Fant caught 40 of 66 passes for 562 yards and three touchdowns in 2019. He lost 12 yards on three carries and lost a fumble.
It was an uneven rookie campaign for the 2019 first-round pick, as he struggled at times to track the deep ball and did not establish himself as a blocker. Still, Fant showed some serious upside as a catch-and-run target with a team-leading up 388 yards after catch. His 14.1 yards per catch this season ranked behind only New Orleans' Jared Cook among tight ends. If Fant is able to be more consistent with fellow now-sophomore quarterback Drew Lock in 2020, his existing big-play ability could push him toward being an upper-echelon player at his position.
