Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Harold Fannin Jr.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant had four catches (five targets) for 26 yards in the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also had a touchdown in that one. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old hasn't done anything meaningful since then, catching eight passes for 54 yards. In Fant's defense, the entire offense hasn't looked the best, and it didn't matter whether it was Joe Burrow (toe) or Jake Browning under center. With the recently acquired Joe Flacco getting the start versus the Packers, it's unknown how his presence will impact the offense. However, until the offense can turn things around, Fant shouldn't be anywhere near a fantasy lineup. That will still apply if Ja'Marr Chase (illness) ends up getting ruled out in Week 6.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught the first touchdown of his career in a 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Fannin will look to keep it going in a road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. The rookie tight end out of Bowling Green has quickly turned into one of Cleveland's top weapons in the passing game, ranking third on the team in receiving yards and first with 21 receptions. The Steelers have struggled to contain tight ends this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position, putting Fannin in line to turn in a solid performance. He sets up as a mid-range TE2 in fantasy leagues this weekend.
