2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fortson finished the 2022 campaign with nine receptions for 108 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games. The 27-year-old is poised to reprise his role as a depth option at tight end and a special teams contributor in his third season with the Chiefs. With that said, Fortson suffered a shoulder injury early in training camp that has sidelined him for multiple practices. The veteran will continue working to recover ahead of the 2023 season.

Inking in Miami
The Dolphins are signing Fortson (shoulder) to a contract Thursday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Fortson spent the entire 2023 season on injured reserve with the Chiefs after undergoing shoulder surgery, but he should be healthy by the time Miami's offseason activities begin. A fifth-year pro capable of contributing as a rotational piece, Fortson will provide depth for the Dolphins behind Durham Smythe and fellow offseason addition Jonnu Smith.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fined for lowering helmet
Fortson was fined $4,383 for lowering his helmet to initiate contact on a fourth-quarter play in Kansas City's 38-35 Super Bowl victory over the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
There was no flag on the play, which didn't have an effect on the game's outcome. Fortson is an exclusive rights free agent, so he'll likely return to the Chiefs in a reserve tight end role in 2023.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Fortson caught five passes for 47 yards and two touchdowns across six games during the 2021 campaign before suffering a season-ending Achilles. Assuming he's past the injury, he'll compete with Noah Gray and Blake Bell for backup slotting behind Kansas City's top tight end Travis Kelce.
