Limited to start week
Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant was limited in practice to begin last week before he was cleared to return from a one-game absence for Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. Though he handled a normal workload in Week 7, he turned in a rather modest outing, catching three of seven targets for 38 yards. Assuming he escaped the contest without any setbacks to his ankle, Fant should upgrade to full participation in practice by Thursday or Friday before suiting up this weekend against the Chargers.

Three catches in return from injury
Fant caught three of his seven targets for 38 receiving yards during Sunday's 43-16 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: The second-year tight end returned from a one-game absence and tied Albert Okwuegbunam for the team high in targets, though less than half of Fant's looks went for completions. Despite a quiet day for Fant on Sunday, he has garnered a healthy workload of 6.8 targets per game. Fant has also remained a high-floor option, collecting 4.4 catches and 51.4 receiving yards per game with two total TDs. He heads into a Week 8 matchup against a Chargers defense that entered Sunday allowing the…read more

Practices fully
Fant (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Fant's upgrade from limited to full activity in practice paves the way for him to return from a one-game absence to play Sunday against the Chiefs. Jake Butt (61 percent offensive snap share), Nick Vannett (45 percent) and Albert Okwuegbunam (38 percent) essentially worked in a timeshare at tight end in the Week 6 win over New England, but Fant should dominate the snaps at the position now that he's healthy again.

Begins week with limited practice
Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant was limited all week leading up to the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Patriots, with head coach Vic Fangio suggesting the tight end had a "50-50" chance to play. He was ultimately ruled out, but Fant should have a better chance at playing Sunday versus the Chiefs if he can continue to practice in some fashion Thursday and Friday.

Could return Week 7
Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Fant (ankle) has a "chance" to face the Chiefs on Sunday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant is continuing to work his way back from an ankle sprain sustained Week 4. The second-year tight end was initially deemed to have a "50/50" shot for last Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots, but he was ultimately ruled out before even flying with the team to New England. He'll look to upgrade his level of practice activity leading up to Week 7.

Unable to play Sunday
Fant (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Considering coach Vic Fangio suggested Friday the tight end was "50-50 to go this week," it's perhaps a bit surprising that Fant won't even travel with the team to New England one day later. That being said, the 22-year-old was ruled out prior to Monday's contest before the game was eventually postponed, so this shouldn't come as a major surprise. Jake Butt, Nick Vannett and Albert Okwuegbunam will likely serve as a three-headed attack in replace of Fant this week.

Draws questionable tag
Fant (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio said that Fant "is 50-50 to go this week," so it looks like the second-year tight end's status is still truly up in the air. Fant originally sprained his ankle Week 4 against the Jets but has since gotten the benefit of an unexpected Week 5 bye after Denver's initially scheduled game against the Patriots was postponed. New England once again cancelled practice Friday due to a positive COVID-19 test, so there are numerous factors surrounding Fant's availability for Week 6.

Logs limited workout
Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Prior to the workout, coach Vic Fangio labeled Fant as "50-50" to play Sunday at New England, according to DiLalla. Given that Fant's limited activity in practice matched his listing from Wednesday, it's unlikely the tight end did much to change his questionable status in Fangio's mind. If Fant can put in a full practice Friday, the Broncos would likely have more optimism about his chances of being ready to suit up this weekend without having missed any game action.

Limited in return to practice
Fant (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant wasn't able to practice in any capacity last week, so handling restricted reps Wednesday represents a significant step in the right direction. Coach Vic Fangio initially labeled Fant as week-to-week due to the ankle injury he sustained Oct. 1, so it's possible that the tight end could have to upgrade to full practice by Friday in order to play Sunday against the Patriots.

Fant (ankle) will participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: The extent of Fant's practice activity remains to be seen, but it's encouraging to see him get on the field in some capacity after having been absent all last week. The tight end is working to overcome the ankle sprain in time for Sunday's game in New England.

Unsurprisingly ruled out
Fant (ankle) was ruled out ahead of Monday's contest against the Patriots, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: This comes as little surprise considering Fant has been unable to practice all week. Coach Vic Fangio previously stated the second-year tight end is likely week-to-week after injuring his ankle in last Thursday's win over the Jets, although that timeline wasn't supposed to kickstart until Week 6, when the Broncos take on the Dolphins.

