Noah Fant led the Seattle Seahawks tight ends with four receptions and 56 yards in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. His first catch of the day went for 31 yards and ended up as the Seahawks' longest play from scrimmage on Sunday. Geno Smith went to him again for a 17-yard strike to start Seattle's game-winning drive in overtime. The Seahawks do not prioritize their tight ends in the passing game, nor do they offer predictable playing time to their group. Fant's production on Sunday was a nice surprise, but he cannot be counted on to turn in even those modest numbers again in Week 3. He can be dropped for more promising options on the waiver wire.

Fifth-year veteran Noah Fant has recovered from his offseason knee surgery in time to tune up and be ready for the Seattle Seahawks season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. The tight end scored a touchdown in their Week 12 matchup last year, making it the only game in 2022 where he posted more than 10 fantasy points in standard scoring. In 2023, Fant will again be splitting snaps and targets with Will Dissly, each capping the other's value. Fant is a touchdown-dependent tight end and fantasy managers should seek out a more promising option for Week 1.
