Our read
The games math is the first thing to get straight: this isn't a hurt guy, it's a healthy scratch. He played 6 of 17 in 2025 and 7 of 17 in 2024, and the sheet is explicit that none of the missed weeks were injury or reserve list. So the 13-game expectation feels like a stretch, and the 6-to-17 range really spans 6 healthy weeks to a depth chart shakeup. That's the situation you're drafting, if you draft him at all.
And the production when he did play was near zero. 0.4 points a game on 2 touches and 4 receiving yards all season, zero weeks over the position's median, no red-zone touches. His per-game figure fell from 2.44 in 2024 to 0.4, and even 2024 was TE71 in a season where he sat 10 healthy weeks. The usage backs it up too: a 22.6% snap share, TE100, and a 3.2% target share, TE117. His team's own Vegas win total sits at 5.5, so the whole operation gives him little room to matter. Meanwhile Harold Fannin Jr. sits first on the depth chart and a new coaching staff, Todd Monken and Travis Switzer, has no reason to lean on a fourth-year undrafted tight end. Our number is 32 points, TE94, with only four players left in his tier before a 3.1-point cliff.
There's no ADP on file and I'd keep it that way. This is a deep-league name only if Fannin goes down, and that's a bet you make on waivers in November, not a draft pick in August. Let him go in every format.
