2024 Fantasy Outlook
Lachey began the 2023 campaign off on a hot note, recording 10 grabs for 131 yards through the first two games, but a leg injury suffered early in Week 3 against Western Michigan would cost him the rest of the season. Fortunately, he's back in good health ahead of the 2024 season, and Cade McNamara returns under center after McNamara's season also ended prematurely due to injury. To put it plainly, Iowa's offense can't get any worse under the direction of new offensive coordinator Tim Lester, who inherits an offense that tallied 20 total touchdowns last season over 14 games, averaging out to the worst mark in college football. McNamara and Lachey's return should bolster the passing attack, and the tight end remains a key position in Lester's offense, so Lachey should have big things in store again in 2024.

Solid day in opener
Lachey caught 6 of 8 targets for 63 yards during Saturday's 40-0 win against Illinois State.
ANALYSIS
Death, taxes and Iowa leaning on tight ends. Lachey led the team in receptions and targets on the day as the Iowa offense took off in the second half against Illinois State, though the overall offensive explosion did allow for production from a number of passcatchers. Freshman receiver Reece Vander Zee led the team in receiving yards and found the end zone twice on the day, indicating that Lachey's role as the top option in the offense may not be as locked in as previously thought. The senior tight end will likely still continue to see plenty of opportunities moving forward, with the next opportunity coming against in-state rival Iowa State on Saturday.
