If you are not controlling the fan through the red wires they should be tied together in the fan J-Box.
We always install 14/2/2 from the fan to the switch box. The red/white pair get connected to the red wires in the fan. This allows any option the homeowner wants during trim out.
In CA we are required to install condensation/humidity sensors on fans in rooms with a bathtub or shower. The black on the fan gets a constant hot and the reds go to the switch. Condensation sensor in fan with turn a fan on or it can be turned on manually by closing the switch connected to the red wires.
