Harold Fannin Jr. Rest-of-Season Outlook
Through 7 games he's TE18 at 9.5 PPR points per game, against 11.7 over 16 games last season (TE6). He's running behind last season's pace.
Through Week 7 he ranks 6th of 45 in target share (18.8%). His points come from his target share. Deshaun Watson is his quarterback.
The main risk is the job itself. He's the listed starter with Blake Whiteheart next on the depth chart, and a benching or an injury would take his value to zero overnight.
The next favorable matchups are the Saints in Week 9 (8th against TEs) and the Raiders in Week 12 (4th against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
As a 21-year-old rookie, Fannin already commanded a 20.5% target share across 16 games, drawing 107 looks on a 72.2% route rate and an 0.244 targets-per-route-run mark that reads like a featured pass-catcher, not a part-time tight end. He turned that volume into 72 grabs for 731 yards and six touchdowns, posting a 0.427 WOPR and just a 3.7% drop rate. The efficiency lagged the workload at 1.67 yards per route and 10.15 per catch, but a 42.1% success rate and positive EPA per play signal a player the offense trusts.
The profile is built on opportunity, and there is room to climb. Ten red-zone targets and three end-zone looks hint at touchdown upside that should expand with more snaps than last year's 75.9%. With elite YAC ability shown by 4.89 yards after the catch per reception, Fannin projects as a TE1 ascending into a larger role at age 22.
