Kraft's breakout opportunity arrives against Detroit's tight-end-vulnerable defense.

Kraft is still searching for his 2026 breakout, averaging just 42 yards per game with one touchdown through six games. However, this week's matchup against Detroit could change that. Five different tight ends have recorded 50-plus receiving yards against the Lions, and the position has scored nine touchdowns against them. With Detroit playing the entire season without both starting safeties and Brian Branch making his season debut, Kraft has a real opportunity to snap out of his slump.