Making progress
Fant (ankle) did not practice Thursday but did get in some work on the side, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Fant isn't expected to face the Patriots in Week 5, but it looks like he's recovering at a good pace after having been force out of last Thursday's win over the Jets due to an ankle sprain. If the second-year tight end indeed sits out versus New England, his next chance to take the field will come Oct. 18 against the Dolphins.

Trending in wrong direction
Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Fant (ankle) is a "longshot" to suit up in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Fangio noted that Fant hasn't yet been officially ruled out for Week 5, but the starting tight end would have to make exceedingly quick progress in practice for any chance at suiting up. Adam Schefter of ESPN previously reported that the second-year tight end will be considered week-to-week going forward. Rookie fourth-round pick Albert Okwuegbunam hasn't yet been active this season, but he could get a shot to make his NFL debut versus the Patriots if Fant is indeed sidelined.

Likely not playing Week 5
Fant is not expected to play next week against the Patriots, but is considered "week-to-week" in subsequent games, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: If there's a bit of a silver lining for Fant it's that he doesn't appear to have suffered a season-ending ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Jets. An elongated absence is hardly a consolation prize considering the Broncos are practically devoid of healthy pass catchers with Courtland Sutton (knee) on IR and Jerry Jeudy banged up entering Thursday's matchup. Albert Okwuegbunam makes for an intriguing speculative add in deep leagues considering his speed (4.49 40-yard dash), but it's…read more

Could miss time
Coach Vic Fangio said Friday that Fant (ankle) doesn't have a season-ending injury, but "there's a chance he will miss some time," Troy Renck of Denver7 reports.
Analysis: Fant was carted off during Thursday's win over the Jets, and the team is running tests to determine how long the second-year tight end will be out. It's a positive sign that he avoided a season-ending injury considering how well he's played this season with a 19-219-2 line through four games. However, the Broncos are already without wideout Courtland Sutton (torn ACL) for the rest of the season and may need to lean on rookies Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler even more moving forward.

Ankle injury downplayed
Fant sustained a "minor" ankle injury during Thursday's win over the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Fant avoiding a serious injury is a piece of much-needed good news for a Denver team that's already lost numerous star players for multiple weeks, and some for the season. The starting tight end was carted off the field in the second half of Thursday's win, and he was quickly ruled out to return after being examined in the locker room. Fant will now get the benefit of an extra three days of rest before the Broncos head to New England in Week 5.

Won't return Thursday
Fant (ankle) is ruled out to return to Thursday's game against the Jets, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Fant was carted off the field in the third quarter and immediately taken to the locker room for examination. In addition to the loss of Fant, Denver's offense is now without all of Drew Lock (shoulder), KJ Hamler (hamstring) and Phillip Lindsay (toe) for the remainder of Thursday's contest, with Courtland Sutton (knee - ACL) also already having been lost for the year. The second-year tight end's first chance to retake the field will come Oct. 11 at New England.

Fant is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant had to be carted off the field in the third quarter after taking a blow to the lower leg. Rookie second-round pick KJ Hamler (hamstring) has also been ruled out to return Thursday, and the Broncos are already without top wideout Courtland Sutton (knee - ACL) for the year. Fant secured five of six targets for 35 yards before exiting Thursday's game.

Top target in loss to Bucs
Fant hauled in five of a team-high 10 targets for 46 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-10 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Though his two-game scoring streak was snapped by the Buccaneers, the second-year tight end tied a career high with his 10 targets. This was certainly not an ideal matchup for Fant, as Tampa Bay entered Sunday holding the longest active streak of games without a TE touchdown allowed (dating back to Week 12 of last year). An upcoming Thursday night matchup against the Jets may help get Fant back in the end zone; New York has already surrendered three receiving TDs to opposing TEs.

