Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that tight end Noah Fant (concussion) will play in Week 5 on Sunday against the visiting Detroit Lions, according to Jay Morrison of BengalsTalk.com. Fant suffered a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and did not get clearance to play in the Monday night loss to his former team, the Denver Broncos, in Week 4. He was able to return to practice this week, though, and he'll be available this weekend as the Bengals look to put an end to their two-game losing streak. Fant had a decent start to the year with 12 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in his first three games, but he lacks any kind of real fantasy upside now that quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is lost for most, if not all, of the 2025 season. Cincy should have a positive game script on Sunday versus Detroit, but Fant is a TE2 option to avoid.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble is currently in line to make another start in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins The Panthers will be without Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) again this weekend, so Tremble will be asked to make another start. Last week, Tremble hauled in five of his eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 25-year-old saw 75 percent of the offensive snaps. This was a nice performance from Tremble, but it's unclear if he can do it again. It's worth noting that wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in the mix after a two-game absence. It's tough to imagine Tremble getting eight targets again, but there should still be TE2 value here.
