        Browns Add Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3

        The Browns selected Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft. After a breakout sophomore campaign (44-623-6), Fannin turned in the most productive season from a TE in FBS history. He set single-season records with 117 catches and 1,555 receiving yards, posting an absurd 60.0% Dominator Rating. That easily led this TE class and was the second-highest mark among all TEs with 20+ targets since 2004, behind only Trey McBride. Fannin feasted on a lot of bad defenses in the MAC, but he also torched Penn State for 11 catches, 137 yards, and a TD and Texas A&M for eight catches, 145 yards, and a score. Fannin tested as a mediocre athlete at the Combine, with a 4.71-second 40 time and 34-inch vertical at 241 pounds. But that wasn’t a surprise if you watch his tape. Fannin is an awkward player. He’s clearly explosive in a straight-line, but his change of direction is clunky. Fannin is ultimately an unconventional prospect that comes with a wide range of fantasy outcomes.

        The Browns project to run a fair amount of 12 personnel given the presence of David Njoku. They're also thin at WR.

        But will it matter for Fannin? Probably not. Cleveland's QB situation is among the worst in the NFL. They project as one of the lowest scoring units league-wide, further lowering the ceiling on the rookie.

        Fannin is only draftable in deep TE-premium leagues.

        This seems like a curious landing spot at first. Just note that Njoku's current deal will expire after the 2025 season.

        If Cleveland can solve its QB problem, Fannin could develop into a fantasy spot starter by year two or year three.
