News: 1 hour agoFant (toe) was limited at practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Spin: With back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 1 prep due to a toe injury that has lingered for almost one month, Fant has just one more chance to get back to all activity before the Seahawks potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game versus the Broncos. Meanwhile, fellow TE Pharaoh Brown (foot) hasn't practiced this week, which has left Brady Russell and AJ Barner as the healthy players at the position on the team's active roster.

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.
