The Browns' offense is not loaded with the most promising fantasy assets. The unit is young and still developing, but the quarterback play holds most of it back to an extent.
During the 2026 season here on Browns Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players who can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start-or-sit. In this piece, we will be looking at tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Can he replicate the success he had in his rookie season? In Week 1, it could be a rough start to achieve that.
While he may be facing a tough Week 1 matchup, he is still worth starting as he projects to be a TE1 again. The Jaguars lost some of their linebackers,
and their defense in the middle of the field is going to be making some adjustments in the opening weeks.
Fannin could have a pop or two to help the Browns, and perhaps be the only fantasy viable option when we look back on Week 1.
