The 3-11 Cleveland Browns host the 10-4 Buffalo Bills as 10.5-point underdogs this Sunday. At this point the Browns are looking toward next season, and specifically at Shedeur Sanders and whether he has a shot at being a starter in the league.
Sanders’ best target so far has been rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., but last week he only put up 48 yards on a whopping 14 targets against a not great Bears defense. Will he be worth starting in the fantasy playoffs against the Buffalo Bills?
Below, we’ll go over Harold Fannin Jr.‘s outlook in fantasy football for Week 16.
Fantasy Football analysis: Browns, TE, Harold Fannin Jr.
First off, the Bills have been the best team in the NFL at keeping opposing tight ends from scoring fantasy points. They completely shut down Hunter Henry last week and through 14 games, they’ve allowed 38 receptions for 459 yards and two touchdowns. That’s an average of 2.7 receptions for 32.7 yards and .142 touchdowns per game.
All of that is to tell you that it won’t be easy, but when you’re the No. 1 target for a quarterback who just threw you 14 passes attempts, you start in fantasy.
