Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Gay handled a rotational role as a rookie and still put up reasonably good numbers -- 39 tackles (29 solo) and a sack -- but missed the postseason due to an ankle sprain and then a torn meniscus that required surgery. He's reportedly back to 100 percent health and is expected to take over a much larger role during his second NFL campaign following the departure of Damien Wilson during the offseason.
While Gay is somewhat unproven, having played just 31 games at Mississippi State, he possesses a size (6-foot-1, 243) and speed (4.46 40-yard time) that piques the interest of scouts and earned him a second-round selection. Gay is thought to be a candidate for the weakside linebacker, but early reports indicate that he has been working as a backup strongside backer, which could limit his fantasy value in the Chiefs' defense.
