Fant (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card contest at San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant's practice limitations stem back to Week 16 prep as he tends to a knee injury, which didn't allow him to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough. But he managed a limited session Wednesday and now is ready to go for the first round of the postseason. While playing through his current health concern, Fant has recorded a cumulative 8-72-1 line on 10 targets over the last three games while operating behind fellow tight end Colby Parkinson.

Fant (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant has had practice limitations since Week 16 prep due to a knee issue, which kept him out of Tuesday's walkthrough entirely. But his return to drills one day later bodes well ahead of Saturday's wild-card contest at San Francisco. Thursday's injury report may clear up Fant's status, and if it does he'll be destined to team with Colby Parkinson as the Seahawks' top two tight ends this weekend.
Jan 11, 2023 4:47 PM EST
Fant (knee) was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Due to the lingering knee injury, Fant has sat out the first practice of the week ahead of each of the Seahawks' last three games, but he's proceeded to suit up for each contest while producing a collective 8-72-1 receiving line on 10 targets. Assuming he didn't suffer any sort of major setback with the knee during this past Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams, Fant should be good to go for this Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco. If that's the case, Fant would once again be in line to split snaps at tight end with Colby Parkinson.
Jan 10, 2023 6:37 PM EST
Fant caught all four of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win versus the Rams.
Analysis: Fant operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson for a second straight week. He still managed to play 45 offensive snaps (64 percent) and ranked third on the team in targets, but he didn't gain more than eight yards on any of his catches. Fant has the ability to stretch the field with his speed. However, his current usage is concerning for fantasy purposes as the Seahawks head to the playoffs.
Jan 9, 2023 9:35 AM EST
Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday after resting up Wednesday. He's been playing through the knee injury for a few weeks, but it might explain why Colby Parkinson benefitted most after Will Dissly went on IR with his own knee injury last week, while Fant handled his typical snap share (62 percent) and saw only three targets in the 23-6 win over New York last week.
Jan 6, 2023 2:32 PM EST
Fant (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant may be following the same practice regimen as last week, when he was a DNP on Wednesday before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. In that scenario, he didn't carry a designation into this past Sunday's game against the Jets, when he hauled in two of three targets for 40 yards. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Fant is cleared ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Rams.
Jan 5, 2023 5:34 PM EST
Fant (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: For a third week in a row, Fant is operating under practice limitations due to a knee injury. He still suited up for both of the last two games, earning a typical snap share (55 percent Week 16, 63 percent Week 17) on his way to a combined four catches (on six targets) for 52 yards and a touchdown. Fant entered last weekend without a designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, so a repeat of those happenings may befall the tight end this week, too.
Jan 4, 2023 4:41 PM EST
Fant caught two of three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Will Dissly (knee) is on injured reserve, so Fant handled 45 snaps -- his highest mark since Week 8. However, he was surpassed by Colby Parkinson, who logged a season-high 57 snaps (80 percent) and posted five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. This was a surprising shift, as Fant and Dissly had been running ahead of Parkinson all year. Dynasty managers should keep an eye on Fant's role in the must-win matchup versus the Rams in Week 18.
Jan 2, 2023 3:25 PM EST
Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: With fellow tight end Will Dissly (knee) placed on injured reserve this week and WRs Tyler Lockett (hand) and Marquise Goodwin (wrist) both listed as questionable, Fant could be the second or third option for QB Geno Smith this Sunday. The 2019 first-round pick scored touchdowns three of the past four games, but he's reached 50 yards just once all year while sharing snaps/routes with Dissly and Colby Parkinson.
Dec 30, 2022 1:52 PM EST
Fant (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The Seahawks appear to have rested a number of key skill-position players this week, with all of Fant, Tyler Lockett (hand) and Kenneth Walker (ankle) going from DNPs on Wednesday to some activity one day later. Fant himself sat out two sessions last week with his knee issue before getting in one limited practice to cap it, so he seems to be a step ahead this time around. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not the tight end enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
Dec 29, 2022 4:52 PM EST
Fant (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Last week, Fant missed the first two sessions before capping it as limited and entering the weekend with a questionable designation. He ended up starting and leading Seattle tight ends in snap share (55 percent), and while he scored a TD among his two catches, he ranked behind Colby Parkinson in targets, 4-3. With Will Dissly (knee) going on IR on Tuesday, Fant is the likely candidate to handle most of the team's TE reps moving forward, assuming he's able to suit up on game days.
