Noah Fant led all qualified tight ends in catch rate last season at 82.9 percent, and he managed it while averaging 8.5 yards per reception, a bottom-ten-percent figure at the position. Those two numbers together describe the role: short, easy targets that pad the reception column without moving the yardage one. He also lost three fumbles, most among tight ends, on just 34 catches, and played 38 percent of Cincinnati's snaps. The move to New Orleans doesn't obviously improve anything, since the Saints carry the league's 23rd-ranked implied team total and Fant arrives second on the depth chart. His 57.8 points in 2025 ran about ten ahead of what the usage supported, so even the modest scoring line flattered him a bit. A consensus projection of 51 points at TE42 lines up sensibly with pick 369, and there's no angle in the profile that argues the market has this one wrong.
