Patriots' next big swing might come at tight end - and fans won't hate it
"The Cleveland Browns, for what feels like the hundredth year in a row, are playing very bad football. Sitting at 1-5, they've already made their first quarterback change, with third-round pick Dillon Gabriel now the starting quarterback over the now Bengal Joe Flacco. While they do have one of the better defenses in the league, their offense leaves plenty to be desired, and the stats show exactly that: they score the fewest points out of any team in the league."
"The Browns are terrible, but they do have a young group of offensive players that could turn into something if given the opportunity. Quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders are rookies, UDFA Isaiah Bond starts, and most notably, ex-Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin is the team's leading receiver. He ranks ninth among all tight ends in yards, above both Dallas Goedert and Brock Bowers."
"The New England Patriots are on the upswing without a doubt, winning their last three and sitting atop the AFC East at 4-2. Their next two games are against the Titans and Browns, who have a combined 2-10 record. Assuming they take care of business against a pair of dismal teams, they'll be sitting at 6-2 approaching the trade deadline. If that's the case, adding quality football players seems like a good idea."
The Cleveland Browns sit 1-5 and replaced Joe Flacco with third-round pick Dillon Gabriel as starting quarterback. The Browns' defense rates among the better units, but the offense scores the fewest points in the league. Young offensive pieces include rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, UDFA Isaiah Bond as a starter, and tight end Harold Fannin leading the team in receiving while ranking ninth among tight ends in yards. The New England Patriots are 4-2 with a three-game win streak and face the Titans and Browns next. If the Patriots reach 6-2 before the trade deadline, acquiring a player like David Njoku could be appealing.
