Nick Vannett
TE - Los Angeles Chargers
2024 Outlook
Chargers TE Nick Vannett is officially inactive for a Week 13 matchup with the Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Vannett will miss his second straight game as he continues to recover from a concussion. Fantasy managers should expect Stone Smartt and Donald Parham to rotate in behind starter Gerald Everett.
Los Angeles Chargers TE Nick Vannett has been ruled out for Week 12 as he continues to work through the league's concussion protocol.
Fantasy Impact
Since signing with the Chargers' active roster, Vannett has found a small role in the offense, playing on a little under 20% of the team's snaps. However, he has not recorded a single standard offensive stat during those three games. With Vannett out, and TE Gerald Everett questionable with a chest injury that kept him out of Week 11, TEs Donald Parham Jr. and Stone Smartt could see increases in usage.
The Texans have signed TE Nick Vannett.
Fantasy Impact
The former third-round pick appeared in six games with the Giants last season, tallying 42 yards on four receptions. With just six touchdowns and 90 receptions in 86 career games, fantasy managers can leave Vannett on the waiver wire.
The Giants signed Nick Vannett to their practice squad on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Giants promoted Lawrence Cager to their active roster with Daniel Bellinger ruled out for Week 12, so this is more than likely just a depth move. Vannett had been cut by the Saints this weekend and had just two catches on the year, so don't expect him to be active on Thanksgiving or to make a fantasy impact this season with New York.
The New Orleans Saints announced Nick Vannett is inactive for the Saints’ Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Fantasy Impact
Vannett doesn’t carry fantasy value himself as a tight end (one reception for five yards in 2023) but he is a key run blocker for the Saints who will also be without Alvin Kamara in Week 4. Vannett’s absence creates a glaring hole in a Saints run game already ravaged by injury. Vannett bring out, along with Jamie’s Winston and Kamara, is just one more reason to avoid the New Orleans’ offense in Week 4 for fantasy purposes outside of fading the field in DFS GPP tournaments.
