Dawson Knox vs Harold Fannin: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Dawson Knox (Buffalo Bills) finished the 2025 season averaging 5.0 fantasy points per game in 17 games. Harold Fannin (Cleveland Browns) came in at 9.4 PPG over 16 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Harold Fannin carries a 4.4-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Harold Fannin is the volume tight end in this matchup with 72 receptions for 731 yards, while Dawson Knox profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (4 scores on 36 catches). In weeks where Dawson Knox finds the end zone he out-scores Harold Fannin, but the floor gap is real.
Dawson Knox has his bye in Week 12, and Harold Fannin rests in Week 10. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
