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

Saturday, November 14, 5:13 AM

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was lightly used in Week 9's loss to the New Orleans Saints, but he did find the end zone. Expect him to return to his higher usage in Week 10 against the Houston Texans at home. With Shedeur Sanders under center, Fannin Jr. was targeted just two times and caught two passes for 42 yards, but one of those catches he turned into a touchdown. The two targets were a season-low for Fannin Jr. who was coming off season-highs in targets of nine and 12 in Weeks 8 and 9 respectively. Both of those were with Deshuan Watson under center and Watson is returning to the lineup this week at starting quarterback. Watson has shown a connection with Fannin Jr. and looks for him as a dependable outlet in the passing game. Couple that with the poor Texans pass defense and this looks like a great matchup for a Fannin Jr. bounce-back. The Texans rank No. 27 in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 235.6 passing yards per game and 12 passing touchdowns allowed. Denzel Boston, Cleveland's top wide receiver, is questionable with a toe injury and should he be out, Fannin Jr. would see even more usage in the pass game. Expect Fannin Jr. to return to his solid ways and he should be counted on as a good tight end play.
