Obviously Fant isn't the deep threat, take it to the house guy, we have plenty of those. What Fant brings is a very dynamic skill set that enables the Bengals to be both more effective and less predictable by being able to successfully operate from 12 personnel. Fant is quite comfortable lining up in the backfield, as an inline TE, or split out. What he brings might not seem dramatic on the stat sheet for his personal numbers, but if his presence allows for other players to get the big numbers I'd be all for having him around.
