Tucker Kraft Fantasy Stats

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) said he will "probably come off the PUP here very soon," according to Ryan Wood of the USA Today Sports Network. The Packers placed Kraft on the Physically Unable to Perform list to open training camp as he continues to rehab from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 9 of last season. General manager Brian Gutekunst said on Wednesday that Week 1 of the 2026 regular season is "very much a possibility" for Kraft, especially if he rejoins the team at practice soon. The 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 from South Dakota State was one of the top players at his position before his season-ending knee injury in 2025, and he's poised for a breakout campaign in 2026 once he's back to full speed. Kraft had 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets through only eight games last year. Despite coming off a serious knee injury, RotoBaller has Kraft ranked as its No. 5 fantasy TE as he heads into Year 4. The Packers are going to be cautious with Kraft once he returns to the field, and they could also make him the league's highest-paid tight end before the start of the regular season.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman said on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), who is starting training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, said he expects to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener this fall against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Kraft suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his knee in Week 9 in 2025, and at the time, there was a case to be made that he was a top two or three TE. Schneidman adds that he wouldn't be surprised if Kraft becomes the highest-paid tight end in the league before the start of the 2026 season. While starting camp on the PUP list isn't ideal, the Packers can activate the 25-year-old at any time, and head coach Matt LaFleur said back in May that the hope is to get Kraft back for the early portion of training camp. Fantasy managers hoping to get Kraft at a discount in this year's draft after his knee injury should think again. The former third-rounder from South Dakota State was well on his way to a breakout in 2025, and the momentum hasn't slowed for that breakout to come in 2026 now that he should be a full-go for Week 1.

The Green Bay Packers placed tight ends Tucker Kraft (knee) and Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft will open up the summer on the PUP list after suffering a torn ACL in his knee in Week 9 of last year, but all expectations are that he will be a full-go for the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. The 25-year-old former third-rounder (78th overall) in the 2023 NFL draft from South Dakota State was among the best TEs in the league last year (his third in the league) before his season-ending knee injury, catching 32 of his 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. The year prior, Kraft had a 50-707-7 line in 17 regular-season games for Green Bay. Despite Kraft returning from a major knee injury, RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE, behind only Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colston Loveland, and Tyler Warren. With receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks no longer in town, Kraft has a better path to more volume in the passing game in 2026.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could begin on the Physically Unable to Perform list to open training camp in less than 10 days, according to Jason Wilde of Channel 3000. "The guess here is that he won't set foot on Ray Nitschke Field without a new deal in place," writes Wilde. Kraft is entering the final year of his four-year, $5.54 million rookie contract, and the Packers also hope to get an extension done with him early in camp, according to Jordan Schultz. He's slated to earn a $3.624 million base salary in 2026, which makes him the 36th-highest-paid TE in the league. Kraft will most likely be eased into camp, but all expectations are that he will be a full-go for the Week 1 regular-season opener on Sept. 13 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Before tearing the ACL in his right knee on Nov. 2 against the Carolina Panthers in 2025, Kraft was arguably the best TE in the league, catching 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets in eight games. We'll be tracking Kraft's progress closely this summer, and if fully healthy, he will have a high ceiling as a high-end TE1 in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) wouldn't divulge the plans for his participation early in training camp this summer, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft basically said that we will find out if he's practicing in 10 days when the media shows up to the team's first camp practice. While Kraft might not be a full-go right away at the end of July, the 25-year-old has already said that he expects to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener this fall without any restrictions after recovering from a torn ACL in Week 9 of the 2025 season. Schneidman also said himself that Kraft should be a full-go for Week 1. There's a chance that Kraft could open camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but that shouldn't stop fantasy managers from treating him as a strong TE1 option in upcoming drafts. The former third-rounder in 2023 out of South Dakota State was on his way to a career year in 2025 before suffering his season-ending knee injury, catching 32 passes for 489 yards and six touchdowns in only eight games played. With receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of the picture, Kraft could have an even bigger target share in 2026. RotoBaller has Kraft ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft's (knee) 2025 season came to a premature end when he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9. However, the latest reporting indicates that Kraft is on track to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout campaign before getting injured last year, recording 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games, ranking as the TE4 by per-game PPR scoring. While Kraft may not be the highest-target-volume tight end in the NFL, he averaged a ridiculously efficient 15.3 yards per reception in 2025. If Kraft gets back to full health and continues along the development arc he was on before the injury, he could have TE1 overall upside. With his current injury status, now might be the last buy-low window dynasty managers have on Kraft.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list this summer, but he should be "full-go" by the time the team visits the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 regular-season opener in September, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft was arguably the league's best player at the TE position in 2025 before he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9, as he had 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. The 25-year-old former third-round pick (78th overall) in 2023 out of South Dakota State has looked swift while rehabbing on a side field during offseason workouts, and he said he recently hit 21.5 mph on foot. As long as Kraft doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks during training camp and the preseason, he'll be a popular breakout candidate at the TE position after his strong showing in eight games a year ago. The Packers let receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, so even more targets could be coming Kraft's way in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) said he expects to play in the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September without a pitch count, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. The 25-year-old suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his knee last year and has not been taking part in organized team activities, but he's expected to return to the field for training camp this summer and be ready for the start of the upcoming campaign. How much Kraft can do at camp will ultimately decide whether he's a full-go for Week 1, so we'll keep a close eye on his progress going into late July. The former third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of South Dakota State was well on his way to a breakout in 2025 before injuring his knee, catching 32 of his 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in just eight starts for the Packers. Despite coming off a major knee injury, RotoBaller has Kraft ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE for 2026. He'll be a high-risk/high-reward TE selection, and his cost will continue to rise if he looks good during camp.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he is "hopeful" that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could be back "by training camp or during training camp," per Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Kraft is currently recovering from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 season in Week 9. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout season before the injury, recording 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games played. While Kraft hasn't been the highest-volume target-earner to this point in his career, his career average of 13.7 yards per reception is remarkably efficient for the tight end position. Additionally, Kraft could play an even larger role in the Green Bay offense in 2026 following the team's offseason subtractions of wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Assuming Kraft remains on track in his recovery for the start of the 2026 season, he profiles as a steady fantasy TE1 with upside.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) has emerged as a glaring trade target in dynasty leagues amid his recovery from last season's torn ACL. Kraft is reportedly ahead of schedule, and while it's still too early to tell if he'll be ready for Week 1, the 25-year-old said it's his goal to play in the season opener. Once Kraft gets back to 100% and is healthy enough to play in a game, he should re-establish himself as a top-five tight end in fantasy football. He was the top-scoring tight end in fantasy football from Week 1-8 last year, before he ultimately tore his ACL in Week 9. Because of his youth and productivity, Kraft is a high-end tight end in dynasty rankings, but managers can acquire him at a slight discount because of the injury. We'd encourage managers to send out trade offers now, because his price will go up as he gets closer to making his return. He currently ranks as the TE7 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
