Harold Fannin Jr. May Be a Steal at Current Redraft ADP

Thursday, July 16, 10:58 AM

A third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. recorded 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets across 16 games as a rookie. Even while splitting reps with veteran tight end David Njoku, Fannin Jr. finished the year as the TE8 in per-game PPR scoring. Entering 2026, Fannin Jr. profiles as the unquestioned TE1 in Cleveland following the offseason departure of Njoku in free agency. While the Browns used a pair of top-40 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft on wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston, Fannin Jr. may still profile as the most reliable and consistent target in the Cleveland passing game. The Browns' quarterback situation remains one of the NFL's worst on paper, which is a definite concern for Fannin Jr.'s fantasy upside. However, the 22-year-old specializes in winning in the short and intermediate areas of the field, which should make him a security blanket for whoever is lining up under center for Cleveland. Fannin Jr.'s track record as a high-volume target-earner dates back to his final year in college at Bowling Green, when he led the country in both receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,555). As the seventh tight end off the board by current redraft ADP, Fannin Jr. profiles as a value selection for fantasy managers.

Tyler Warren Remains an Elite Dynasty Tight End Entering 2026

Tuesday, July 14, 10:49 AM

The 14th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren recorded 76 catches for 817 yards and four touchdowns on 112 targets across 17 games as a rookie. While the 24-year-old's overall line is impressive, his production faded down the stretch of the year. Warren reached double-digit PPR points just once following the Colts' Week 12 bye, and he finished the year as the TE11 by per-game PPR scoring. However, Warren may be entering 2026 as the number one option in the Indianapolis passing game following the team's offseason trade of veteran wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Warren will also get to rekindle his chemistry with Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), whose absence due to a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 14 of 2025 largely coincided with Warren's fading production. Dynasty contenders should view Warren as an elite tight end option entering 2026.
