Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant caught three balls for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. That marked his return after missing three games with a back injury.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jets after missing the past three games. Fant has averaged 3.4 catches and 36 yards per game this season. He's not a recommended TE1 play against the Jets' fourth-ranked TE defense.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. That should mean another full-time role for TE A.J. Barner, who’s a viable replacement if you were hoping to use Fant today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says "it'll be close" whether TE Noah Fant (groin) will be able to play against the Cardinals today. He was a full-go in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable. Seattle elevated TE Tyler Mabry from the practice squad on Saturday, suggesting concern about Fant's ability. We won't get Seattle's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET today, making this a situation to avoid in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, though, so he should play. Fant ranks just 28th among TEs in PPR points per game and isn’t a recommended fantasy start against Arizona’s 12th-ranked TE defense.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Rookie TE A.J. Barner replaced Fant as Seattle’s lead TE last time out, posting a 4-27-0 line on seven targets and an 86% route rate. He’d be a desperation season-long play but is a salary-saving option in DFS.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He missed Seattle's last game before the Week 10 bye and isn't looking like a great bet to make it back for this Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. Rookie TE A.J. Barner replaced Fant as the Seahawks' lead TE in Week 10, posting a 4-27-0 line on seven targets and an 86% route rate. He'd be in play as a cheap DFS flier if Fant is out again.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. He appears to have been injured on Wednesday and didn't practice on Thursday or Friday. Fant's absence figures to give rookie A.J. Barner a crack at lead duties on Sunday. He's no more than a DFS tournament flier.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is considered "week to week" with a Grade 1 MCL sprain suffered in the Week 7 win over the Falcons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Seattle gets the Bills and Rams the next two weeks before a Week 10 bye, so it's possible we don't see Metcalf again until Week 11.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant rebounded in the wrong direction Monday night against the Lions. After 6 receptions for 60 yards in the Week 3 win over the Dolphins, he drew just 2 targets in the loss at Detroit. That's especially disappointing when you realize that QB Geno Smith attempted 56 passes on the night. Fellow TEs A.J. Barner and Pharaoh Brown matched Fant's 2 targets, and Barner caught Smith's lone TD pass in the game.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (toe) practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and isn’t listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s opener vs. the Broncos. Fant missed some time in August with this foot injury, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be an issue going forward.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Fant was sidelined for part of August with a previously undisclosed injury, which we now know is to his toe. The limited practice should put him on track to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday, but hopefully you have a more reliable option for your fantasy lineup this week.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury for the past several days and there has been little update to his injury. HC Mike Macdonald said he was optimistic that Fant would be ready for Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, a spot where Fant could be a red zone threat. The Seahawks new passing offense under OC Ryan Grubb could favor Fant at the TE position.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant left the field midway through practice today and did not return. HC Mike Macdonald did not meet with the media after practice, so there has been no official word on his injury.
Former Seahawks QB Brock Huard expects TE Noah Fant to play a bigger pass-catching role this season than he has the past two years in Seattle. The Seahawks re-signed Fant to a two-year, $21 million contract this offseason and let TEs Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson walk in free agency.
The Seahawks are re-signing TE Noah Fant for $21 million over two years, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Your initial reaction might be disappointment for the 26-year-old former first-round pick. But this Seattle team sports a new coaching staff. The Seahawks have also already let TEs Colby Parkinson (to the Rams) and Will Dissly (Chargers) leave in free agency. There's clearly more opportunity available to Fant than he found the past two years. And new OC Ryan Grubb comes from a pass-friendly University of Washington offense. Most importantly for Fant's fantasy outlook: He's extremely cheap in both dynasty value and best ball ADP. So you don't have to risk much to take a shot on a guy with elite athleticism for the position. Fant is certainly worth a dynasty pickup where on the waiver wire and might be available for a low rookie-draft pick in trades. Check our dynasty trade value charts for the values of Fant and others.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is active for tonight's game vs. the Giants. He didn't practice on Saturday but is evidently healthy enough to suit up for this one. Fant is a shaky fantasy option, even in one-game DFS contests.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He wasn't on the injury report on Thursday or Friday but then popped up as a non-participant in Saturday's practice. With the late kickoff, Fant should not be in Week 4 fantasy lineups. TE Will Dissly (shoulder) is also questionable for Monday night, but he seems likely to play after putting in a full practice on Saturday.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf delivered 6 receptions for 112 yards among 8 targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. All three numbers marked season highs for Metcalf, who drew 22.2% of QB Geno Smith's pass attempts. WR Tyler Lockett trailed Metcalf by just one target but managed only 3 receptions for 34 yards. TE Noah Fant ranked second on the team with 4 receptions. Seattle gets a positive matchup with the Giants in Week 4, ahead of a Week 5 bye.
