2024 RTSports Outlook
Fortson got the most work of his career last season, finishing with nine receptions for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Fortson is likely third or fourth on the depth chart once again for the Chiefs this year. He has some really top options ahead of him right now.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Fortson has some touchdown potential but you just never know when that score or two will come. He is a stretch for fantasy teams.

The Miami Dolphins signed veteran Jonnu Smith this offseason to provide a receiving threat at tight end, but Jody Fortson Jr. stood out during spring practices. Fortson has a wide catch radius and has flashed the ability to pick up yardage after the catch. The former Kansas City Chiefs tight end has a challenging road to a meaningful workload in 2024 with both Smith and Durham Smythe on the roster, as well as the plethora of pass-catchers in Miami's offense, but the early returns on Fortson say he will be able to contribute when called upon. The 28-year-old spent all of last year on the Chiefs' Injured Reserve after having shoulder surgery, but he's healthy now and is a tight end to watch for now as we approach training camp this summer. The fifth-year pro could become an intriguing waiver-wire pickup this year if one of Smith or Smythe miss time due to injury.
