4. Noah Fant picks up 100 receiving yards

Broncos tight end Noah Fant has not exactly lit up the stat-sheets this season. On the year, Fant has 42 receptions for 379 yards and three touchdowns to his name. One thing that he has not done this season is record over 100 receiving yards in a single game.

Fant does have a favorable matchup against the Chargers, who have given up big numbers and touchdowns to tight ends this year.

Back in Week 3, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 104 yards. In Week 5, David Njoku of the Cleveland Browns logged seven receptions for 149 yards and one touchdown. Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin scored two touchdowns in Week 10. Then, this past Sunday, Los Angeles gave up receiving touchdowns to both Eric Ebron and Pat Freiermuth.

Given the Chargers’ track record against the opposing tight ends, we say that Fant will log his first 100-receiving yard game of the 2021 campaign.
