Kansas City Chiefs
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Primarily a blocking tight end, Blanton made it off the practice squad Week 7 but didn't produce any meaningful fantasy production until the playoffs, when he caught a touchdown in the divisional round and snagged all five targets for 57 yards in the NFC Championship Game. Tyler Higbee is coming off an MCL sprain, so Blanton and fellow tight end Brycen Hopkins could be leaned upon more heavily at the start of the season as Higbee works his way into playing shape.

ANALYSIS
