Analyze Noah Fant's matchup for week 10
Noah Fant has scored 3 TDs in his last 4 games with Joe Flacco and faces a Steelers defense that bleeds fantasy points to TEs, making him a high-upside, low-risk streamer for Week 10.
Fant draws a Pittsburgh unit allowing the 4th-most TE receptions and 6th-most TE touchdowns this year. With Cincinnati’s pass-heavy attack (32nd in points allowed, 63% pass rate) and Flacco’s clear trust in the red zone—28 targets, 3 scores in 8 games—Fant projects for 5-7 targets and another end-zone look. The Steelers’ linebackers have struggled against athletic TEs, and Fant’s 23-yard TD last week showed the burst still exists.
25-220-3 on 28 targets since joining the Bengals; touchdowns in three straight and back-to-back double-digit PPR outings.
Bottom line: Fant is a priority waiver add and immediate starter in 12-team leagues and deeper. His usage mirrors that of a low-end TE1, the matchup is a green-light, and the Bengals’ pass-heavy script is locked in. Fire him up with confidence and enjoy the rare combination of high ceiling and virtually zero opportunity cost.
