Noah Fant scores touchdown against Raiders
Broncos fans (and fantasy football players) now just how streaky tight end Noah Fant is for the team. In Week 4, Fant caught 6-of-10 targets for 46 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens. In Week 5, Fant hauled in three receptions for 20 yards on four targets. Furthermore, Fant has scored a touchdown in all even weeks and held without an end zone reception in odd weeks.
Fant is in an even week. He will get a touchdown.
Besides the odd-even week coincidence, he faces a Raiders defense that has surrendered a touchdown to a tight end in the past two weeks (Jared Cook in Week 4, Jesper Horsted in Week 5).
Denver’s wide receivers could be in for a rough day, considering Las Vegas has allowed an average of 217.2 yards per game to pass-catchers, which is the fourth-fewest in the entire NFL. If Teddy Bridgewater and the running game can lead the Broncos in the red zone, you can bank on Fant logging a touchdown reception.
