Though the Cleveland Browns lost to the New England Patriots by a score of 32 to 13 in week 8, rookie TE Harold Fannin Jr. stood out on the offensive side of the ball for the Browns. His overall performance on Sunday has resulted in a nomination for the NFL’s Rookie of the Week Award.
He caught six passes for 62 receiving yards and a touchdown on Sunday, and was really one of the only bright spots on offense for Cleveland throughout the entire game. His 10.3 yards per reception average was also the second-highest
amongst the team’s pass-catchers, right behind Jamari Thrash.
Fannin Jr., one of the Browns’ 2025 third-round picks (Dillon Gabriel being the other), currently leads the team in receiving with 38 receptions, 352 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. He’s also been responsible for 16 receiving first-downs as well, the most on the team in 2025.
