Seahawks Fantasy Football 2023: An Advance Look Ahead With Noah Fant, Plus Early Player Rankings Seahawks fantasy insider Scott Engel looks ahead to the 2023 season and gets Seahawks insights from TE Noah Fant.
JANUARY 26, 2023 • SEAHAWKS.COM
Career-low receiving yards Fant posted 50 catches (63 targets) for 486 yards and four touchdowns through 17 games during the 2022 season.
Impact While Fant tied his career high of four touchdowns, this was his worst season in terms of receiving yards. The fourth-year tight end split snaps with Will Dissly for the first 15 games, but when Dissly went down with a knee injury, Fant didn't take over the No. 1 job. Instead, Colby Parkinson leapfrogged Fant and operated as the clear top tight end. That setup is concerning for Fant heading into 2023, as both Dissly and Parkinson are under contract for at least one more year.

Set to play Saturday Fant (knee) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's wild-card contest at San Francisco, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Fant's practice limitations stem back to Week 16 prep as he tends to a knee injury, which didn't allow him to participate in Tuesday's walkthrough. But he managed limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday and now is ready to go for the first round of the postseason. While playing through his current health concern, Fant has recorded a cumulative 8-72-1 line on 10 targets over the last three games while operating behind fellow tight end Colby Parkinson.
JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to limited practice Fant (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Fant has had practice limitations since Week 16 prep due to a knee issue, which kept him out of Tuesday's walk-through session entirely. His return to drills one day later bodes well for his chances of suiting up in Saturday's wild-card contest at San Francisco. Thursday's injury report may clear up Fant's status, and if it does, he'll be destined to team with Colby Parkinson as one of the Seahawks' top two tight ends this weekend.
JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out wild-card round practice Fant (knee) was listed as a non-participant at Tuesday's walk-through practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Due to the lingering knee injury, Fant has sat out the first practice of the week ahead of each of the Seahawks' last three games, but he's proceeded to suit up for each contest while producing a collective 8-72-1 receiving line on 10 targets. Assuming he didn't suffer any sort of major setback with the knee during this past Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over the Rams, Fant should be good to go for this Saturday's wild-card game in San Francisco. If that's the case, Fant would once again be in line to split snaps at tight end with Colby Parkinson.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Catches four short passes Fant caught all four of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win versus the Rams.
Impact Fant operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Colby Parkinson for a second straight week. He still managed to play 45 offensive snaps (64 percent) and ranked third on the team in targets, but he didn't gain more than eight yards on any of his catches. Fant has the ability to stretch the field with his speed. However, his current usage is concerning for fantasy purposes as the Seahawks head to the playoffs.
JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Fant was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday after resting up Wednesday. He's been playing through the knee injury for a few weeks, but it might explain why Colby Parkinson benefited more after Will Dissly went on injured reserve with his own knee injury last week. In the 23-6 win over the Jets, Fant handled his typical snap share (62 percent) but saw only three targets.
JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Logs limited practice Thursday Fant (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Fant may be following the same practice regimen as last week, when he was a DNP on Wednesday before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. In that scenario, he didn't carry a designation into this past Sunday's game against the Jets, when he hauled in two of three targets for 40 yards. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Fant is cleared ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Rams.
JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out practice Wednesday Fant (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact For a third week in a row, Fant is operating under practice limitations due to a knee injury. He still suited up for both of the last two games, earning a typical snap share (55 percent Week 16, 63 percent Week 17) on his way to a combined four catches (on six targets) for 52 yards and a touchdown. Fant entered last weekend without a designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, and he could do so again this weekend against the Rams if gets in some practice reps Thursday and/or Friday.
JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Targeted three times in win Fant caught two of three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.
Impact Will Dissly (knee) is on injured reserve, so Fant handled 45 snaps -- his highest mark since Week 8. However, he was surpassed by Colby Parkinson, who logged a season-high 57 snaps (80 percent) and posted five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown. This was a surprising shift, as Fant and Dissly had been running ahead of Parkinson all year. Dynasty managers should keep an eye on Fant's role in the must-win matchup versus the Rams in Week 18.

Geno's Pass Is Perfectly Placed For Wide Open Noah Fant Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith's pass is perfectly placed for a wide open TE Noah Fant for a 29-yard gain agains the Jets.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • SEAHAWKS.COM
Cleared for Sunday Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Impact With fellow tight end Will Dissly (knee) placed on injured reserve this week and WRs Tyler Lockett (hand) and Marquise Goodwin (wrist) both listed as questionable, Fant could be the second or third option for QB Geno Smith this Sunday. The 2019 first-round pick scored touchdowns three of the past four games, but he's reached 50 yards just once all year while sharing snaps/routes with Dissly and Colby Parkinson.
DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns as limited Thursday Fant (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The Seahawks appear to have rested a number of key skill-position players this week, with all of Fant, Tyler Lockett (hand) and Kenneth Walker (ankle) going from DNPs on Wednesday to some activity one day later. Fant himself sat out two sessions last week with his knee issue before getting in one limited practice to cap it, so he seems to be a step ahead this time around. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not the tight end enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sits out practice Wednesday Fant (knee) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact Last week, Fant missed the first two sessions with the same issue before returning to the field as a limited participant Thursday and then entering the weekend with a questionable designation. He ended up starting and leading Seattle tight ends in snap share (55 percent) in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, and while he scored a touchdown among his two catches, he ranked behind Colby Parkinson in targets, 4-3. With Will Dissly (knee) going on injured reserve Tuesday, Fant is the top candidate to handle most of the team's reps at tight end moving forward, assuming he's able to suit up on game days.
DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nabs fourth touchdown in defeat Fant had two receptions (three targets) for 12 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-10 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Fant saved a paltry fantasy day with what amounted to a garbage-time score in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss. It was the veteran tight end's third score over his last four games. Fant doesn't provide a ton of upside when he doesn't score, but his recent run of success makes him worth considering when the Seahawks take on the Jets next Sunday.

Geno Smith Finds Noah Fant In Back Of End Zone For TD Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith finds TE Noah Fant in the back of end zone Saturday against the Chiefs.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • SEAHAWKS.COM
Ready to play Saturday Fant (knee) is active for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Fant managed just one limited practice this week while he battled the knee issue, but head coach Pete Carroll said after Thursday's session that the tight end would be good to go for Saturday. As anticipated, the 25-year-old will indeed suit up for the Week 16 contest, and assuming he avoids any in-game setbacks with the ankle, Fant and fellow tight end Will Dissly could be both in store for larger roles in the Seattle passing game. The Seahawks are without starting receiver Tyler Lockett (hand) this weekend, leaving Fant, Dissly and wideout Marquise Goodwin as candidates to absorb some of the looks that don't go to top target DK Metcalf.
