Scores in Week 1 loss
Fant caught four of his eight targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions.
Tyler Shough enjoyed targeting tight ends in Sunday's shootout, with the duo of Fant and Juwan Johnson totalling 87 yards and two touchdowns between them. If Shough's favoritism for the bigger-bodied targets with a higher catch radius continues, Fant could become a solid option in deeper leagues.
