Heading to New Orleans Fant is set to sign a two-year contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Fant is unlikely to have much fantasy value, joining a team that signed Juwan Johnson to a three-year extension last offseason. Johnson figures to get most of the playing time in passing situations, with Fant more of a factor on early downs and in multi-TE sets. Anything more than 2-3 targets per game likely would depend on Johnson missing time.

Another lost fumble Fant caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns, but fumbled that reception and that fumble was returned for a touchdown for the third time this season.

Impact Fant's fumble was the perfect cap to a truly disappointing season, one where he caught 34 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns. The last of those touchdowns came in Week 9 against the Bears. He enters the offseason as a free agent after signing a one-year, $2.75 million deal with the Bengals.

One target in win over Cardinals Fant was held without a catch on one target in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, while playing 16 offensive snaps.

Impact Fant has been playing through an ankle injury, and he's taken a backseat to Mike Gesicki on passing downs. He hasn't had a multi-catch game since Week 11 against the Steelers.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to roll for Week 17 Fant (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact Fant missed Cincinnati's Week 16 game due to an ankle injury, but he'll return after logging a pair of limited practice sessions to begin the week before being a full participant Friday. He isn't likely to occupy a significant role in the offense, as he's commanded two or fewer targets in four consecutive contests.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable despite full practice Fant (ankle) has been labeled as questionable to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fant hurt his ankle against Baltimore in Week 15 and didn't play last Sunday against Miami. He was deemed limited for the first two practices of this week before logging a full session Friday. Despite the FP, Fant is officially questionable to play Sunday, but he's probably more likely than not to be available.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to open Week 17 prep Fant (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Fant sustained an ankle injury during the Bengals' Week 15 loss to the Ravens. He was unable to play against the Dolphins in Week 16, but his ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Fant would likely avoid an injury tag for Sunday's game against the Cardinals if he were to practice fully by Friday.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 16 Fant (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Fant will sit out due to the ankle injury he sustained in this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson or Cam Grandy could play additional snaps alongside Mike Gesicki due to Fant's absence. Fant's next chance to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited practice Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Fant was unable to practice Wednesday due to the ankle injury he sustained during Cincinnati's loss to the Ravens in Week 15, but he's now making tangible progress in his recovery. Friday's session will represent Fant's last chance to prove he's capable of handling full practice reps ahead of Sunday's matchup against Miami.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Fant (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fant was forced off the field during the second quarter of Cincinnati's loss to the Ravens in Week 15 due to a right ankle issue, and he appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's road matchup against the Dolphins. If Fant isn't able to gain clearance for Week 16, Tanner Hudson will operate as the No. 2 tight end behind Mike Gesicki.

Questionable for second half Fant (ankle) is questionable to return in Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Fant limped off the field in the second quarter of Sunday's matchup versus the Ravens. The 28-year-old has 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns in his previous 12 games this season. If the seventh-year veteran is unable to return, Tanner Hudson will likely take over as the No. 3 tight end for the remainder of the game.

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production against Bills Fant caught one of two targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.

Impact Fant was not a major factor in the Bengals' passing attack Sunday, recording just one grab for the third straight contest. The veteran tight end played 25 of Cincinnati's 60 offensive snaps, behind Drew Sample (27) and tied with Mike Gesicki. It was Gesicki, however, who had the biggest impact of any Bengals tight end, catching all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. With Gesicki operating as the team's top tight end in the passing game, Fant remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal impact again Fant had one catch for three yards on two targets in Thursday night's win over the Ravens.

Impact Fant at least played more snaps, 33 compared to 18 the week before, but wasn't a big part of the passing game. With Mike Gesicki healthy again, Fant's already modest level of production is incredibly unstable.

Volume declines with Gesicki back Fant secured his only target for nine yards during Cincinnati's 26-20 loss to the Patriots in Week 12.

Impact Fant saw his offensive snap share drop to just 27 percent versus New England, a decline in usage that coincides with the return of Mike Gesicki (four catches for 35 yards on six targets) from IR. Now back in a familiar role as the No. 2 tight end in Cincinnati, Fant can safely be dropped in the majority of fantasy formats, even if quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) manages to retake the starting lineup Thursday night versus the Ravens.

Catches five passes in loss Fant caught five of six targets for 36 yards in the Bengals' 34-12 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Fant's six targets were fourth-most on the team, trailing Ja'Marr Chase (10), Tee Higgins and Chase Brown, who each drew eight looks. With Mike Geiscki (pectoral) on injured reserve, Fant has been more of a factor in the passing game since Gesicki went down in Week 6. In the four games since, Fant has secured 14 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets. Fant isn't an exciting fantasy target ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.
