Noah Fant Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) and running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle, quadriceps) are both active for the wild-card game on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. Fant and Dallas were listed as questionable to play, but they'll both be active in a tough matchup against one of the best defenses in the NFL. Fant will be on the cheap side in DFS, but he's touchdown-dependent. In the two previous matchups against San Fran in 2022, he caught seven of his eight targets for 43 yards and one touchdown. Rookie Kenneth Walker III is the unquestioned lead back in Seattle's backfield, so there will be very few snaps and touches available for Dallas on Saturday. He should be avoided in playoff leagues in this one.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was removed from the injury report on Thursday and will play on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. The fourth-year tight end turned in a lackluster year with just one game of more than 50 receiving yards and four touchdowns total. He did score against the 49ers in their last matchup while adding five catches for 32 yards. Having another weapon on the field is better for quarterback Geno Smith, but Fant's likelihood of turning in a good fantasy game is not very high.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after he sat out on Tuesday. Fant has been playing through a knee injury of late and should be fine to play this Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. He finished with two touchdowns in the final four games of the season, including one against the Niners in Week 15. In the first meeting against San Fran in Week 2, Fant caught only two passes for 11 yards. The 25-year-old has been a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer all year for fantasy managers, and that should continue into the postseason. Fant could also continue to lose some valuable targets to fellow tight end Colby Parkinson.
