2022 Fantasy Outlook
Fortson caught five passes for 47 yards and two touchdowns across six games during the 2021 campaign before suffering a season-ending Achilles. Assuming he's past the injury, he'll compete with Noah Gray and Blake Bell for backup slotting behind Kansas City's top tight end Travis Kelce. Read Past Outlooks
Receives tender
Fortson, an exclusive-rights free agent, was tendered by Kansas City on Tuesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
He split his 356 snaps almost equally between offense and special teams last year. As the No. 3 tight end behind Travis Kelce and Noah Gray, there weren't many looks left over for Fortson, resulting in 14 catches on 18 targets over the last two seasons, although he did score four TDs. He should continue to fill a similar role in 2023.
