Noah Fant Will Be a Beast TE Regardless of The Seahawks QB

Noah Fant came over to Seattle in the blockbuster trade of Russell Wilson.

Some of the biggest strengths of Fant:

6-4, 249 pounds, hard to tackle.
Great with run-blocking.
Tight Ends thrive in Shane Waldron’s offensive schemes.
Great athleticism and pass-catching abilities.

Although Fant played with Lock in Denver and developed some chemistry over there, he will thrive regardless of the QB situation. Geno Smith has proven to get the ball into his playmakers’ hands and things are looking up for the entire Seattle receiving core.

Not only do opposing defenses have to worry about the punishing D.K. Metcalf, the swift Tyler Lockett, but now they have to deal with the big, quick stud in Noah Fant.

Fantasy Football Owners Should Not Sleep on Fant

Noah Fant’s ADP for Tight Ends is #16 and pick #153 overall. There are a ton of great tight ends on the board in 2022, but one that you can’t sleep on is Noah Fant.

You can acquire playmakers with your early-round picks and do your best to snag Fant as one of the later tight-end picks.

He will surely see action in the end zone and reel in some 10 yards+ gainers over the middle with opposing defenses doubling D.K. and keeping someone solid on Lockett.

Noah Fant!

Final Thoughts

While many criticize Seattle for giving up Wilson, they got an amazing Tight End in return to help with the offensive attack.

The Seattle offense is going to look very different this year without Russ under center, but it’ll be interesting to see the direction the organization is headed.

Whether it be Geno or Lock, Fant is ready to have a breakout season.