Registers another TD
Fant corralled four of five targets for 57 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: The second-year tight end was a handful for the Steelers defense, with three of his receptions going for 14-plus yards on the afternoon. The second of those plays was a 20-yard TD catch from backup QB Jeff Driskel, and Fant immediately followed it up with a catch on the two-point conversion to get Denver within three points of Pittsburgh. After a disappointing conclusion to 2019 in which he only picked up four or more receptions once over his final six appearances, Fant is red hot to kick off…read more

Breaks off long catch, TD Week 1
Fant corralled five of his six targets for 81 receiving yards and a touchdown during Monday's 16-14 loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: The second-year tight end made his touches count against the Titans, collecting 15-plus receiving yards or a touchdown on four of his five receptions. Fant demonstrated big-play ability as a rookie in racking up 14.1 yards per catch, second only to New Orleans' Jared Cook (16.4) among NFL tight ends last year. The key to Fant unlocking a magical fantasy season, however, may come via the touchdown, as he collected just three last year on 66 targets. Week 1's outcome is encouraging in that…read more

Comfortable in new offense
Fant has added muscle and is embracing offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's new offense, which the sophomore tight end describes as more nuanced and able to exploit mismatches, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Much has been made of what new weaponry -- Melvin Gordon, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler -- can do for the Broncos offense and Drew Lock's first full season. But, with a year of development, Fant should have every opportunity to be the second major threat in the passing game behind Courtland Sutton. Fant finished second on the team in receiving yards (562), targets (66) and touchdowns (three) as a rookie. However, he faded down the stretch and -- despite a monster 113-yard performance against…read more

Finishes year with 550 yards
Fant caught 40 of 66 passes for 562 yards and three touchdowns in 2019. He lost 12 yards on three carries and lost a fumble.
Analysis: It was an uneven rookie campaign for the 2019 first-round pick, as he struggled at times to track the deep ball and did not establish himself as a blocker. Still, Fant showed some serious upside as a catch-and-run target with a team-leading up 388 yards after catch. His 14.1 yards per catch this season ranked behind only New Orleans' Jared Cook among tight ends. If Fant is able to be more consistent with fellow now-sophomore quarterback Drew Lock in 2020, his existing big-play ability could…read more

Held to 10 yards
Fant caught both of his targets for a total of 10 yards during Sunday's 27-17 win over Detriot.
Analysis: Both of Fant's catches came within the first 20 minutes of the game. The dinged-up rookie played a relatively low percentage of snaps, 41 of 71, and was unable to get downfield with Detroit playing a lot of deep zone coverages. Fant has been reliant on the deep ball this season, as 52.8 percent of his 373 yards over the past seven games came on just four plays. If he's able to round back into shape in time for the season finale, he couldn't ask for a better matchup. The Raiders have surrendered…read more

Analysis: The rookie tight end managed to log limited practices throughout the week and now will enjoy active status for a favorable matchup.

Week 16 status in question
Fant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Fant missed some time during the Broncos' Week 15 loss at Kansas City with a right shoulder injury. Afterward, X-rays were returned negative, and coach Vic Fangio told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic that Fant "should be fine." Fant maintained limited practices throughout the week, but with a 'questionable' tag for Sunday, his status for Week 16 won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Ideally, Fant would eliminate ambiguity about his status by practicing fully Friday, a development that would likely allow him to enter the weekend without an injury designation.

Fant caught two of three targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss in Kansas City. He injured his right shoulder during the contest, but X-rays were negative and he "should be fine," Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Broncos were completely off-kilter on offense during the first half when, facing fourth and short, Fant blocked the edge and then released upfield for a 43-yard reception to set up Denver's lone score of the game. Fant hasn't always been consistent, but his big-play ability has been undeniable this season. His 15.7 yards per catch ranks best among tight ends in the league.

Fant (foot/hip) is listed as active for Sunday's road game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Fant is out there if you need him this week and as long as he avoids any in-game setbacks, he'll be in a position to continue to make an impact in Denver's passing attack in wintry weather conditions in Week 15.

In the meantime, he's undergone X-rays, which came back negative, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that the rookie tight end's foot injury is minor.

Injury viewed as minor
The foot injury Fant sustained in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Texans is considered minor and isn't expected to cost him any additional game action, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The rookie tight end cleared the century mark in yardage for the second time this season in Sunday's victory, finishing with four grabs for 113 yards and a touchdown on four targets. His foot was stepped on during the contest and resulted in him getting carted off the field, but initial X-rays returned negative.

Analysis: Fant caught a quick 16-yard pass following a Justin Simmons interception to push the Broncos into Bills territory. Brandon Allen sailed a pass six plays later to cough the ball back up. The Broncos weren't much of a threat for the remainder of the game.

The issues came in the red zone, as Allen threw behind Fant for a red-zone interception just before halftime and the two were unable to link up on either of Allen's end-zone attempts to Fant on the team's final drive.

Breaks out for career-best day
