If Blake Whiteheart is out, who gets his targets?
The Cleveland Browns room absorbs +0.20 receptions, and Harold Fannin Jr. takes the largest single share at +0.20. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.
Where the work goes
Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.
Every player in the room
| Player | Now | If out | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| KC Concepcion WR · 68% snaps | 4.10 | 4.10 | +0.00 |
| Harold Fannin Jr. TE · 84% snaps | 4.10 | 4.30 | +0.20 |
| Denzel Boston WR · 92% snaps | 3.70 | 3.70 | +0.00 |
| Quinshon Judkins RB · 66% snaps | 2.60 | 2.60 | +0.00 |
| Jerry Jeudy WR · 61% snaps | 2.20 | 2.20 | +0.00 |
| Raheim Sanders RB · 27% snaps | 1.80 | 1.80 | +0.00 |
| Dylan Sampson RB · 0% snaps | 1.40 | 1.40 | +0.00 |
| Blake Whiteheart TE · 43% snaps | 0.80 | — | OUT |
| Malachi Corley WR · 0% snaps | 0.80 | 0.80 | +0.00 |
| Isaiah Bond WR · 11% snaps | 0.50 | 0.50 | +0.00 |
What the data says happens
Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.
| Room | Receptions gained | n | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivers | +0.107 | 2,160 | 2.29 |
| Tight ends | +0.492 | 1,024 | 9.57 |
| Backs | -0.045 | 1,259 | -0.92 |
The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
