Noah Fant Heading To Seattle In Russell Wilson Deal
3 years agoDenver Broncos tight end Noah Fant, quarterback Drew Lock and defensive lineman Shelby Harris -- along with two first-round picks and two second-round picks -- are being shipped to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for quarterback Russell Wilson. Fant, the 20th overall pick by the Broncos in the 2019 draft, teased big-time potential but never could truly find a rhythm in Denver, mainly due to poor quarterback play. That could very well continue in Seattle if Lock becomes the team's starter in 2022. Fant finished with 68 receptions for 670 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games in his final season in Denver in 2021, and he'll remain more of a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 target in his new home. Back in Denver, Albert Okwuegbunam's fantasy value will undoubtedly skyrocket with Wilson now under center.
