Noah Fant News
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.

Theo Johnson News
Sunday, April 26, 1:01 PM
As a second-year player in 2025, New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson trailed only Wan'Dale Robinson in team targets and receptions, but even with Robinson departing in free agency, dynasty managers may have already seen Johnson's ceiling. Tight end Isaiah Likely was one of the team's first free agent acquisitions, reuniting him with new Giants head coach John Harbaugh. Darnell Mooney, who saw 100 targets as recently as 2024, was brought in as the most direct replacement to Robinson, and New York spent a third-round pick on Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields to further bolster the room. The biggest barrier to volume for Johnson and all other Giants pass catchers, though, is the expected return to health of Malik Nabers, who tore his ACL only four weeks into the 2025 season. Nabers set an NFL rookie record with 170 targets in 2024, while his 109 receptions broke a team record, and with him back in the lineup, the quintet of Johnson, Likely, Mooney, Fields, and Darius Slayton could legitimately be working with less than 70% of Jaxson Dart's available targets.
