Noah Fant Healthy For Week 17

Noah Fant Healthy For Week 17

11 months ago

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) is off the injury report for Week 17. The fifth-year veteran missed the first practice of the week with a knee injury but logged a full session on both Thursday and Friday. Already an afterthought in the Seahawks' passing game, in Week 16 Fant posted a goose egg and watched fellow tight end Colby Parkinson connect with Geno Smith for the go-ahead touchdown with one minute left in the game. He may get a few extra opportunities against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) ailing. Over the last four weeks, the Steelers have allowed four touchdowns to opposing tight ends, though it will be hard to trust that Fant will benefit from the trend based on Seattle's frequent rotation at the position. Championship week is not the time to gamble on Fant, there are better options available should you need a tight end.
