Noah Fant News
Friday, September 18, 9:06 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant recorded four receptions on eight targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Week 1's loss to the Detroit Lions. Fant was on the field for 41% of the Saints' offensive snaps, but showed good chemistry with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough, reeling in an eight-yard touchdown grab at the end of overtime to give New Orleans a chance to win the game. Shough connected with Fant and fellow tight end Juwan Johnson for a combined 87 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. If Shough continues to target his tight ends at a high rate, Fant could develop some standalone appeal in deeper leagues. With his limited snap share, there are still some concerns, but Fant is worth keeping an eye on or stashing for the time being.

Davis Allen News
Thursday, September 10, 8:21 PM
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen (concussion) was evaluated for a concussion during Thursday's Week 1 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. Allen officially entered concussion protocol and was listed as questionable to return, but he didn't get back into the game. He suffered the injury after taking a brutal hit near the sideline. Upon standing up, Allen appeared disoriented and had trouble staying on his feet. He left the playing field and ended up being carted to the locker room, finishing the game with one catch for 13 yards. Allen led the tight end room in total yards, and Tyler Higbee was the only tight end with multiple catches. (He had two.) The Rams have 11 days until their next game, making it difficult to say whether Allen will clear concussion protocol in time for Week 2. The tight end room should be able to survive his injury with a three-headed unit of Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, and Higbee.
