Noah Fant Week 7 Outlook - Seahawks at Cardinals

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 22nd 2020, 9:42am EDT

It seems the Broncos are expecting Fant back this week, though we'll need to pay attention throughout the week to ensure he's on track to suit up. Despite the Broncos passing game not living up to expectations, Fant has played quite well this year. His fantasy finishes are 3, 9, 14, and 14 (left the game early). He's a TE1 in fantasy football with that consistency. The Chiefs have been a mediocre matchup for tight ends, as they've allowed a slightly below average 6.54 yards per target despite playing against Darren Waller, Hunter Henry, and Mark Andrews in three of their games. Waller and Henry were both still able to post respectable numbers and finish inside the top-12 tight ends, though they did both see at least seven targets, a number Fant has failed to reach in 3-of-4 games, and will be coming off a high-ankle sprain (if he plays at all). But again, he's been consistent in fantasy and has at least five targets in each game, so he's still on the TE1 radar, though he's in the lower portion of that conversation with the injury risk.
