Fant

Fant will play for the first time since Week 8. With zero teams on bye, Fant sits in the TE1/2 range though the Seahawks’ passing-game efficiency keeps a mid-to-high positional finish in his range of outcomes.

That makes two straight full practices for Fant. The former first-round pick has missed all of November while being limited by the groin injury, but it appears likely that Fant will be an option for Geno Smith and the Seahawks’ passing attack against the Jets in Week 13.

Fant has missed multiple weeks due to a groin injury, but could be on his way back this week. He got in a pair of limited practices last week and starts this week out as a full participant. If he is cleared to play, Fant is no more than a back-end TE2 play against the Jets.

Fant continues to miss time due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8. Expect A.J. Barner to be Seattle’s starting tight end. Also out is Laviska Shenault (oblique), likely making Kenny McIntosh the second kick returner for the Seahawks in Week 12.

Fantt is attempting to return from a multi-week groin issue that he suffered in Week 8. He was only able to practice twice this week before being listed as questionable. Even if active, he will likely split reps with rookie A.J. Barner. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for TE2 production in Week 12.

Fant went down with the groin injury in Week 8. He was back at practice on Thursday, but that still gives him a short week to return from a lengthy injury. He appears to be a true game-time call for Week 12. Even if active, fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a tight end streamer this week. Laviska Shenault is the only other Seahawk with a designation this week.

They are Fant’s first practice reps of the month of November after he got hurt in Week 8. Encouraging, though a “limited” tag after that lengthy layoff — including a Wednesday DNP — hardly guarantees the seam stretcher will be back against the 49ers. We would probably consider Week 13 more likely. Even if Fant does suit up, he is no longer in the top 20 mix at tight end.

Fant remains out due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8. He has yet to practice since suffering the injury, leaving rookie AJ Barner as the starting tight end. Fellow TE Brady Russell (foot) was also listed as DNP while TE Pharaoh Brown (elbow) was a full participant. No Seahawks tight end options are appealing at this point of the season.

Fant’s absence gives AJ Barner the start, however, No. 4 wide receiver Jake Bobo will likely earn targets more efficiently than Barner. Joining Fant on the inactives list are TE Brady Russell, OLB Trevis Gipson, G Sataoa Laumea, CB Nehemiah Pritchett, WR Dareke Young and DE Myles Adams.

Fant is still dealing with the groin injury he suffered in Week 8. He did not practice at all this week and could be out for a few more games. AJ Barner will draw the start in his absence. The rookie caught 4-of-7 targets for 29 yards before the Seahawks’ Week 10 bye. He sits in the middle of the TE2 ranks for Week 11.
