News: 17 hours agoFant (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Spin: Reports earlier Sunday indicated Fant's availability would likely come down to pregame warmups, and the veteran tight end evidently wasn't deemed healthy enough to suit up. With Fant missing his third straight game, rookie AJ Barner will once again helm Seattle's tight-end corps, while Fant will aim for a return to action in a Week 13 road matchup against the Jets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Fant was a red zone monster at Iowa, but has failed to fully break out since joining the NFL, never once cracking the top-10 fantasy TEs in his five years as a pro. Coming off of a career-low campaign, it seemed the 26-year-old was destined to land on a new team in free agency. Interestingly, however, the Seahawks opted to sign Fant to a two-year contract while parting ways with Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson. That figures to keep the intrigue surrounding Fant alive for at least one more season. Likely the fourth option in Ryan Grubb's scheme, Fant won't draw enough looks for weekly consideration, though his ever-present potential provides TE2 upside for streaming purposes.
