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. Read Past Outlooks

Zylstra (knee) re-signed with the Lions on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Zylstra spent the entirety of the 2023 campaign on IR with a knee injury suffered during training camp, but he should be considered healthy with his return to the team. The 27-year-old last suited up in 2022, when he made 11 receptions (on 15 targets) for 60 yards and four touchdowns across 13 contests. He'll likely be competing for a depth role in the Lions' tight end corps in 2024.
