Noah Fant Questionable to Return in Week 15 with Ankle Injury

Sunday, December 14, 2:47 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old did not record a target or reception before exiting the game. Fant entered Week 15 with 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets across 12 games this season. If he is unable to return in Week 15, Bengals tight ends Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, and Tanner Hudson could all see increased playing time. Gesicki has worked as the team's lead receiving tight end in recent weeks, earning 16 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15.

Albert Okwuegbunam Elevated from the Practice Squad

Saturday, October 4, 8:41 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Albert Okwuegbunam was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Colts. Michael Mayer (concussion) has already been ruled out, marking his second-straight absence. In addition, Brock Bowers (knee) is "trending toward not playing." If Bowers ends up missing the Week 4 matchup versus Indianapolis, Ian Thomas and Okwuegbunam could see extra looks from Geno Smith. However, neither player can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint, so managers should look in another direction for Bowers' replacement. The same can be said for rookie Carter Runyon, who hasn't done much this season.
