Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Harold Fannin Jr.

Sunday, December 7, 9:15 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth continues to play less than half of the offensive snaps, and he seems to be third on the tight end pecking order behind both Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith. Freiermuth was held without a target last Sunday, and he has a modest seven catches over his last four games. The 27-year-old ranks as the overall TE24 so far this season, and his fantasy value has been largely dependent on scoring touchdowns. He has exceeded 6.5 fantasy points (PPR) just three times this year, and it happened in the three games where he scored at least one touchdown. His chances of getting back on track this week are very slim as he takes on the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore has played strong defense against tight ends in 2025, allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position. Freiermuth ranks as the overall TE30 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings. He can be avoided in most leagues during Week 14.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught eight of his 11 targets for 114 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 14 loss against the Tennessee Titans. This was the first time the rookie eclipsed 100 marks in his young career, and he set a new single-game high in receiving yards. Additionally, he has strung together touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time as a pro. The 21-year-old ranks as a top-10 scoring tight end in fantasy football, and he continues to showcase a strong rapport with Shedeur Sanders. Fannin should be started as a mid-range TE1 in all leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
