Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant scored his first touchdown since 2022 in a Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Fant's touchdown was a flipping effort at the goal line that put the Seahawks ahead in this game. The touchdown would turn out to be the game-winner. Fant finished the day with five receptions for 63 yards in addition to the touchdown. He recorded exactly 500 receiving yards this season on 48 catches. Fant was due for a touchdown. It is only fitting that it came on a day in which quarterback Geno Smith threw four touchdown passes. The Seahawks clearly value Fant as a contributor in their offense and that should continue moving forward. If Smith can bounce back in the touchdown department next season, Fant will be an interesting fantasy asset given how high-powered Seattle's offense is.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant has built some momentum in recent weeks. He has earned at least five targets in three straight games. He has also reached at least 43 yards in two straight games. Fant will look to carry that momentum into a Week 18 road tilt with the Los Angeles Rams. Fant's issue recently has been his inability to find the end zone. The Seahawks have had trouble throwing touchdowns all season with quarterback Geno Smith having only tossed 17. While Fant has never scored more than four touchdowns in a season, he has been especially dry over the last couple of years. Fant has not scored a touchdown since the 2022 season. In Week 18, Fant will play a Rams defense that is No. 27 against opposing tight ends in fantasy. It feels like a game in which he could get loose. With many teams resting players and a few quarterback injuries around the league affecting the output of their skill players, Fant could be a desperation option for fantasy managers in need of a tight end this week.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant led the team in receiving on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears. Fant was a considerable safety valve for quarterback Geno Smith all game long. The Seahawks only scored six points en route to an ugly win over the Bears. Fant was the lone bright spot. He delivered near double-digit fantasy points for any fantasy managers that threw a dart at Fant. Even so, throughout this season, Fant has been far more important to the success of the Seahawks as opposed to fantasy managers. It was nice to see him break loose a couple of times in Week 17. However, his final stat line of four receptions for 43 yards was nothing to write home about. Look for Fant's role to remain significant in Week 18. Still, Fant's touchdown upside is severely capped and Week 17 marked just his fifth-highest yardage total on the season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) is not a player you can trust to lead your team to a fantasy championship this week. The Seahawks play the Chicago Bears in Week 17 who are middle-of-the-road against opposing tight ends in fantasy. Fant receives solid target volume in Seattle's offense, but his yardage is often capped, and his touchdown upside is limited. Rookie tight end AJ Barner seems to be the team's preferred tight end target in the red zone. Fant has not scored a touchdown since 2022. Fant has earned at least four targets in seven straight games. However, he has only exceeded 26 yards in three of those games. If their yardage is limited and touchdowns are scarce, then it is difficult to trust a tight end in fantasy football. Leave Fant on waivers this week.
Dec 25, 2024 6:33 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice session. That is good news after Fant was limited during Monday's walkthrough. It sounds like Fant should be ready to go for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. Fant has been dealing with a lingering knee issue for weeks, but has suited up in each of the last four games. Over that span, Fant has 12 receptions for 109 yards, which means he'll be a low-end TE2 for Week 17.
Dec 24, 2024 9:25 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was listed as limited on the team's estimated practice report on Monday. The Seahawks didn't actually hold a practice on Monday, so Fant's status was merely an estimation. The 27-year-old was on the injury report last week as well with a minor knee injury before playing through it on Sunday and securing only three of his six targets for 50 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. He's probably not going to get much practice work in on a short week, but barring a setback with his knee, Fant should be available for Thursday night's clash against the Chicago Bears. Fant logged 75 percent of the offensive snaps against the Vikes and will continue to operate as a low-ceiling TE for fantasy managers this week behind receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Fant has only cleared 50 receiving yards three times in 2024 and doesn't have a TD.
Dec 23, 2024 7:48 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant caught three of six targets for 50 yards in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Fant earned six targets after earning seven in Week 15. He did a lot more with his receptions this week than he has in recent weeks. It was great to see since Fant had not exceeded 26 receiving yards since Week 7. If you made it this far in the fantasy playoffs with a rag-tag rotation of tight ends, then Fant could be on the radar in Week 17 in Chicago. Still, he is realistically a TE2 due to his lack of touchdown upside and the usual lack of yardage. Tread lightly with Fant despite the solid effort.
Dec 22, 2024 8:30 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) has had a solid floor this season. However, there is not much ceiling with this player. That is unlikely to change in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Fant's one saving grace is that he receives decent target volume relative to the Seahawks' passing game volume. He received seven targets in Week 15 and four in the two games before that. Unfortunately, that volume does not translate to yards. Fant has only exceeded 26 yards on three occasions this season. With the Seahawks passing less and less this season and not throwing many touchdowns, Fant has fallen into fantasy-irrelevance. He is better left to the waiver wire while you pursue a win in the fantasy football playoffs this week.
Dec 20, 2024 7:30 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Fant was a limited participant to open the week. Possibly, the Seahawks were just being cautious with the veteran tight end to begin the week. Another full practice session should get Fant cleared ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Fant has struggled since returning to the field in Week 13. He has three straight games with 26 receiving yards or less, which makes him a low-end TE2 for Week 16.
Dec 19, 2024 9:30 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was limited during practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed three games earlier this season, but other than that, he's been mostly healthy. Any sort of appearance on the injury report is concerning, but the good news for Fant is that he did manage to practice in some capacity. We'd be much more concerned if Fant had not practiced at all. Wednesday's limited practice suggests that he'll be able to play in Week 16, barring some sort of setback. He ranks as a low-end fantasy TE2 ahead of next week's clash with the Minnesota Vikings.
