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.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee), who missed all but the opening month of 2024 after having knee surgery for a torn LCL, is expected to be ready for training camp in July, according to head coach Andy Reid. "He's on track to be ready," Reid said. "We'll see. He's working his tail off right now, I know." Before suffering his season-ending knee injury in Week 4, Rice was leading the league in catches through three weeks and was second in receiving yards as quarterback Patrick Mahomes' favorite target. While Rice should continue to be a bit part of KC's passing attack in 2025 if healthy, he'll also be sharing targets with both Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy. The 24-year-old former second-rounder is a physical freak, though, and excels at generating yards after the catch in one of the best offenses in the league. As long as his knee injury doesn't cause him to lose a step, he'll have WR1 upside in fantasy.
