Noah Fant

He's going to be a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, as he's got wide receiver burst off the line. He lines up all over the field, though he's not going to be asked to stay in and block very often. Fant can play a possession-receiver type role if a team wants him to, though he's not going to do very much after the catch. The reason a team will draft Fant in the top two rounds is due to the mismatch he creates because linebackers can't hang with him, safeties will have a tough time dealing with his size, and it's nearly impossible to throw a cornerback on a tight end. He's coming into the NFL at a perfect time where tight ends are used as wide receivers. After dominating the Combine, there's a real question about who the first tight end off the board will be.

Fantasy Impact

Fant continues to flash his athleticism while remaining extremely inconsistent. The raw tools are there, but it will take time for Denver's first-round pick to develop and become a fantasy weapon.
