2023 Fantasy Outlook
Horsted caught only three passes for 19 yards on four targets in 15 games during his first season with the Raiders last year, but he appears locked into the No. 3 spot on the depth chart at tight end behind Austin Hooper and rookie Michael Mayer after the team released veteran O.J. Howard less than a week into training camp. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Horsted made the most of his 10 targets in 2019, catching eight of them for 87 yards and a score over six games for the Bears, but he was waived right before the 2020 season and didn't play at all last year. He'll return to Chicago on a one-year deal to compete for a roster spot, and he'll likely need the team to suffer a number of injuries at tight end to see significant playing time.
Horsted saw regular playing time down the stretch last year after the Bears suffered injuries to their top-three TEs and over the last four games, he recorded six catches for 65 yards. He'll likely begin the year as the No. 4 TE, and he'll only be a fantasy option should the team suffer injuries again, forcing him back into a prominent role, though it's unlikely he'll be more than a low-upside streaming option.
