Tucker Kraft Leads Packers In Receptions In Playoff Defeat
Green Bay Packers tight end 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 With Tough Assignment Against Eagles On Wild-Card Weekend
Green Bay Packers tight end 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 Leads Packers In Targets In Packers’ Defeat
Green Bay Packers tight end 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 Off Injury Report, A Volatile Low-End TE1 For Week 18
Green Bay Packers tight end 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.
Tucker Kraft With Two Grabs In Packers' Week 17 Loss
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was solid in his limited opportunity in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Kraft caught 2-of-3 passes from quarterback Jordan Love for 53 receiving yards and had the Packers' longest pass play of the day; a 35-yard strike from Love in the fourth quarter that helped to set up their first of two touchdowns in the final stanza. While the Packers had their most passing attempts since before their Week 10 bye, it wasn't enough for Green Bay to put up any sort of meaningful passing volume outside of Romeo Doubs' team-leading 11 targets. The Packers will host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 finale and Kraft should be considered a streaming option at tight end for fantasy purposes.
Tucker Kraft Off Injury Report, Is A Low-End TE1 In Week 17
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (hip) is off the injury report and is looking to keep up his solid season as the Packers head into Minnesota to face off with the Vikings in Week 17. Following two limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, Kraft was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be active against the Vikings, who have been a middle-of-the-road team this season in defending tight ends. With two straight games under double-digit fantasy points, Kraft, the TE8 in fantasy on the season, looks to get back to being a solid receiving option for quarterback Jordan Love. With receiver Christian Watson (knee) questionable for Week 17, the passing game could condense a bit if Watson is out, so more targets could be available for Kraft. For fantasy purposes, Kraft is a low-end TE1 against the Vikings.
Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave Remain Limited On Thursday
According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Green Bay Packers tight ends Tucker Kraft (hip) and Luke Musgrave (ankle) remained limited during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on their status during Friday's final injury report, as it will likely clarify their availability heading into the weekend. Kraft suffered this hip injury during Monday evening's victory over the New Orleans Saints, but seeing him continue to participate in a limited capacity is a positive sign. Musgrave returned from his ten-game absence on Monday evening and is continuing to have his practice snaps monitored. In his return, Musgrave saw just one target, as Kraft continued to operate as the TE1 in Green Bay. If either tight end cannot suit up, Ben Sims would move up the depth chart but would not be a viable option in the fantasy playoffs. If Kraft can avoid an injury designation, he should be viewed as a low-end TE1 facing the Minnesota Vikings.
Tucker Kraft, Luke Musgrave Both Estimated As Limited Wednesday
Green Bay Packers tight ends Tucker Kraft (hip) and Luke Musgrave (ankle) were both listed as limited participants on Wednesday's practice estimate. The Packers noted that since they didn't practice on Wednesday, their injury report was merely an estimation. In other words, if they had practiced, both Kraft and Musgrave would have been limited. While any sort of appearance on the injury report is newsworthy and should be monitored, players who are limited on Wednesday typically progress to full participants by the end of the week and are able to play on Sunday. We'll gain more insight into the tight ends' statuses over the next two days of practice, but as of now, fantasy managers should expect them to suit up in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. Of the duo, Kraft has the most fantasy appeal, ranking as a fringe top-12 option at the tight end position.
Tucker Kraft Notches 65 Total Yards In Packers’ Week 16 Rout
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was plenty involved in the Packers' victory over the New Orleans Saints by a score of 34-0 in Week 16. Kraft caught three of four targets for 63 yards, highlighted by a 30-yard catch in the second quarter to get the ball deep into Saints' territory, which set up the Packers' third touchdown of evening. Kraft's 63 yards and four targets were second on the team for the evening, and he also chipped in with a direct snap that went for two yards rushing. With Kraft as involved in the offense as he is, he's become a solid low-end TE1 for fantasy managers this season. He'll remain in the starting conversation for Week 17, as well, when the Packers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in a divisional showdown.
Tucker Kraft A Low-End TE1 For Week 16 Against The Saints
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had his worst fantasy performance in the past four games and looks to right the ship against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Kraft has been a solid tight end option for fantasy managers this season but laid an egg last week as he caught both targets for just 34 yards against the Seattle Seahawks. With Romeo Doubs making his return from concussion protocol, the pass-catching group got a bit more crowded with Doubs adding back into a group that features Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. Not only that, but Jordan Love and the Packers have featured the run game more prominently. Kraft is going to have to make his opportunities count when he gets them, but he has an excellent matchup with the Saints on tap as the Saints are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends on the season. Consider Kraft a low-end fantasy TE1 for Week 16.
