The status of Harold Fannin Jr., the promising rookie tight end for the Cleveland Browns, is uncertain for the upcoming Week 10 matchup against the New York Jets due to a hamstring injury. This development emerged after Fannin was included in the injury report on Thursday, following a lack of practice that day.
On Friday, he participated in a limited practice, leading to his questionable designation for the game. Despite this, Ian Rapoport from NFL Network reported that Fannin is “trending towards playing,” indicating a positive outlook for his participation on Sunday.
This week, Fannin is currently ranked as TE13 in fantasy points per game, and since Week 5, he has moved up to TE10 in the same category, making him a viable option in fantasy lineups. Although there was speculation regarding a potential trade involving David Njoku that could have cleared more opportunities for Fannin, the trade deadline passed without any movement.
Nevertheless, Fannin has demonstrated his ability to perform effectively even with Njoku on the field, maintaining his status as a starting option. Facing a Jets defense that allows the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends enhances Fannin”s appeal as a starter in fantasy leagues this week.
In summary, while Fannin”s participation is still in question, the indicators suggest he may take the field, making him a worthwhile start for fantasy players.
