Outlook Noah Fant

A Low-End Depth Option Operating Behind Juwan Johnson in New Orleans

Noah Fant enters the season operating as the primary backup tight end behind Juwan Johnson on the depth chart. After posting a modest 297 receiving yards and three touchdowns in Cincinnati last year, Fant looks to carve out a rotational role in a crowded Saints passing offense that also features weapons like Chris Olave.

Our season projections anticipate a quiet campaign, slating him for 27 receptions, 260 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. His fantasy value remains severely limited given his secondary standing in the tight end room and minimal past involvement in the team's weekly offensive game plan.

Reviewing his draft trend movement, his ADP has plummeted from early summer ranges down into the 700s, reflecting fading interest and his clear backup status. With a meager roster percentage hovering around five percent, fantasy managers can safely ignore him in standard drafts and treat him as a deep-league flier only.
