With the torn Achilles tendon - who takes his roster spot? Assuming Kelce, Bell and Gray the rest of the way....

A torn Achilles means that Fortson’s season will be over. He’ll finish the year with five receptions for 47 yards and two touchdowns on the season. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes spoke to Fortson after the game, saying he was in “good spirits.”
Gutted for Forton,, honestly thought he looked like a proper TE and probably our TE2 in the making. Was blocking really well and catching everything that came his way. Really hope he comes back [Reply]
I was a Fortson doubter, but this is heartbreaking. The question is.. Should a guy like fountain make the switch? He's clearly just fringe NFL talent as a wideout. [Reply]
Where is Josh Gordon at? Put him at tight end on a few passing downs, he's got the size and lots of speed can out run a line backer I would hope! [Reply]

At 6-1 and 212, that's a stretch. Those guys are usually in the 6-4/5 range and at least 240. Hoping Fortson can come back because he showed real promise. He made a beautiful catch yesterday. [Reply]
It wasn't on a lot of snaps but PFF had him on something like a 78 grade, about the fifth highest on the offensive side for us, I think. I'm keeping everything crossed for him. Aside from the obvious graft and talent he seemed like a really positive influence. [Reply]
