Noah Fant (abdomen) was a limited participant at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Fant was limited for another practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from an injury to his abdomen. He seems to be trending towards playing in Week 5, but we won't know his status for sure until after practice on Friday.
Noah Fant (abdomen) was limited at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Saints were without Fant in Week 4, as he was sidelined due to the same abdomen issue that left him limited at practice on Wednesday. He seems to be trending towards playing in Week 5, but we won't get official word until later on in the week.
Noah Fant caught 4-of-4 targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints 35-27 loss against the Raiders on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Fant and Juwan Johnson both hauled in two touchdowns on the day. Despite that, Fant remains off the fantasy radar.
Noah Fant caught four of his eight targets for 33 yards and one touchdown in the Saints' 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Fant saw plenty of involvement in the New Orleans offense, finishing third on the team in targets and receptions in the loss. The tight end will need to offer more impactful output to be trusted, with a Week 2 contest against the Baltimore Ravens up next.
Veteran tight end Noah Fant and the New Orleans Saints have agreed on a two-year deal.
Fantasy Impact
Fant played last season with the Bengals and caught 34 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. He has 334 career receptions in his seven-year NFL career with the Broncos, Seahawks, and Bengals with 18 of his catches going for touchdowns. Fant gives the Saints two - sometimes three if you count uber-utility man Taysom Hill - pass catching tight ends for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough. With Johnson enjoying a breakout season last year, Fant will likely be utilized as a backup and in two tight end sets.
