Noah Fant News
Monday, October 5, 3:48 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant (abdomen) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons to close out Week 4 action, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The 28-year-old was limited in practice Thursday through Saturday, but it was not enough to convince the coaching staff that he was ready to play against the Falcons. Fant scored a touchdown in the season opener and caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two more touchdowns in last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. However, in three games played going into Monday's contest, he has only eight receptions on 12 targets for 66 yards through the air as the clear No. 2 tight end in New Orleans behind Juwan Johnson, who has been a target hog in the early going in the Saints' offense. With Fant sidelined on Monday, Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch will battle for scraps at the position behind Johnson. At best, Fant is a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy managers in deeper leagues when he is healthy.

Jake Ferguson News
Friday, October 30, 11:02 PM
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has cooled off massively over the last few weeks after a solid start to the season. He's almost entirely touchdown dependent to have good fantasy football production this season, as he's too far down the list of priority targets in the passing game for Dallas. Competing with wide receivers CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens (shoulder/hamstring), and Ryan Flournoy, as well as running back Javonte Williams for targets simply isn't a recipe for success. The matchup is great in Week 8, though -- the opposing Arizona Cardinals are a bottom-10 fantasy defense against opposing tight ends this season. Ferguson will probably need a touchdown or two to be worth starting in fantasy, but there's a solid chance he could do that against Arizona, who allows 2.4 passing touchdowns per game to opposing teams. That's the fourth-highest of any team this year. Ferguson is a decent option if you don't have a TE to start this week, but there's plenty of risk that he doesn't score.
