Top Noah Fant News

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Questionable for MNF

    Fant (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Fant's practice participation was limited all week due to an abdominal injury that he likely picked up in Week 3 against the Raiders. With the questionable tag, the veteran tight end's status for Monday may not be known until the Saints announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch would see more rotational snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson if Fant is not cleared to play against Atlanta.

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Another limited session

    Fant (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Fant maintained his activity level for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to get back to full this week. Saturday's injury report will reveal if he's in danger of missing Monday's game against the Falcons due to his abdominal issue.

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Dealing with abdominal issue

    Fant was limited in practice Thursday due to an abdominal injury.

    Fant has taken full advantage of his 12 targets through three games this season, turning them into eight catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns. Now, a health concern is impacting him at the start of Week 4 prep, so his status bears watching as the Saints ramp up for Monday's matchup with the Falcons.

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Two touchdowns in loss

    Fant caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Las Vegas.

    Fant made the most of his opportunities, connecting with quarterback Tyler Shough for a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end is the No. 2 option behind Juwan Johnson at his position, but Fant has still caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and three scores over the first three games this year.

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Scores in Week 1 loss

    Fant caught four of his eight targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions.

    Tyler Shough enjoyed targeting tight ends in Sunday's shootout, with the duo of Fant and Juwan Johnson totalling 87 yards and two touchdowns between them. If Shough's favoritism for the bigger-bodied targets with a higher catch radius continues, Fant could become a solid option in deeper leagues.

  • Saints' Noah Fant: Heading to New Orleans

    Fant is set to sign a two-year contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Fant is unlikely to have much fantasy value, joining a team that signed Juwan Johnson to a three-year extension last offseason. Johnson figures to get most of the playing time in passing situations, with Fant more of a factor on early downs and in multi-TE sets. Anything more than 2-to-3 targets per game likely would depend on Johnson missing time.

  • Bengals' Noah Fant: Another lost fumble

    Fant caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns, but he coughed up that reception, and that fumble was returned for a touchdown for the third time this season.

    Fant's fumble was the perfect cap to a truly disappointing season, one where he caught 34 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The last of those scores came Week 9 against the Bears. He enters the offseason as a free agent after signing a one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Bengals in July.

  • Bengals' Noah Fant: One target in win over Cardinals

    Fant was held without a catch on one target in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, while playing 16 offensive snaps.

    Fant has been playing through an ankle injury, and he's taken a back seat to Mike Gesicki on passing downs. He hasn't had a multi-catch game since Week 11 against the Steelers.

  • Bengals' Noah Fant: Ready to roll for Week 17

    Fant (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Fant missed Cincinnati's Week 16 game due to an ankle injury, but he'll return after logging a pair of limited practice sessions to begin the week before being a full participant Friday. He isn't likely to occupy a significant role in the offense, as he's commanded two or fewer targets in four consecutive contests.

  • Bengals' Noah Fant: Questionable despite full practice

    Fant (ankle) has been labeled as questionable to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Fant hurt his ankle against Baltimore in Week 15 and didn't play last Sunday against Miami. He was deemed limited for the first two practices of this week before logging a full session Friday. Despite the uncapped practice, Fant's status for Week 17 thus is up in the air, but he's probably more likely than not to be available.
