this Sunday.

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor bounced back a little bit from a one-catch game in London, hauling in three of his five targets on Sunday for 31 yards. The second-round pick played 93% of the snaps for the Jets and has been almost an every-down option for New York the last few weeks. With Garrett Wilson (knee) out, Taylor finished second on the team with five targets behind only Josh Reynolds, who drew nine targets from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback made the offense look great, but Taylor is involved enough to be worth a look if you need help from the waiver wire at tight end, especially if Wilson is out another week. Taylor and the 0-7 Jets visit the Bengals this week before their Week 9 bye week. The Bengals have been the most generous matchup in the NFL for tight ends this season, so Taylor has upside to consider as a one-week solution.
