Noah Fant placed on PUP list

Seahawks TE Noah Fant is opening training camp on the PUP list. No word yet on what's keeping him sidelined. He dealt with knee trouble last year but played in all 17 games. We'll update Fant's status when we know more.

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.

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 TE Noah Fant passed his physical and was removed from the PUP list on Sunday. The veteran missed only a few practices with a knee issue. He projects as a low-end fantasy TE2.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll revealed that TE Noah Fant is recovering from knee surgery. No word on when the procedure occurred or what it entailed, but Carroll expects Fant back on the field soon. “He can run full speed," Carroll said. "He can do all the stuff. But we don’t want to push him yet.” Fant opened camp on the PUP list. We'll let you know when he's activated and returns to practice. Fant is coming off a TE17 finish in PPR points and faces additional target competition this year with the arrival of first-round rookie WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
