Dolphins Hosting Noah Fant on a Visit

Monday, July 28, 12:31 PM

The Miami Dolphins are hosting free-agent tight end Noah Fant on a visit on Monday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Fant is making the rounds after being released by the Seattle Seahawks at the start of training camp, as he's already visited with the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints. He continues to draw significant interest on the open market and should join a new team soon. The Dolphins recently traded Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers and signed Darren Waller after he came out of retirement, but they would certainly like to have more depth behind Waller for the 2025 season. Wherever Fant winds up, he's not going to be immediately plugged in as the no-doubt, top pass-catching option at the position, so he will go undrafted in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old former first-rounder didn't crack 500 yards in any of his three seasons in Seattle.

AJ Barner Scores Fourth Touchdown Of Season

Sunday, January 5, 8:18 PM

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner scored his fourth touchdown of the season in a Week 18 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie out of Michigan has proven to be a solid contributor all season. He will finish the year with 245 yards on 30 receptions in addition to the touchdowns. Barner has a chance to become a more integral part of Seattle's offense in 2025. He has already displayed solid pass-catching chops and solid run after catch ability this season. He also started several games in place of tight end Noah Fant this season. He displayed that he has what it takes to be a potential starting tight end in this league. Barner is worth monitoring throughout the offseason to see what kind of buzz he generates in camp. He is also worth a roster spot in dynasty should he have a full second-year breakout. The future looks like it could be bright for this kid.
