Fant (toe) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fant has endured a cap on his reps for at least one practice each week this season due to a toe issue, so his listing on the first Week 5 injury report comes as no surprise. He's been able to play through it, but the results (11-111-0 on 15 targets) have been minimal in an offense that boasts the NFL's leading passer (Geno Smith) through four weeks. In any case, Fant has two more sessions this week to put his injury behind him for Sunday's visit from the Giants.

Fant secured both of his targets for 26 yards in Monday's 42-29 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Fant continued his underwhelming start to the 2024 season, as the veteran has recorded just 11 catches for 111 yards through four weeks. Operating as the Seahawks' No. 1 tight end, the 26-year-old has not been a huge part of the offense, instead sharing tight end duties with Pharaoh Brown and AJ Barner while Seattle's wide receivers and running backs soak up most of the targets from quarterback Geno Smith. Like most other tight ends in fantasy, Fant remains difficult to trust heading into a Week 5 matchup with the Giants.

Fant (toe) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was the expected outcome, but it's still a positive for the injury-ridden Seahawks. The veteran tight end was a trendy sleeper fantasy option entering the year, but he's tallied just 13 total targets across three games despite a relatively potent Seahawks passing attack. Game script could see Seattle playing catchup Monday, which might afford Fant a few more opportunities.

Fant (toe) remained limited in Friday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The toe injury is nothing new for the veteran tight end, and he's played through it all year to this point. Fant's fantasy stock gets a slight boost this week in what projects as a shootout at Ford Field against the Lions. On the season, Fant has a 9-85-0 line on 13 targets and is coming off a six-catch game in Week 3.

Fant (toe) was limited in practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fant has been tending to a toe injury all season, but he's been able to suit up for all three of the Seahawks' games, culminating in a 6-60-0 line on six targets during this past Sunday's win against the Dolphins. Such output easily surpassed the combined three catches (on seven targets) for 25 yards that he had in the first two contests, signaling volatility from week to week for fantasy purposes. In any case, Fant will have two more chances this week to prove his health before Seattle potentially hands him a designation for Monday's visit to the Lions.

Fant (knee) had six receptions on as many targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Fant carried an injury designation for his ailing knee prior to being cleared for Sunday's kickoff. This is a prime example of the need to scour for news leading up to kickoffs on Sundays. Savvy fantasy owners who kept Fant in their lineups were rewarded with a clean fantasy performance from the veteran tight end. Fant remains a steady option heading into a matchup against the Lions next Monday.

Fant (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fant's good to go, while backup Pharaoh Brown (knee) is listed as questionable. Despite handling at least 75 percent of the snaps on offense in both of Seattle's first two games, Fant has seen minimal involvement in the passing attack, catching just three of seven targets for 25 yards. He'll look to turn his significant playing time into more production Sunday against a Dolphins team that has allowed just 38 yards to tight ends through two games.

Fant (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
For a third week in a row to kick off the season, Fant's toe injury has impacted his on-field work in advance of game day. In both Weeks 1 and 2, though, he entered the weekend without a designation, something that will be clarified, one way or another, when Seattle posts its final practice report of the week Friday ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Dolphins.

Fant (toe) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fant again is kicking off a week of game prep with a capped session due to a toe injury, but he's been able to play through it so far, gathering in three of seven targets for 25 yards through two contests. His status will continue to be watched as the Seahawks gear up to face the Dolphins on Sunday.

Fant caught one of three targets in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
It was another underwhelming performance by Fant, as he has produced just 25 receiving yards despite Geno Smith throwing for 498 yards through two games. Fant is still playing plenty of snaps, as he handled an 80 percent share in Week 2. However, it appears Fant's role hasn't improved much in the Seahawks' new system.
