Harold Fannin Jr.
TE
Cleveland Browns
- Quarterback Deshaun Watson is questionable. Watch the status.
- Teammate Denzel Boston (a top target) is questionable.
A hurt top target or lead back nudges the projection up a little, since their work tends to shift to teammates. QB and offensive-line flags are shown for context but do not change the number.
This is how TEs have played against the Steelers in the 2026 season.

How Harold Fannin Jr. should do vs the SteelersSeason log, the group you pick, and a projection
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Steelers, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Harold Fannin Jr. has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Steelers opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Harold Fannin Jr. will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Steelers avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Harold Fannin Jr.'s own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Harold Fannin Jr. usually produces.
Projected is Harold Fannin Jr.'s recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Steelers were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.

Difference is what the defense allows minus what Jr. averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
Prediction & chance to scoreHarold Fannin Jr. vs the Steelers
Prediction for Harold Fannin Jr.
Nobody knows which slot Harold Fannin Jr. will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Steelers.
I predict about 10.8 points for Harold Fannin Jr. if playing as a TE1. Harold Fannin Jr. has averaged 12.9 over 3 games, and the Steelers have given up 6.6 to TE1s (-37% vs the league average of 10.5).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Harold Fannin Jr. scored: Wk 1 4.1, Wk 2 10.4, Wk 3 24.1. Average 12.9; weighted toward recent games it is 13.3.
2. The defense. Over 3 games, the Steelers allowed 6.6 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.5, so that is -37%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 3 defensive games, only 50% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -19% adjustment (x0.81).
4. Result. 13.3 x 0.81 = 10.8. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Harold Fannin Jr. is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (10.8) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 8.3 points, leaning on Harold Fannin Jr.'s own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 11.
With only 3 games of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
