2022 Fantasy Outlook
Vannett's first year in New Orleans was disappointing to say the least, as the tight end appeared in just seven games in 2021 and caught just nine of 15 targets for 133 yards and one touchdown. Considered more of a blocking specialist, Vannett will likely find it difficult to see much work in the passing game this season, especially since he finds himself behind Adam Trautman and Taysom Hill on the depth chart, while also battling with the likes of Juwan Johnson and Chris Herndon.

Sees production decline
Vannett played in nine regular-season games between the Saints and the Giants, finishing with four receptions on seven targets for 42 yards and no touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
Vannett began the campaign with New Orleans before latching on with New York's practice squad in late November. He eventually joined the team's active roster but saw limited action behind rookie starter Daniel Bellinger. Vannett's overall catch and yardage totals during the campaign were his lowest since his rookie season in 2016 with Seattle. Bellinger is the Giants' clear tight end of the future, so the team isn't likely to prioritize bringing back Vannett, who will be an unrestricted free agent.

After serving as a blocking specialist with Denver, Vannett seems likely to do the same in New Orleans. While someone will need to step up as a receiver with Michael Thomas recovering from ankle surgery, Adam Trautman seems more likely to be that guy amongst New Orleans' tight ends after putting up prolific numbers in college.
