Noah Fant's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, tight end Noah Fant (groin) is "trending well" regarding his potential availability for the Week 12 meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old, who missed the Seahawks' last two games, didn't practice on Friday. But he logged a limited session on Thursday before participating in full on Friday. For now, he's questionable, although the team will update his status on Saturday. Fant has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, amassing only 27 catches for 285 yards. He also hasn't found the end zone. If he plays, he's not a logical option for fantasy managers. But if Fant remains out on Sunday, AJ Barner would presumably take his spot in the lineup. However, the rookie isn't a much safer fantasy option.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out the first session of the week on Wednesday. Fant has missed the team's last two games, with Thursday being his first practice since he hurt his groin on Oct. 30. The 27-year-old isn't in the clear just yet to play in Week 12 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, but his return to the practice field at least gives him a chance. In Fant's absence, rookie AJ Barner has seen a bigger role, which has made him a TE2 sleeper in much deeper fantasy leagues. If Fant is able to do more in practice on Friday and return to play on Sunday, he'd be in play as a TE2 streamer with six teams on bye in Week 12. When healthy, Fant has averaged only 5.3 half-PPR points per game, which ranks 30th among all TEs in football.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) missed another practice on Wednesday as the club begins preparing for their Week 12 tilt against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. In addition, Brady Russell (foot) was a DNP. Fant suffered a groin injury the day before Halloween and missed games in Weeks 9 and 11 (Seattle had a bye in Week 10). Unless the 27-year-old is able to make progress in two practices to close out the week, he figures to be in line to miss a third straight game. If that happens, rookie AJ Barner will represent a low-end TE2 sleeper for the third straight week. The 22-year-old fourth-round selection out of Michigan earlier this year has caught six passes on 11 targets for 42 yards and no touchdowns the last two games with Fant sidelined. Barner's lone TD pass of his rookie season came back in the Week 4 loss to the Detroit Lions.
