George Fant Fantasy

The New York Jets agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with former Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle George Fant on Monday. The deal includes $13.7 million in guarantees. Given the Jets weak offensive line in 2018, Fant will likely be asked to start at either right or left tackle in 2020. The 27-year-old has started just seven of 16 games in each of the last two seasons with Seattle and hasn't been very consistent, which is more bad news for running back Le'Veon Bell's chances at bouncing back next season. Gang Green should be looking to bolster their O-line through the draft in order to keep quarterback Sam Darnold upright.

Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman/tight end George Fant went down with an ankle sprain in Thursday's game that head coach Pete Carroll described as "legit." While that's not a medical definition, it gives nothing but bad feelings about Fant's timetable. Fant is a hybrid player for Seattle, often working as a sixth offensive lineman/blocking tight end, and if he's lost for a significant amount of time, especially if it's the type of sprain that nags and lingers, that could cause some flux in Seattle's roster decisions for the start of the year. More information will come soon, but for now, expect Russell Wilson to be real interested in Fant's condition.

It was a big day for Seattle Seahawks big man George Fant. A backup offensive lineman by trade, Fant has been regularly used as an eligible receiver this season, often running short routes. All those extra sprints finally paid off on Monday night as Fant was rewarded with his first NFL reception. Unfortunately, the catch was quickly followed by a stark reminder that its nerve-wracking having the ball. Fant tried to make a dash to the first-down marker and stumbled and tumbled his way to the ground a couple yards short before he was tagged by a defender. Fant is unlikely to see regular catches, but it was a celebrated moment for the whole team.
