Seahawks' Noah Fant: Status after bye in question
Noah 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 Seattle 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.

Noah 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.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Doesn't practice Thursday
Noah Fant (groin) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seattle 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
Noah Fant practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday due to a groin injury, John Boyle of the Seattle 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: Gains 22 yards in defeat
Noah Fant had three receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to Buffalo.Fant finished in a tie for third in terms of targets in a game during which Seattle could do little on offense. The veteran tight end was coming off a pair of 60-plus yard performances, so there is some deep-league value to be had. Fant shouldn't be considered much more than that heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Elevated usage in win
Noah Fant brought in all four targets for 65 yards in the Seattle Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.Fant finished tied for first in receptions and was second in receiving yards on the afternoon for the Seahawks. The veteran tight end was able to set a new season high in yardage in the process and now has three outings of 60-plus yards for the first time since the 2021 season. Fant could be involved at an elevated level again in a Week 8 home matchup against the Bills if DK Metcalf is forced to miss any time with the knee injury that prompted his exit from Sunday's game.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Best outing of season
Noah Fant caught all six of his targets for 63 yards in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers.This was Fant's second game with six receptions and 60-plus yards. In the other four games, the 2019 first-round pick failed to post more than 26 yards. It will be difficult to identify these bigger performances moving forward, but Fant should be a fine fantasy streamer when bye weeks surface.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Good to go against G-Men
Noah Fant (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.Fant has been dealing with the toe issue all season but has yet to miss a game.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Remains limited Thursday
Noah Fant (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.With back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 5 prep, Fant has just one more chance to return to full participation Friday before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Giants. Despite the toe injury following him all season, he's been available for each of the team's four games, but his output (11-111-0 on 15 targets) has been lacking in an offense that features the NFL's leading passer in QB Geno Smith.
