Noah Fant Profiles as a Dynasty Drop Candidate Entering 2026

Thursday, May 28, 12:59 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant is coming off one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 34 receptions for 288 yards and three touchdowns on 41 targets across 15 games for the Cincinnati Bengals. While Fant's production was enough to land him a two-year, $8.75 million contract from the Saints, just $4.5 million of Fant's money is guaranteed. His playing time outlook in New Orleans is also highly uncertain, as Saints TE1 Juwan Johnson is coming off a breakout season and the team used a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on University of Georgia tight end Oscar Delp. As he enters his eighth year in the NFL, Fant has now failed to record more than 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in a season since 2021. Dynasty managers should feel comfortable dropping Fant as he enters his age-29 campaign.

Harold Fannin Jr. Continues to Miss Offseason Workouts

Tuesday, June 9, 10:41 AM

The Athletics Zac Jackson reports that Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (undisclosed) is absent from the team's minicamp practices this week and hasn't been seen at all this spring. The Browns haven't specified the reason for Fannin's absence, but he was dealing with a groin injury at the tail end of his first year in the NFL in 2025. It doesn't sound like the 21-year-old's injury issue is all that serious, but Fannin's status is certainly worth keeping a close eye on as Cleveland enters training camp at the end of July. The former third-rounder (67th overall pick) last year out of Bowling Green led the Browns in receiving with 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns on 107 targets in 16 games played in his first year in the NFL. Although Cleveland's quarterback situation still isn't exactly ideal, Fannin's pass-catching prowess has boosted him into low-end TE1 consideration as he heads into his sophomore season. He should once again be one of the focal points in the passing game for the Browns in 2026 as long as he's healthy.
