Saints' Noah Fant: Only one catch in return
Fant brought in his lone target for seven yards during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Fant played 30 of 45 offensive snaps Sunday in his return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury, which was one more than fellow tight end Juwan Johnson. Fant saw only one target from Tyler Shough, although the Saints' offense struggled as a whole against the Vikings' =defense under coordinator Brian Flores, with Shough averaging only 3.8 yards per pass attempt while tossing two interceptions. Fant has a 9-73-3 receiving line on 13 targets through four games heading into Week 7 against the Giants, whose defense has given up 33 catches to opposing tight ends this season, which is tied for fifth-most in the NFL.

Saints' Noah Fant: Cleared to play vs. Minnesota
Fant (abdomen) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Fant opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday, which was enough for him to shed an injury tag and return from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury. He has an 8-66-3 receiving line (on 12 targets) through three regular-season games while operating as the Saints' TE2 behind Juwan Johnson.

Saints' Noah Fant: Limited again Thursday
Fant (abdomen) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
After sitting out Monday's loss to Atlanta, Fant has had his reps capped for the Saints' first two Week 5 practices while he continues to manage the abdominal injury. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. When available this season, Fant has been productive as the Saints' No. 2 tight end behind Juwan Johnson, registering eight receptions for 66 yards and three touchdowns on 12 targets over three appearances.

Saints' Noah Fant: Limited Wednesday
Fant (abdomen) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Fant missed Monday night's loss to the Falcons, but his limited start to the week would seem to give the veteran tight end a good shot to return to the field for Week 5 against the Vikings. He's turned 12 targets into eight catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns this season as one of Tyler Shough's favorite targets near the end zone.

Saints' Noah Fant: Inactive in Week 4
Fant (abdomen) is listed as inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons.
Despite being a limited practice participant during Week 4 prep, Fant will miss his first contest of the campaign due to an abdominal injury. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch thus will serve as the reserve tight ends behind starter Juwan Johnson on Monday. Fant's next chance to play is this coming Sunday versus the Vikings.

Saints' Noah Fant: Questionable for MNF
Fant (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Fant's practice participation was limited all week due to an abdominal injury that he likely picked up in Week 3 against the Raiders. With the questionable tag, the veteran tight end's status for Monday may not be known until the Saints announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch would see more rotational snaps at tight end behind Juwan Johnson if Fant is not cleared to play against Atlanta.

Saints' Noah Fant: Another limited session
Fant (abdomen) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Fant maintained his activity level for a second session in a row, giving him just one more chance to get back to full this week. Saturday's injury report will reveal if he's in danger of missing Monday's game against the Falcons due to his abdominal issue.

Saints' Noah Fant: Dealing with abdominal issue
Fant was limited in practice Thursday due to an abdominal injury.
Fant has taken full advantage of his 12 targets through three games this season, turning them into eight catches for 66 yards and three touchdowns. Now, a health concern is impacting him at the start of Week 4 prep, so his status bears watching as the Saints ramp up for Monday's matchup with the Falcons.

Saints' Noah Fant: Two touchdowns in loss
Fant caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Las Vegas.
Fant made the most of his opportunities, connecting with quarterback Tyler Shough for a three-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a 16-yard score in the third quarter. The tight end is the No. 2 option behind Juwan Johnson at his position, but Fant has still caught eight of 12 targets for 66 yards and three scores over the first three games this year.

Saints' Noah Fant: Scores in Week 1 loss
Fant caught four of his eight targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions.
Tyler Shough enjoyed targeting tight ends in Sunday's shootout, with the duo of Fant and Juwan Johnson totalling 87 yards and two touchdowns between them. If Shough's favoritism for the bigger-bodied targets with a higher catch radius continues, Fant could become a solid option in deeper leagues.

Saints' Noah Fant: Heading to New Orleans
Fant is set to sign a two-year contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Fant is unlikely to have much fantasy value, joining a team that signed Juwan Johnson to a three-year extension last offseason. Johnson figures to get most of the playing time in passing situations, with Fant more of a factor on early downs and in multi-TE sets. Anything more than 2-to-3 targets per game likely would depend on Johnson missing time.

Bengals' Noah Fant: Another lost fumble
Fant caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns, but he coughed up that reception, and that fumble was returned for a touchdown for the third time this season.
Fant's fumble was the perfect cap to a truly disappointing season, one where he caught 34 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The last of those scores came Week 9 against the Bears. He enters the offseason as a free agent after signing a one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Bengals in July.
