Noah Fant Injury Update
Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was removed from the injury report on Thursday and will play on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. The fourth-year tight end turned in a lackluster year with just one game of more than 50 receiving yards and four touchdowns total.
He did score against the 49ers in their last matchup while adding five catches for 32 yards. Having another weapon on the field is better for quarterback Geno Smith, but Fant's likelihood of turning in a good fantasy game is not very high.
Kyle Rudolph Injury Update
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph (knee) was a limited participant in practice Friday, so his status is up in the air for the Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.
While Rudolph is far from a great DFS play, he'll inevitably be a consideration as a dirt-cheap tight end to afford other expensive fantasy assets. Sometimes, all you need is a one-catch, one-touchdown performance from your tight end spot if the rest of the lineup has field days.
