Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice

Harold Fannin Jr. is a highly productive tight end who put up an impressive 117 catches for 1,555 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final season at Bowling Green. With this pick, the Browns add a complementary piece to David Njoku, who is still a stud tight end in his own right. The landing spot for Fannin isn’t ideal for redraft leagues, as the Browns still have an unclear quarterback situation with target competition that includes Njoku and Jerry Jeudy. But the talent is there for Fannin to make a long-term impact, so he’s still a viable pick in round three in dynasty rookie drafts. I like this pick because the Browns are building up their offense for whoever they decide to take at quarterback. This team’s franchise signal-caller will likely come in the 2026 draft, so it’s a good idea to improve the supporting cast until then.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp

Scouting Report:

Harold Fannin’s calling card in the NFL will be his receiving ability. He is a functional blocker and can hold his own, but no one should be asking him to be the main ingredient of his NFL usage.
Fannin has build-up speed he maximizes with strong footwork. His light feet cover up some slightly stiff hips and average bursts. I honestly was expecting him to be more explosive off the line and in short areas with his size, but his efficient feet allow him to make the most of his raw speed.
He was a versatile piece of the Bowling Green offense who was utilized all over the formation. Last year, he had 32 snaps from the backfield while running 31.7% of his routes from the slot and 26.2% from the perimeter.
Fannin ran primarily up the seam, slants, drags, ins and outs. His crisp footwork at the top of his stem and his strong understanding of leverage allow him to gain separation well and at a higher clip than his raw foot speed might suggest at first glance.
He can create after the catch with jab steps and manufacturing poor angles for would-be tacklers. His legs are also underrated with the power he runs with as he can run through weak tackles and poor wraps.
