Noah Fant

One of the big hangups with Fant coming into draft season was what his consistency was going to be with so many other mouths to feed in this Broncos offense. Now with Jeudy, Patrick, Sutton, Williams, Gordon, and Okwuegbunam all healthy, there are major questions surrounding Fant and what his target share is going to be. While the Chargers matchup is enticing on paper - they've given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing TEs this season - it's important to take notice of who all they've played this year. They've had a slew of tough matchups at the position with very talented players and it's quite shocking that they're only allowing 11.1 fantasy points per game. Fant is a risky play this week due to the possibility that Denver chooses to lean on their run game and we need to downgrade him for it. He can be viewed as a high-end TE2.

Fantasy Impact

Fant has a clear role in the Broncos' offense and is a valuable receiver. The problem is, he hasn't scored in over a month. Fant is currently on the cusp of being a starter for fantasy and unless Teddy Bridgewater's play improves, fantasy managers may be scrambling for other options. Fant faces the Chargers in Week 12 after the bye.
