BALLER MOVE: Start Kraft in just about all formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Despite the Packers drafting another tight end ahead of him in the 2023 NFL Draft (Luke Musgrave), Kraft has completely taken over as the team's lead tight end. The talented pass-catcher from South Dakota State has 18 receptions for 231 yards on the year with three touchdowns.
Before his final season at SDSU, Musgrave had several NIL offers to larger schools like Alabama but stayed home because he was needed on the family farm, which likely caused him to slip in the draft.
Kraft has plenty of competition for targets in a loaded Green Bay offense, but it has also provided plenty of red zone opportunities for him.
Matt LaFleur is so good it's scary.

Kraft's been tearing it up as the TE6 in fantasy, pulling in a cool 13.3% of the team’s targets, cruising at 1.79 yards per route run, and being the first option on 10.9% of the plays. Plus, he’s the go-to guy in the crunch zone, leading the squad with five red zone targets.
But this week might not be his week to shine. He’s up against a Texans' pass defense that’s pretty stingy, ranking fifth in clamping down on yards per reception and giving up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
