Seahawks' Noah Fant: Minimal output on seven targets
Noah Fant had three receptions on seven targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to Green Bay.Fant struggled mightily despite seeing a season-best seven targets in Sunday's lopsided loss. Much of the blame can be placed on backup quarterback Sam Howell's poor play (5-14, 24 yards, INT), who was forced into action early in the second half after Geno Smith (knee) was injured. If the former is asked to start in Week 16, Fant's marginal fantasy value may evaporate completely against the Vikings next Sunday.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Gains 18 yards Sunday
Noah Fant had three receptions on four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-18 win over the Cardinals.Fant has grabbed three catches in consecutive games since returning from a layoff due to a groin injury. The veteran tight end has averaged 22.0 yards in those two contests with no touchdowns scored, resulting in mediocre fantasy production. Rookie tight end AJ Barner remained in the mix with a 13-yard reception Sunday, further cutting into Fant's fantasy value. The 27-year-old is only a deep-league option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Three catches in return
Noah Fant caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets.Fant returned to the lineup after a three-game absence due to a groin injury. He was still the clear No. 1 tight end with a 68 percent snap share, but AJ Barner is gaining some ground with a 40 percent share. Fant is still seeking his first touchdown of the season, and he has yet to post more than 65 yards in a game.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Logs full practice Wednesday
Noah Fant (groin) practiced fully Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.Going back to last week, Fant has put together two straight uncapped sessions, indicating he's past the groin injury that has sidelined him for the last three games. Prior to his absence, he regularly paced Seahawks tight ends en route to a 27-285-0 receiving line on 32 targets during the first eight contests of the campaign. Fant likely will settle back into the starting role Sunday at the Jets.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Officially inactive Sunday
Noah Fant (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.Reports earlier Sunday indicated Fant's availability would likely come down to pregame warmups, and the veteran tight end evidently wasn't deemed healthy enough to suit up. With Fant missing his third straight game, rookie AJ Barner will once again helm Seattle's tight-end corps, while Fant will aim for a return to action in a Week 13 road matchup against the Jets.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Looks like close call for Sunday
Noah Fant (groin) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, and a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that it will be a close call as to whether the tight end will be able to play.Fant closed out Week 12 prep with a full practice, and while that's often a positive indicator that a player will suit up on game day, the tight end has missed the Seattle Seahawks' previous two games, which were sandwiched around a Week 10 bye. It's unclear if just one full practice will be enough for Fant to get the green light to play Sunday, and the Seahawks could be preparing for another absence after they elevated another tight end (Tyler Mabry) from the practice squad Saturday. Ultimately, a final word on Fant's status will come 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when Seattle posts its inactive list. AJ Barner would likely serve as the Seahawks' primary option at tight end Sunday if Fant is unable to go.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Questionable but 'trending well'
Head coach Mike Macdonald said Friday that Noah Fant (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, is "trending well," and a decision on his upcoming availability will be made Saturday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.Fant has been sidelined for three weeks and two games due to a groin injury, but after he went from no activity Wednesday to limited participation Thursday and full participation Friday, Macdonald's comments indicate the tight end has a decent chance to return to action this weekend. The Seattle Seahawks have a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, so a good portion of the Week 12 slate will be underway once the team posts its list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the game. AJ Barner would take on most of the tight end reps for Seattle if Fant is inhibited or sidelined.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Questionable to play Week 12
Noah Fant (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Fant missed the past two games, sandwiched around a Week 10 bye, and just returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant. The Seattle Seahawks are giving him at least some chance to play ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with rookie AJ Barner on hand to fill in again if needed. Barner drew 11 targets the past two games while playing 91 and 85 percent of snaps, but the big uptick in opportunities yielded just six catches for 42 yards.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Returns to practice Thursday
Noah Fant (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.This marks Fant's first notable on-field work since Oct. 30 as he recovers from a groin injury that has sidelined him for Seattle's last two games. He may have to log a full practice Friday in order to emerge from Week 12 prep without a designation. In any case, if Fant is inhibited or sidelined Sunday against the Cardinals AJ Barner would be the biggest beneficiary among Seahawks tight ends.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Still not practicing
Noah Fant (groin) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Fant hasn't practiced since Oct. 30 due to a groin injury, resulting in a pair of absences (Weeks 9 and 11) sandwiched around a Week 10 bye. Reserve tight end Brady Russell (foot) also was held out of practice Wednesday, which leaves AJ Barner and Pharaoh Brown (elbow) as the healthy options at the position on the Seattle Seahawks' active roster at the moment. Fant will have two more sessions this week to put himself on a path to return to action Sunday against the Cardinals, but until he steps back on the practice field, his odds to suit up will be slim.
