Tucker Kraft had a solid outing during the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Kraft caught all five of his targets from quarterback
Jordan Love and parlayed them into 26 yards receiving. Also displaying some of the versatility from the end of the regular season, Kraft also took two direct snaps for 10 yards rushing. After a rookie season in 2023 that saw Kraft get some time on the field later in the year with an injury to
Luke Musgrave, an early-season injury to Musgrave before Week 1 this season led to Kraft being a major contributor in the Packers offense in his second campaign. Kraft put up 50 receptions for 707 yards and seven touchdowns to finish as a top-10 fantasy tight end. For 2025 fantasy leagues, Kraft should be a starting tight end option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Tucker Kraft has a tall task ahead of him when the Packers head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Wild Card Weekend. Kraft had a solid 2024 season, piling up 707 receiving yards and seven scores while finishing seventh amongst tight ends in both categories. With
Christian Watson (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL, Kraft should find a few more opportunities to catch some passes from
Jordan Love (elbow), who is off the injury report following a Week 18 injury. The Eagles have been tough on opposing tight ends this season as Philadelphia is third in DVOA against tight ends and give up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in the regular season. Despite the tough matchup, Kraft is a decent play in playoff contests and a mid-range play for DFS for this weekend's slate.

Tucker Kraft was targeted consistently by both
Jordan Love and backup
Malik Willis during the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 18. Leading the Packers with seven targets on the afternoon, Kraft reeled in four of those targets for 36 yards as he was a featured part of the Packers' passing game for both Love and Willis. Kraft has been a solid contributor all season and with the downturn in the Packers' passing-game production, that's certainly affected Kraft's upside as a fantasy asset. With the Packers heading to Philadelphia for their Wild Card matchup with the Eagles, Kraft is a solid tight end option for those playing fantasy playoff contests.

Tucker Kraft (non-injury related) put in a full practice after two limited sessions this week and he looks to end his regular season on a high note as the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18. While Kraft was second on the team in receiving yards (53) in Week 17, he only caught 2-of-3 passes. Kraft has been a top-12 tight end in just two of the last seven weeks with just one game where he amassed over five targets. With the Packers utilizing the run much more than the pass since Green Bay's Week 10 bye, it's hampered the Packers' passing game and the pass-catchers' fantasy value with the lack of consistent passing volume. In Week 18 against the Bears, Kraft is a low-end TE1 but with a much lower floor than a typical TE1.
