What happened: Harold Fannin Jr. has caught 37 passes for 453 yards and four touchdowns in 2026 through nine games. The second-year tight end continues to establish himself as a primary target in Cleveland's passing offense.
Why it matters: Selected 67th overall in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Bowling Green, Fannin has quickly translated his collegiate volume to the professional ranks. His 10 career touchdown catches and total receiving yardage lead all tight ends drafted in his class.
By the numbers: In 2026 through 9 games: 37 receptions, 453 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns; 10 career touchdown receptions lead the 2025 draft class.
What to watch: Cleveland enters the second half of the regular season looking to sustain Fannin's weekly target volume.
