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.
