Craft TE7; torn ACL/meniscus on PUP list; needs 100% form for upside.

Tucker KraftTE

JJ Zachariason ranks Tucker Craft as TE7 and flags a torn ACL plus minor meniscus tear as a concern. Craft is expected to start on the PUP list. Zachariason worries that Craft won't pull 150 targets in the offense and needs to be at apex form (100%) to maximize his underneath opportunities, making the dual injury a meaningful risk despite not being a massive week-one availability issue. Craft's 4.8 average target depth last year was among the shallowest in the league, and the knee injury compounds concerns about his ability to dominate at the line of scrimmage. Historically, only 2019 George Kittle (6.1 ADOT) achieved a top-three tight end season with average target depth under 6.5 yards, making Craft's 4.8 ADOT unlikely to reach tier-one upside without a significant usage shift downfield.
