Harold Fannin vs Tucker Kraft: Who Should You Start?
Harold Fannin and Tucker Kraft are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Harold Fannin averaged 9.4 PPG across 16 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Tucker Kraft posted 12.6 PPG in 8 appearances for the Green Bay Packers.
A 3.2-PPG gap gives Tucker Kraft the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Harold Fannin is the volume tight end in this matchup with 72 receptions for 731 yards, while Tucker Kraft profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (6 scores on 32 catches). In weeks where Tucker Kraft finds the end zone he out-scores Harold Fannin, but the floor gap is real.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 10 bye. That means you need a backup plan at tight end for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
