Detroit will re-sign Zylstra for the 2025 season, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions added Zylstra to the active roster from their practice squad in November of 2024, and over 13 games including the playoffs, he caught his only target for 22 yards. He also contributed on special teams, logging more snaps in that phase than on offense for the first time in his career. Barring injuries, his role on Detroit's offense is likely to be minor in 2025.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Zylstra made headlines late last season after posting a three-touchdown performance in the wake of T.J. Hockenson's trade to Minnesota. However, the Minnesota State product won't have a chance to make any more waves after being sent to injured reserve ahead of the 2023 campaign.
