Harold Fannin Jr. vs Tyler Warren: The Full Breakdown

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Harold Fannin Jr. finished the 2025 season at 9.4 PPG over 16 games with the Cleveland Browns, while Tyler Warren clocked in at 8.9 across 17 appearances for the Indianapolis Colts. A 0.5-point gap means any given week could go either way.

With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Harold Fannin Jr. had 72 catches for 731 yards; Tyler Warren posted 76 for 817. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Harold Fannin Jr. is off Week 11 and Tyler Warren Week 13. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Harold Fannin Jr. (age 21) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Tyler Warren (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
