BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft enjoyed a breakout performance last week and should be started in all standard formats this weekend.
Through the first three weeks of the season, Kraft was deployed as the starting tight end over Luke Musgrave but was not fantasy-relevant as he averaged just 25.7 yards and two receptions in each game.
However, last week against the Minnesota Vikings, Kraft caught a season-high six catches off nine targets. He found the end zone and tallied 53 yards.

In this game, the 23-year-old also ran a season-high 47 targets.
With Christian Watson (ankle) expected to miss Sunday's game and No. 2 tight end Musgrave (ankle) questionable, there could be more targets open for Green Bay pass catchers, which makes Kraft a solid TE1 this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the 23rd-most points to opposing tight ends.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
