Who Should I Start? Harold Fannin Jr. or Tyler Warren

Monday, September 15, 12:53 PM

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was once again a big part of Cleveland's offense in his second career game in the 41-17 Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Fannin tied for the team lead with five catches on five targets while going for 48 yards, which ranked second on the team, behind only receiver Jerry Jeudy. Through two weeks in 2025, the 21-year-old Bowling Green product ranks first on the team in receptions (12), third in targets (14), and second in receiving yards (111). While the Browns' offense is among the worst in the league, it doesn't appear that Fannin is going anywhere in terms of usage. However, his target share could change if Cleveland eventually benches quarterback Joe Flacco. Fannin should once again be a popular waiver-wire target this week if he's still available. He's currently rostered in 43% of Yahoo leagues.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report due to a toe injury. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status during the week, as he could be dealing with a serious injury. Through his first two games in the NFL, the former Penn State standout has enjoyed an outstanding start to his career. Warren has emerged as a key component of the Indianapolis offense, as he has caught 11 of his 16 targets for 155 yards. With Daniel Jones enjoying a career resurgence in Indianapolis, Warren should continue to hold high-end TE1 value for the foreseeable future. If Warren were to sit out in Week 3 when the Colts face the Tennessee Titans, wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs should see an increased target share.
