Fant's 2024 fantasy revival has so far failed to launch with just three receptions for 25 yards through two games. That's despite the fact that Geno Smith dropped back 47 times in Boston. Fant should still end up producing some TE2 days, but it is looking harder than expected behind the elite receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett. Week 3 against the Dolphins does at least profiles a a positive offensive environment.
It means Fant is ready to rock for Sunday against the Patriots. Something of a Week 1 disappointment, Fant is looking like a shaky TE2 for as long as the Seahawks are still feeling out their new Ryan Grubb-coordinated attack.
Fant dealt with the toe injury throughout preseason, but was removed from the injury report heading into Week 1. It seems he is still limited due to the injury and practices later in the week will tell how healthy Fant is for Week 2. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown (foot) was also limited, leaving the Seahawks' tight end room a little shallow to begin the week.

Fant was targeted in the end zone, but Geno Smith was unable to make the connection. The former first-round pick was unable to find much room in the secondary with the Seahawks' passing game performing poorly, particularly in the first half. Fant will be on the TE2 radar for a Week 2 tilt against the Patriots.
