Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up 8 catches for 114 yards and a TD on 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He nearly doubled his nearest teammate in targets while accounting for large market shares on a high-volumme passing day for Cleveland:

28.9% of targeted passes
34.8% of receptions
31.3% of receiving yards
33.3% of receiving TDs

Cleveland atttempted 42 passes for the game, well above the 33.8 per game it averaged for the season entering Sunday.

Here are those market shares for Fannin entering Week 14:

20% of targets
21.8% of receptions
23.4% of receiving yards
27.3% of TD catches

So Fannin's a good bet to be heavily involved in the Cleveland passing game. But he accounted for a significantly larger share than usual, on top of benefiting from elevated team passing volume.

The Browns figure to remain underdogs for each of their final three games, which should help that passing folume. They also get two better TE-scoring matchups among those games than Tennessee presented Sunday, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

So be careful about treating Sunday's production as a signal you need to start Fannin weekly the rest of the way. But he certainly can fit as your lead TE through the final three fantasy weeks.
