2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fant had at least 562 yards in each of his first three seasons after Denver drafted him 20th overall in 2019, but he then dropped to career lows for targets (63) and yards (486) in his first year with the Seahawks despite playing all 17 games. Seattle used a rotation at tight end, with Will Dissly and later Colby Parkinson -- both still on the team -- subbing in frequently. Fant played at least half the offensive snaps in every game but exceeded 65 percent only three times. When he was on the field, Fant was the third choice in a top-heavy passing game, behind WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Seattle then drafted WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba 20th overall in April, likely adding another player above Fant in the pecking order. Read Past Outlooks
Staying in Seattle
Fant (hand) agreed to terms on a two-year, $21 million contract with the Seahawks on Monday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fant, a 2019 first-round pick for the Broncos, has accumulated 2,805 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns across his first five seasons. He's coming off a disappointing contract year with Seattle that saw him record 414 yards and no touchdowns on 32 receptions across 17 games. However, the 26-year-old showed enough for the team to continue believing in him as a top option at tight end, which he currently projects to be entering the 2024 campaign due to the departures of both Will Dissly (Chargers) and Colby Parkinson (Rams) in free agency.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good fit for Cincinnati?
Aaron Schatz of ESPN.com believes that the Bengals should target Fant in free agency.
ANALYSIS
Fant hasn't produced as expected given his first-round selection by the Broncos in the 2019 NFL Draft. While his 32 catches for 414 yards in 2023 was the lowest production in his career, Schatz notes that the Iowa product finished ninth last season among qualifying tight ends in receiving DVOA. Adding Fant's 6-foot-4 frame would give Joe Burrow a big target in the red zone to complement Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Fant was traded to Seattle in the offseason deal that sent Russell Wilson to Denver. Also included in the trade was quarterback Drew Lock, from whom Fant caught passes last season in addition to Teddy Bridgewater. Fant finished eighth in catches and 10th in yards among tight ends last year in what was nearly a carbon copy of his 2020 campaign, but with 4.50 speed at 249 pounds, the 24-year-old still has time to grow his skill set. While the familiarity with Lock could have been a positive for Fant if the former had won the quarterback competition with Geno Smith, the 2019 first-round pick out of Iowa once again finds himself in an offense helmed by one of the league's least productive starting quarterbacks. And now he will have to compete for targets with a pair of established wide receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. There should be enough targets left behind Metcalf and Lockett - the Seahawks do not have a proven No. 3 wide receiver - for Fant to replicate last year's numbers, but he might not get many high-quality looks in a Seattle offense with Smith under center Week 1.
