Projected 10.3 half-PPR points in Week 9, with a likely range of 5.6 to 17.8.Half-PPREvery catch is worth half a point. It is the middle ground between PPR and standard scoring, where catches score nothing on their own.More in the glossary ProjectionOur estimate of a player’s fantasy points this week, built from his share of his team’s targets, carries and passes, how much his team is expected to score, and his preseason value.

| Step | Points | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline: His role and efficiency over 8 games, with his preseason TE7 ADP at 20% weight, at his usual line | 9.4 | 9.4 |
| Vegas: CLE implied 20.5 vs 18.0 in his games | +0.9 | 10.3 |
| Matchup: NO 8th softest vs TE: already in the Vegas line | 0.0 | 10.3 |
| Availability: No designation, no teammate ruled out | 0.0 | 10.3 |
| Projection | 10.3 | 10.3 |
Each step is the change from switching that factor on, in this order, so the steps add up to the projection. The matchup adds nothing with a line: the model's backtest found the line already prices the defense.

- Matchup (DvP) · defense vs positionHow many fantasy points this week’s opponent has allowed to a position, ranked 1 to 32. “3rd softest” allows the 3rd-most, “1st toughest” the fewest.

It is context, not in the projection: with a Vegas line, the model adds nothing for the matchup.

PPR pts is nflverse's full-PPR total for the game; the smaller line under it is the same game in Half-PPR, then Standard (half a point, and a point, less per catch). "Score this game" opens the fantasy point calculator with that exact line loaded, to re-score it in your league's settings. A dash means nflverse has no figure for that game yet.

The July 2026 draft-day read
This is the July 2026 pre-draft read, kept as published. Every ADP and market figure on this page comes from the Fantasy Football Calculator snapshot of Jul 15, 2026 and is not updated in-season — 2026 drafts are over and ADP has stopped moving. In-season tools
Harold Fannin's 9.4 half-PPR points per game in 2025 sit below what a TE6 draft price usually buys — July 2026 drafters were paying for projection, not the previous season's line. His target share trended up over his last three games of 2025.
This week's projection is in the Week 9 card above. The July 2026 draft-day read is opinion, framed from the cited 2025 data.
The numbers behind the read
| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ADP (July 2026) | 77.7 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Overall ADP rank (July 2026) | 78 | Fantasy Football Calculator |
| Fantasy points / game | 9.4 | nflverse |
| Points over expected (FPOE) | +0.4 | nflverse |
| Target share | 21.8% | nflverse |
| Target share, last 3 games (2025) | 25.4% | nflverse |
| Sleeper search rank (July 2026) | 63 | Sleeper |
xFP (expected fantasy points) is what a typical player would score with the same targets, carries and field position. FPOE (points over expected) is actual points minus xFP, per game.
The consensus read
Harold Fannin was drafted as the TE6 — ADP 77.7 — in July 2026. His 9.4 half-PPR points per game in 2025 clears the TE starter line, with targets trending up late in that year.
- ADP 77.7
- Overall ADP rank 78
- Sleeper search rank 63
- Fantasy points / game 9.4
The edge case — what had to be true
Every belief was tied to a checkpoint: the exact data point that would confirm or deny it, with its value at the time of the July 2026 read. Check them against what has actually happened since.

Strong pick if you believed
Harold Fannin's late-2025 target share is the new baseline, not a blip
Poor pick if instead
Harold Fannin's late-2025 target spike is small-sample noise that reverts

Steady: within half a point a game of expectation, so his usage explains his scoring and this checkpoint does not lean either way.
