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

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday in the first practice of the week coming out of the bye. Fant suffered a groin injury in the Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills and did not play in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old most likely would have sat out in Week 10 if the team wasn't on bye, and the fact that he's still not practicing is a bad sign for his availability in this Sunday's divisional contest versus the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Fant to suit up in Week 11. With Fant sidelined in Week 9, tight end AJ Barner had a bigger role on offense and finished with four catches on seven targets for 27 yards. Barner will once again see more snaps if Fant is inactive, but fantasy managers should consider him a highly volatile TE2.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin), who has already been ruled out for this Sunday, could miss additional time beyond the team's Week 10 bye, head coach Mike Macdonald told the media. With that said, Fant is expected to stay on the 53-man roster and will not be placed on injured reserve. The 26-year-old had put together some respectable showings over the last three weeks, averaging 4.3 catches and 49.7 receiving yards per game during that span. In his absence, Seattle will deploy AJ Barner, a rookie from Michigan, as its top tight end.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) will not play in Week 9 according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Fant opened the week as a limited participant but was then downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. This will be the first game of the 2024 campaign the 26-year-old sits out of. Since Week 3, Fant has caught at least three passes in all but one game and averaged 8.3 PPR points during this span. With DK Metcalf (knee) also not suiting up, fantasy managers should expect Tyler Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Jake Bobo to lead an undermanned Seattle passing attack against the Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (groin) was officially listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report. The groin injury is new for the sixth-year tight end, as he presumably sustained it sometime between Sunday and today (Wednesday), though exactly when it occurred is unclear. Fant played his typical snap percentage in the team's 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That he could practice in a limited capacity is good news for his chances of suiting up on Sunday when Seattle hosts the visiting Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old's injury doesn't seem serious; still, it's worth mentioning that fellow TEs AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown have picked up more snaps in recent weeks. If he can't go, the aforementioned duo figures to split work, with a slight advantage to Barner. If Fant can play, he still won't be a recommended fantasy option.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant had a forgettable fantasy outing in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. After back-to-back games with at least 63 receiving yards, Fant only caught three passes for 22 yards. The Seahawks offense severely struggled in the absence of DK Metcalf (knee). Still, the output should not have been as bad as it was and Fant was in a great position to see more targets. Perhaps this offense needs Metcalf in the lineup in order for the other skill-position players to produce in fantasy. No one on the Seahawks had a fantasy day to write home about. Fant has been difficult to assess in 2024. He has scored single-digit fantasy points in five of his eight games. The consistency is nowhere near where you can trust him on a weekly. For now, he is a solid bench stash and a potential matchup play.