Dec 28, 2022 4:52 PM EST
Fant had two receptions (three targets) for 12 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Fant saved a paltry fantasy day with what amounted to a garbage-time score in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss. It was the veteran tight end's third score over his last four games. Fant doesn't provide a ton of upside when he doesn't score, but his recent run of success makes him worth considering when the Seahawks take on the Jets next Sunday.
Dec 24, 2022 4:27 PM EST
Fant (knee) is active for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Fant managed just one limited practice this week while he battled the knee issue, but head coach Pete Carroll said after Thursday's session that the tight end would be good to go for Saturday. As anticipated, the 25-year-old will indeed suit up for the Week 16 contest, and assuming he avoids any in-game setbacks with the ankle, Fant and fellow tight end Will Dissly could be both in store for larger roles in the Seattle passing game. The Seahawks are without starting receiver Tyler Lockett (finger) this weekend, leaving Fant, Dissly and wideout Marquise Goodwin as candidates to absorb some of the looks that don't go to top target DK Metcalf.
Dec 24, 2022 8:55 AM EST
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday that Fant (knee) is likely to play Saturday at Kansas City, despite being listed as questionable for the contest, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fant takes a designation into the weekend after being listed as a non-participant on practice reports issued Tuesday and Wednesday before upgrading to limited activity Thursday. Assuming Fant is cleared ahead of Saturday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll likely continue to be involved in a three-headed timeshare with Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson, though the Seahawks often deploy two-tight end formations. Fant and Dissly have both played at least 40 percent of the offensive snaps in every game this season.
Dec 23, 2022 8:25 AM EST
Fant (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest at Kansas City, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday before Seattle handed him a designation for Week 16 action, the result of a knee issue. For the season, he's handled at least 50 percent of the snaps in all 14 games, with a modest 42-414-3 line on 53 targets to show for his efforts in his first year with the team. If Saturday reveals Fant to be inactive for the first time on the campaign, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson will handle tight end reps for the Seahawks.
Dec 22, 2022 1:45 PM EST
Fant (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant sat out Tuesday's walthrough and now has gone down as a non-participant for a second straight day. With one session to go in Week 16 prep, his listing Thursday may be telling for his ability to suit up Saturday in Kansas City. If Fant is limited or sidelined this weekend, Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson will serve as the Seahawks' tight ends.
Dec 21, 2022 4:51 PM EST
Fant was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walkthrough due to a knee injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Analysis: Fant presumably picked up the injury in the Seahawks 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night. Tuesday's walkthrough was just an estimate, so more clarity on his status for Saturday's game against the Chiefs will come as the week progresses. Will Dissly would likely slide into the team's No. 1 tight end spot should Fant ultimately end up missing any time.
Dec 20, 2022 4:28 PM EST
Fant brought in five of six targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 21-13 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.
Analysis: The first-year Seahawk atoned for a blank stat sheet in Week 14 against the Panthers by checking in second in receptions and targets on the night. Fant also recorded his third touchdown of the campaign on a 10-yard grab with just under four minutes remaining that made it a one-possession game. The 25-year-old will head into a critical Week 16 road matchup versus the Chiefs a week from Saturday with multiple receptions in six of the last seven games and touchdowns in two of the last three.
Dec 15, 2022 9:14 PM EST
Fant didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Fant caught at least three balls in each of the previous four games, but he disappeared from the target tree while wide receivers DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Marquise Goodwin combined for 25 targets. The 2019 first-round pick should be considered a volatile fantasy option in Week 15 versus the stingy 49ers defense.
Dec 12, 2022 5:21 PM EST
Fant caught four of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: He was on the other end of a four-yard TD toss from Geno Smith early in the second quarter, Fant's second touchdown of the season. The tight end remains a secondary part of the Seahawks' passing game, but he's caught multiple passes in five straight games heading into a Week 14 clash with the Panthers.
