Noah Fant Could Blow Up In Week 9
4 years agoDenver Broncos tight end Noah Fant isn't on the Week 9 injury report against the Falcons and should be 100 percent healthy in an excellent matchup, as Atlanta's defense has allowed the most fantasy points to tight ends this year, including a league-high eight touchdowns to the position. There was some concern that rookie Albert Okwuegbunam was stealing valuable targets from Fant in recent weeks, but that was mainly due to the fact that Fant was working his way back from an ankle injury. The second-year tight end ran 33 routes compared to 12 for Albert O last week, meaning that Fant's role as the top pass-catching tight end on this team should be safe. The 22-year-old is an upside TE1 on Sunday.
