Who Should I Start? Tommy Tremble or Harold Fannin Jr.

Tommy Tremble had little involvement in the passing game in Week 11, but he made a game-changing impact on one singular play. During overtime, Tremble had his only reception for 54 yards. The catch set up the game-winning field goal against the Falcons. Outside of the one big play, Tremble was mainly utilized as a blocker. For the third straight week, Tremble logged the most snaps of any Carolina TE, at 58%. In Week 12, the Panthers will face the San Francisco 49ers, who rank 25th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs this season (15.39). Although this is a favorable matchup for TEs, Tremble has not shown he can take advantage of it. Tremble has been targeted more than twice by Carolina QBs this season. He is off the fantasy radar in most leagues, regardless of scoring format.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. led the team with four catches (six targets) for 40 yards in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. After running just 48.5% of the team's routes in Week 11, his lowest in a game since Week 5, Fannin climbed back to 66.7% in Week 12 and paced the Cleveland passing attack in Shedeuer Sanders' first career start. The rookie tight end played a season-high 89.6% of snaps and continued to showcase his exceptional tackle-breaking ability, forcing 11 missed tackles in the game, which is the most by a tight end in a game this season. Fannin mostly operates in a short area of the field to let him generate yards after the catch, and Sanders looked for him as a checkdown frequently. The upside isn't super high for Fannin in a bad Cleveland offense, but he has been their most consistent pass catcher this season. He is worthy of a waiver add in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers looking for a tight end.
