Dallas Goedert vs Harold Fannin Jr.

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Statistically, Dallas Goedert and Harold Fannin Jr. are interchangeable on a season-long basis. The 0.9-PPG gap is one broken play per game. For weekly start/sit calls, check opponent defense and recent form before defaulting to the name.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Harold Fannin Jr.: Tier 2 (Strong Starter) TE (ranked #9 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Harold Fannin Jr. at 43%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Harold Fannin Jr.: Who Should You Start?

This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG over 15 games with the Philadelphia Eagles, while Harold Fannin Jr. clocked in at 9.4 across 16 appearances for the Cleveland Browns. A 0.9-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. Dallas Goedert had 60 catches for 591 yards; Harold Fannin Jr. posted 72 for 731. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Both share a Week 9 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.

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: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Harold Fannin Jr. (age 21) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
