After starting last season on an absolute tear before his season ending injury, Kraft has not started with anywhere near as much production this season. Though he has recently struggled with drops of late, it has not been something he has made a habit of to this point in his career and feel it is just a mental slump than anything.

Kraft's production down from last season but remains dangerous after catch; key outlet for Love.

Kraft started last season on a tear before a season-ending injury, but has not produced at anywhere near that level this season. Despite recent struggles with drops—which the source characterizes as a mental slump rather than a career pattern—Kraft remains a strong ball player who plays the game the right way and is a force after the catch and an underrated blocker. Given Green Bay's poor offensive line, the source expects QB Love to target Kraft early and often as a quick outlet. If Chicago's linebackers and defensive backs can limit his production, particularly after the catch where he is most dangerous, it should help Chicago win; conversely, if Kraft plays his best game in the rivalry, it could be a long day for Chicago's defense.
