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. His role, however, has diminished with the Seahawks using all three of Fant, Pharaoh Brown and AJ Barner at tight end. Fant has just 11 catches for 111 scoreless yards nearly a quarter of the way into the 2024 campaign.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Fant (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, John Boyle of the 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.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Limited again Wednesday
Rotowire
Fant (toe) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Fant has endured a cap on his reps for at least one practice each week this season due to a toe issue, so his listing on the first Week 5 injury report comes as no surprise. He's been able to play through it, but the results (11-111-0 receiving line on 15 targets) have been minimal in an offense that boasts the NFL's leading passer (Geno Smith) through four weeks. In any case, Fant has two more sessions this week to put his injury behind him for Sunday's visit from the Giants.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Two catches in loss
Rotowire
Fant secured both of his targets for 26 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
Fant continued his underwhelming start to the 2024 season, as the veteran has recorded just 11 catches for 111 yards through four weeks. Operating as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end, the 26-year-old has not been a huge part of the offense, instead sharing tight end duties with Pharaoh Brown and AJ Barner, while Seattle's wide receivers and running backs soak up most of the targets from quarterback Geno Smith. Like most other tight ends in fantasy, Fant remains difficult to trust heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Giants.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: All set for Monday
Rotowire
Fant (toe) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
This was the expected outcome, but it's still a positive for the injury-ridden Seahawks. The veteran tight end was a trendy sleeper fantasy option entering the year, but he's tallied just 13 total targets across three games despite a relatively potent Seahawks passing attack. Game script could see Seattle playing catchup Monday, which might afford Fant a few more opportunities.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Fant (toe) was limited in practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Fant has been tending to a toe injury all season, but he's been able to suit up for all three of the Seahawks' games, culminating in a 6-60-0 line on six targets during this past Sunday's win against the Dolphins. Such output easily surpassed the combined three catches (on seven targets) for 25 yards that he had in the first two contests, signaling volatility from week to week for fantasy purposes. In any case, Fant will have two more chances this week to prove his health before Seattle potentially hands him a designation for Monday's visit to the Lions.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Week 4 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Fant had six catches for 60 yards on six targets in Week 3 against Miami, and hopefully this is a performance he can build on heading into a potential shootout in Week 4 at Detroit. I'd be willing to take a chance on Fant in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Catches all targets for 60 yards
Rotowire
Fant (knee) had six receptions on as many targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins.
Fant carried an injury designation for his ailing knee prior to being cleared for Sunday's kickoff. This is a prime example of the need to scour for news leading up to kickoffs on Sundays. Savvy fantasy owners who kept Fant in their lineups were rewarded with a clean fantasy performance from the veteran tight end. Fant remains a steady option heading into a matchup against the Lions next Monday.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Cleared to face Dolphins
Rotowire
Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Fant's good to go, while backup Pharaoh Brown (knee) is listed as questionable. Despite handling at least 75 percent of the snaps on offense in both of Seattle's first two games, Fant has seen minimal involvement in the passing attack, catching just three of seven targets for 25 yards. He'll look to turn his significant playing time into more production Sunday against a Dolphins team that has allowed just 38 yards to tight ends through two games.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Fant (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
For a third week in a row to kick off the season, Fant's toe injury has impacted his on-field work in advance of game day. In both Weeks 1 and 2, though, he entered the weekend without a designation, something that will be clarified, one way or another, when Seattle posts its final practice report of the week Friday ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Dolphins.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Limited to begin Week 3 prep
Rotowire
Fant (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Fant again is kicking off a week of game prep with a capped session due to a toe injury, but he's been able to play through the issue so far, gathering in three of seven targets for 25 yards through two contests. His status will continue to be watched as the Seahawks gear up to face the Dolphins on Sunday.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Catches one pass Sunday
Rotowire
Fant caught one of three targets in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
It was another underwhelming performance by Fant, as he has produced just 25 receiving yards despite Geno Smith throwing for 498 yards through two games. Fant is still playing plenty of snaps, as he handled an 80 percent share in Week 2. However, it appears Fant's role hasn't improved much in the Seahawks' new system.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Logs full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Fant (toe) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
After opening Week 1 prep with a pair of limited practices, Fant avoided a designation entirely for this past Sunday's game versus the Broncos, turning a 75 percent snap share into two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards. He should retain a similar workload this Sunday in New England, but production may be difficult to come by in an receiving corps led by WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Stays limited to start week
Rotowire
Fant (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Fant is beginning this week as he did preparations for Week 1 with a capped session. If he follows a similar path this time around, he'll be limited Thursday and a full participant Friday before going into the weekend without a designation. Fant handled a 75 percent share of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Broncos on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 11 yards.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Totals 11 yards against former team
Rotowire
Fant caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.
While it was a difficult outing for Fant individually, the Seahawks struggled in the air overall, totaling just 171 yards. He's the clear No. 1 tight end, but he's probably fourth in the pecking order when it comes to targets, sitting behind WRs DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Fant will look to bounce back Week 2 against the Patriots.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Good to go for Week 1
Rotowire
Fant (toe) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Fant began the week with back-to-back limited practices, but the toe injury he spent most of August dealing with won't impact his Week 1 availability. With backup tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) ruled out to face Denver, Fant could be in line for slightly more opportunities than usual as Seattle's top TE.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Another limited showing
Rotowire
Fant (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
With back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 1 prep due to a toe injury that has lingered for almost one month, Fant has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game versus the Broncos. Meanwhile, fellow TE Pharaoh Brown (foot) hasn't practiced this week, which has left Brady Russell and AJ Barner as the healthy players at the position on the team's active roster.
Fant has been banged up this preseason, but he is expected to play. He has a revenge game against a Broncos defense that gave up the most points to opposing tight ends last year. He also has a new offensive coordinator who I expect will focus the team's tight end targets more singularly than Shane Waldron did in the past.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: Present for warmups
Rotowire
Fant (foot) was suited up for warmups ahead of Monday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Fant hasn't practiced since Aug. 6 due to a foot injury, and it's unclear if he'll participate in drills Monday as the Seahawks ramp up for a Week 1 matchup with the Broncos. The Seahawks' first practice report of the season will be posted Wednesday in advance of Sunday's game, so how he's listed there may indicate where he's at in his recovery.

Seahawks' Noah Fant: To resume practicing next week
Rotowire
Fant (foot) likely will return to practice next week, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Fant made an early exit from Tuesday's practice session due to a foot injury, which presumably will keep him out for Saturday's preseason game at the Chargers. With Fant sidelined this weekend, Pharaoh Brown, Tyler Mabry and Brady Russell are next up for TE reps in the Seahawks offense.
