Bengals' Noah Fant: Misses practice Wednesday
Noah Fant (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Fant was forced off the field during the second quarter of Cincinnati's loss to the Ravens in Week 15 due to a right ankle issue, and he appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins. If Fant isn't able to gain clearance for Week 16, Tanner Hudson will operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Questionable for second half
Noah Fant (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.Fant limped off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup. The 28-year-old had 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns over his previous 12 games this season. If the seventh-year veteran is unable to return, Tanner Hudson will likely take over as the No. 2 tight end for the remainder of the game.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Minimal production against Bills
Noah Fant caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.Fant was not a major factor in the Cincinnati Bengals' passing attack Sunday, recording just one grab for the third straight contest. The veteran tight end played 25 of Cincinnati's 60 offensive snaps, behind Drew Sample (27) and tied with Mike Gesicki. It was Gesicki, however, who had the biggest impact of any Bengals tight end, catching all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. With Gesicki operating as the team's top tight end in the passing game, Fant remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Minimal impact again
Noah Fant had one catch for three yards on two targets in Thursday night's win over the Ravens.Fant at least played more snaps, 33 compared to 18 the week before, but wasn't a big part of the passing game. With Mike Gesicki healthy again, Fant's already modest level of production is incredibly unstable.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Volume declines with Gesicki back
Noah Fant secured his only target for nine yards during Cincinnati's 26-20 loss to the Patriots in Week 12.Fant saw his offensive snap share drop to just 27 percent versus New England, a decline in usage that coincides with the return of Mike Gesicki (four catches for 35 yards on six targets) from IR. Now back in a familiar role as the No. 2 tight end in Cincinnati, Fant can safely be dropped in the majority of fantasy formats, even if quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) manages to be back in the starting lineup Thursday night versus the Ravens.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Catches five passes in loss
Noah Fant caught five of six targets for 36 yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.Fant's six targets were fourth-most on the team, trailing Ja'Marr Chase (10) , Tee Higgins (eight) and Chase Brown (eight). With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, Fant has been more of a factor in the passing game since Gesicki went down in Week 6. In the four games since, Fant has secured 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets. Fant isn't an exciting fantasy target ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Finds end zone in loss
Noah Fant caught two of three targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears.Fant played 31 of the Cincinnati Bengals' 68 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with fellow tight end Drew Sample. The veteran was targeted three times for the second straight week, and his touchdown marked his third trip to the end zone this season. With wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins commanding most of the target share in Cincinnati's offense, Fant continues to profile as a touchdown-dependent option at the tight end position. The 27-year-old will look to build off his latest performance when the Bengals come out of their Week 10 bye to face the Steelers in Week 11.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Three catches in loss to Jets
Noah Fant caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.Fant tied for second on the team in targets, but 19 of Joe Flacco's 34 passes were directed toward Ja'Marr Chase. Fant has found success since Mike Gesicki (pectoral) went on injured reserve prior to Week 7 against the Steelers, catching all seven of his targets for 85 yards and a touchdown across two subsequent games. Fant will try to surpass 40 receiving yards for a third consecutive game in Week 9 against the Bears.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Scores TD in high-scoring victory
Noah Fant secured all four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals' 33-31 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) hitting injured reserve earlier in the week, Fant stepped into the top tight-end role Thursday night and made good use of the opportunity. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were the focal points of the air attack, but Fant was an effective complementary option while posting a new season high in receiving yards and scoring his second touchdown of the campaign via a five-yard catch on the first play of the fourth quarter. Fant should remain the top pass-catching option at his position while Gesicki is sidelined, and his next opportunity to fill that role comes in a Week 8 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 26.
