BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has a modest Week 1 stat line of three targets, two catches, and 37 yards and has become a possible tight end for fantasy manager radars.
However, this move shouldn't be advised, as Kraft’s fantasy outlook has taken a hit with Packers quarterback Jordan Love's recent MCL injury. With Love potentially missing time or playing at less than 100%, the Packers' passing game could become more inconsistent, further limiting Kraft’s opportunities.
Backup quarterbacks often favor more reliable targets, and Kraft's limited involvement in the offense so far makes him a risky bet for consistent production moving forward. Malik Willis will likely be the starting quarterback for at least Week 2, if not longer.
Still pretty shocked that Tucker Kraft played 95% of snaps while Luke Musgrave was only at 25%
That being said, Kraft is awesome

While Kraft may have some value in deeper leagues where tight-end options are scarce, he shouldn’t be considered a top-15 option. His target volume and role in the offense remain too uncertain for him to be a reliable fantasy asset in standard formats.
Managers in deeper leagues could consider stashing him as a speculative play, but better waiver wire options are likely available that offer more immediate upside.
