The Cleveland Browns managed to rip a loss out of the jaws of victory against the Bengals in Week 1 and now they face the Ravens in Baltimore as 11.5-point underdogs in Week 2. The Ravens will be ready to take out their frustrations on the less talented Browns, but that doesn\u2019t mean Joe Flacco won\u2019t throw 50 times.<\/p>\n
Against the Bengals, in a game the Browns very much could have won, Flacco completed 31-of-45 passes. There will be plenty of targets to go around. and rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. hopes he can once again be a focal point of the Browns passing attack. In Week 1 he caught 7-of-9 targets for 63 yards. His nine targets and seven receptions both were tied for second-most in the league.<\/p>\n

Fannin Jr. was the TE2 in snaps and routes in Week 1 behind David Njoku. He had a high 31% target per route run rate, per PFF. That kind of usage will be hard to replicate, especially if he continues to play behind Njoku, which he should.<\/p>\n
Below, we\u2019ll go over Harold Fannin\u2019s outlook in fantasy football for Week 2.<\/p>\n
Fantasy Football\u00a0analysis: Browns, TE, Harold Fannin Jr.<\/p>\n
The Ravens have a good defense, but they were beat by tight ends more than any other position last season in fantasy. They also gave up a touchdown to Dalton Kincaid last week. Njoku remains in play, but so does Fannin. In a game that should have plenty of targets, I still expect Fannin to get his shots with the Browns lacking at wide receiver depth.<\/p>\n

Start or sit in Week 2 PPR leagues?<\/p>\n
Start. Tight ends are tough, so when you see one getting special attention, it\u2019s worth seeing if they can continue winning targets. Adding in the likely pass-first, come from behind game script, and I like Fannin again this week in both PPR and standard.<\/p>\n
