The Browns’ rookie tight end injured his groin at today’s practice but still intends to play in the divisional game.
Harold Fannin Jr. suffered a groin injury in practice today and said he intends to play on Sunday against the division rival Pittsburgh Steelers. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team would like to see how it progresses before Sunday.
Fannin has been one of the lone bright spots for the Browns this season, ranking as the Tight End six in PPR formats and recording 70 receptions for 701 yards and five touchdowns while also rushing for thirteen yards and a touchdown, showing his versatility. Injuries this season have been devastating to fantasy managers, making it feel more like a battle of attrition than a chance to make the finals with a powerful team. This would have been a smash matchup for Fannin as the Steelers defense bleeds points to the tight end position. Managers must stay on top of the news in case Fannin can not play and need to pivot to another player.
