No targets in return to action
Zylstra did not garner a target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Zylstra made his return to action after missing 11 contests with a knee injury, immediately taking over as the team's primary tight end, logging 35 offensive snaps to backup Anthony Firkser's 22 snaps on offense. Zylstra will have a chance to be more involved moving forward with Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve, and he'll look to reel in his first pass of the year in Week 16 against Pittsburgh.

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.
