2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Chiefs selected Gray in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft, hoping to develop him into Travis Kelce's heir at the tight end position. After a quiet first season with only seven grabs for 36 yards and a score, Gray upped his production in his second pro campaign, reeling in 28 passes for 299 yards and a single score. The 24-year-old enters the coming season in a similar situation, still working in a complementary role behind Kelce. In that context, Gray is unlikely to garner much fantasy interest outside of some dynasty formats, but he could move on to the radar should Kelce miss time. Read Past Outlooks

One catch in regular-season finale
TEKansas City Chiefs
January 17, 2023
Gray gathered in their only target for 14 yards during the Week 18 win against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Gray tallied just one catch in each of the final three games of the regular season and no more than three in any single game while reaching pay dirt just once through the air and once on the ground. Gray at least finished 2022 with an offensive snap count percentage (52.7) north of 50 for the first time in his young career and may be aligned as the top in-house option to take over at tight end once Travis Kelce retires. Until then, and assuming the team doesn't upgrade the tight end depth by other means, Gray is largely irrelevant from a fantasy perspective aside from some deep dynasty formats.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Kansas City spent a fifth-round pick on Gray in 2021 with hopes of him potentially developing into a replacement for Travis Kelce down the road. As a rookie, he caught seven of his 10 targets for 36 yards and a TD in 16 games. In the event that starter Travis Kelce misses time for any reason in 2022, it's unclear who would fill in as the team's starting TE, with a time-share approach in which Gray -- a 2021 fifth-rounder -- would likely be a factor, along with Blake Bell and Jody Fortson.
Selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Gray is likely viewed as a developmental player at the tight end position with a pair of veterans in Travis Kelce and Blake Bell slotted ahead of him in the pecking order. Kelce is 31 years old, so it's possible Gray could be a contributor down the road if the Chiefs' star tight end has plans to retire in the coming seasons. Gray's best campaign at Duke came as a junior in 2019, when he racked up 51 catches for 392 yards and three touchdowns on 72 targets. He'll likely need to improve his blocking before being entrusted with regular snaps, though Gray could be a somewhat interesting receiving option should injuries open up opportunities for him in Kansas City's offense.
