2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bolton has proven early in his young career to have a nose for the football, registering 112 tackles as a rookie second-rounder in 2021 and following that up with a whopping 180 tackles (108 solo) in 2022, ranking him second in the NFL behind only Foye Oluokun. In terms of IDP producers, the Chiefs' starting middle linebacker should rank among the most sought-after options regardless of position, on the heels of posting 13 games with nine or more tackles last season while adding two sacks and a pair of interceptions.

Ruled out for Sunday
Bolton (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Bolton will miss his second consecutive game as he is still recovering from an ankle injury. With the 23-year-old out again, Jack Cochrane will start at inside linebacker alongside Leo Chenal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Bolton stepped in as a rookie and made his presence felt, racking up a team-high 112 tackles (57 solo) despite starting just 12 of the 16 games he appeared in. While Bolton didn't necessarily excel as a coverage linebacker last season, he was solid as both a run stopper and a pass rusher and should reprise his role on the inside in 2022.
