• Seahawks' Noah Fant: Status after bye in question

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Fant (groin) won't play Sunday against the Rams, and per coach Mike Macdonald, the tight end's status after a Week 10 bye isn't certain, Colin Gunther of the Seahawks' official site reports. In particular, Macdonald said Friday, "It's going to be some time. We don't anticipate him being on IR, but we are unsure of his availability after the bye right now." After injuring his groin at Wednesday's practice, Fant was a non-participant both Thursday and Friday before the Seahawks ruled him out for Week 9 action. In Fant's stead, the trio of AJ Barner, Pharaoh Brown and Brady Russell will man TE for the Seahawks.

• Seahawks' Noah Fant: Out for Week 9

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Fant (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Fant will miss a game for the first time this season right ahead of Seattle's Week 10 bye. His absence leaves more playing time for fellow tight ends AJ Barner, Pharaoh Brown and Brady Russell, with Barner being most likely of the bunch to have significant involvement in the passing game.

• Seahawks' Noah Fant: Doesn't practice Thursday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Fant (groin) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Considering Fant was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, he may have suffered the groin injury in the session that preceded its posting. In any case, his status will be one to monitor Friday to see if he enters the weekend with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams. AJ Barner, Pharaoh Brown and Brady Russell would stand to benefit this weekend if Fant is inhibited or sidelined.

• Seahawks' Noah Fant: Dealing with groin issue

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Fant practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a groin injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Through eight games this season, Fant has surpassed a 50 percent snap share on seven occasions, resulting in a cumulative 27-285-0 receiving line on 32 targets. With receiver DK Metcalf (knee) sitting out Wednesday and wideout Tyler Lockett (oblique) being a limited participant due to a new health concern, three of the Seahawks' top pass catchers are banged up at the moment. Thursday's and Friday's sessions thus will be key to how the team's receiving corps will break down Sunday versus the Rams.

• Seahawks' Noah Fant: Week 9 Waiver Priority List

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We'll see if DK Metcalf (knee) is able to return in Week 9 against the Rams, but if he's out again, then Fant is worth using as a streamer in deeper leagues. The Rams are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Fant has scored at least 10.5 PPR points in two of his past three games. I won't like Fant as much if Metcalf plays, but Fant is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB if Metcalf misses his second game in a row.
