One of the most surprising developments of Week 1 was the play and usage of rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. A third-round pick out of Bowling Green, the expectation was that Fannin would play behind David Njoku and be a part-time player in the offense, functioning as the No. 2 tight end and H-back. But that wasn’t the case at all in Week 1.
Not only did Fannin have a significant role in the offense, but he also led the team in targets with nine. He caught seven passes for 63 yards and was tied with Jerry Jeudy for the most yards from scrimmage (66).
