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

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth finally broke through for fantasy purposes in Week 7 with 111 yards and two touchdowns and will hope to stay involved in a Sunday night bout with the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay has surrendered the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, so while at least one of Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, or Darnell Washington could deliver, it is tough to predict who. It was encouraging to see Freiermuth log a 65% snap share last week, but fantasy managers would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him into starting lineups. The fifth-year pro checks in as the TE25 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. led his team with four catches for 36 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7 on a windy, rainy afternoon where his team only attempted 18 passes. Fannin will look to continue his breakout rookie season on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 8. The Patriots are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends this season, giving Fannin a nice matchup on Sunday. Fantasy managers will want to monitor the status of David Njoku (knee), who is listed as questionable with a knee injury. If Njoku is active, Fannin sets up on the TE1/TE2 borderline, but if Njoku is inactive, Fannin will be a solid, mid-range TE1 in Week 8.
