Tallies first career touchdown Fortson reeled in his two targets for seven yards and a touchdown Sunday versus the Chargers.

He's still behind each of the other three tight ends in terms of snap share and figures to remain that way. However, Fortson's production, when he's called upon, should put him in the good graces of the coaching staff.