Dec 19, 2024 12:24 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant caught three passes for 15 yards in Week 15. The Seahawks could not get much going against a relentless Green Bay Packers defense. Fant has not been much of a fantasy-relevant player all season and his performance was on par with most of his performances this year. With quarterback Geno Smith (knee) going down due to injury, Fant's production could continue to fall. Quarterback Sam Howell did not fare well in Smith's stead. He only completed 5/14 passes. With fantasy managers squarely in the fantasy playoffs, Fant is not someone anyone should be looking at to fill their tight end slot. He has only recorded 329 receiving yards and no touchdowns in ten games this season. Leave Fant to waivers.
Dec 16, 2024 3:57 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant is not in a position to help your team in Week 15. The Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. While the Packers are No. 25 against opposing tight ends in fantasy, Fant does not see consistent enough volume to merit serious fantasy consideration. With no bye weeks left this season, there are plenty of tight ends that should be able to at least deliver Fant's typical six fantasy points. Fant is important as a chain mover for Seattle's offense. However, that success does not translate to fantasy football. Although he did miss three games this season, Fant is still the TE31. That is not a number that inspires much confidence for a position where you only start one player. Leave Fant to waivers and look for more upside in your tight end spot this week.
Dec 14, 2024 6:10 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant caught three of four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals. This was Fant's third game in a row with exactly four targets and three catches, but it was his lowest yardage output during that span. The 27-year-old played a modest 59 percent snap share, which led the Seahawks' tight end position but still doesn't inspire much confidence about his ability to get consistent, meaningful looks going forward. As Fant continues to lose some opportunities to A.J. Barner, he ranks outside the top 24 fantasy tight ends.
Dec 9, 2024 10:22 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) has a chance for solid volume in Week 14. Upon his return from injury, Fant stepped right back into the starting role and earned four targets. He only gained 26 yards on three receptions, but his involvement was notable. Fant had begun to emerge prior to his injury. He had recorded two games with at least 63 receiving yards. He will likely record somewhere between his usual five and eight fantasy points this week when Seattle plays the Arizona Cardinals. That is a wide range of outcomes making him a dart throw in deep leagues and likely off the radar in normal 10- to 12-team leagues. Additionally, it remains to be seen how the emergence of rookie tight end AJ Barner will affect Fant's outlook moving forward as he gets healthier. Barner scored the Seahawks' only receiving touchdown in Week 13 and flashed solid talent while filling in as the starter.
Dec 6, 2024 4:14 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant finished Week 13 against the New York Jets tied for second in targets on the team with four. Fant ultimately caught three passes for 26 yards. He was narrowly missed by quarterback Geno Smith for a goal line touchdown in the third quarter. Fant had missed the last month with a groin injury so his involvement in the offense in his first game back was notable. Ironically, backup tight end AJ Barner caught the team's lone passing touchdown. Fant has not been integral to the Seahawks' game plan all season but with wide receiver Tyler Lockett phasing out of the game plan, Fant has a chance to ascend slightly down the stretch. Prior to his injury, he had enjoyed a couple of solid games after all. Look for Fant to build on his momentum in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Dec 1, 2024 7:36 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) will be back in the Seahawks' lineup in Week 13. Fant was almost good to go in Week 12 but was ultimately made inactive. Fant will play in his first game since Week 8. Fant's return will relegate tight end AJ Barner to a backup role once again and give Seattle another weapon in the passing game. Fant had not been much of a fantasy contributor prior to his injury, and he will now be matched up against the No. 5 defense against opposing tight ends in fantasy when the Seahawks visit the New York Jets this week. With DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) banged up, Fant's return could not have come sooner. However, with both players good to go in Week 13, Fant is unlikely to be a very good fantasy option coming off a multiple-week injury.
Nov 29, 2024 8:53 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) was listed as a full participant in the first practice of Week 13 on Wednesday. Fant also practiced in full last Friday but was ultimately held out of the Week 12 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. He's missed the last three games due to a groin injury that he suffered the day before Halloween, but two straight full practices suggests that he'll be able to return this weekend as the team faces the New York Jets on the road on Sunday. The 27-year-old figures to return to TE1 duties for the Seahawks when he's back, pushing rookie AJ Barner back to a backup role. Before his injury, Fant had caught 27 of his 32 targets for only 285 yards and no touchdowns in eight games. That hasn't made him very attractive in fantasy, but Fant could immediately jump into a bigger role this Sunday if receivers DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) cannot play.
Nov 27, 2024 7:57 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable, and while it seemed like there was a chance he'd play, the Seahawks will ultimately hold him out for at least one more game. A.J. Barner will operate as the Seahawks' top tight end in Fant's absence. Barner is averaging 5.5 targets, three catches, and 21 yards per game when filling in for Fant.
Nov 24, 2024 3:12 PM EST
The Seattle Seahawks believe "it'll be close" for tight end Noah Fant (groin, oblique) to play in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable, and although he's making progress, the fantasy managers could be forced to pivot to a different fantasy starter currently on their bench. If Fant misses another game, A.J. Barner will step up as Seattle's top tight end.
Nov 24, 2024 8:20 AM EST
According to Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, tight end Noah Fant (groin) is "trending well" regarding his potential availability for the Week 12 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old, who missed the Seahawks' last two games, didn't practice on Friday. But he logged a limited session on Thursday before participating in full on Friday. For now, he's questionable, although the team will update his status on Saturday. Fant has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, amassing only 27 catches for 285 yards. He also hasn't found the end zone. If he plays, he's not a logical option for fantasy managers. But if Fant remains out on Sunday, AJ Barner would presumably take his spot in the lineup. However, the rookie isn't a much safer fantasy option.
