Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Marquise Goodwin

Monday, March 11, 7:53 PM

Free-agent tight end Noah Fant is re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday for two years and $21 million, according to sources. The former first-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Iowa has over 2,800 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in his five NFL seasons with Denver and Seattle. He hasn't been much more than a TE2 in fantasy, though, and he really disappointed last year with a career-low 32 receptions on 43 targets for 414 yards and no touchdowns in 17 starts. The good news is that both Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson are headed elsewhere in free agency, so perhaps the 26-year-old Fant is able to rebound as a more-involved pass-catcher in 2024. Until that happens, though, he should be left on the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (knee) returned to a full practice on Thursday and was removed from the final injury report before Saturday's playoff contest against the Houston Texans. Goodwin was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals but will return and could have an expanded role with rookie Cedric Tillman (concussion) already ruled out. Still, fantasy managers playing DFS during wild-card weekend should avoid Goodwin, as Amari Cooper (heel), Elijah Moore and David Bell will operate in three-wide sets alongside tight end David Njoku. It would be a pretty big surprise if Goodwin did much of note for fantasy managers to get excited about this weekend.
