TE1 in TE8 usage last year with elite per-route stats: +0.91 EPA per target (led all tight ends) and 11.4 yards per target despite a 4.5-yard average depth of target—a combination the source calls 'completely ludicrous' and 'impossible to repeat.' The source notes such yards-after-catch production typically only comes from 'freakiest tight ends in the NFL.' However, the source is conflicted on Kraft's value because he is a negative regression candidate coming off a torn ACL, though historically 'freak athletes in the prime of their careers' like Malik Nabers have recovered well from ACL injuries. The source concludes: 'I'm very conflicted here what to do with them because I can see this one going either way.'PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026
Craft posted 11 yards per target in 2025, a historically unsustainable mark that only elite tight ends repeat; the source notes this is "completely ludicrous to the point that that's impossible to repeat this year" but acknowledges Craft is among the freakiest tight ends capable of such production. He is the closest comparison to George Kittle in the NFL for his ability to catch short or intermediate passes and turn them into longer gains through elite after-catch ability; defenders cannot tackle him on first contact, which the source calls "one of one stuff in the league." He wins in the Texans offense despite the vertical route emphasis by serving as the underneath outlet, leveraging his rare tackle-breaking ability. Coming off a torn ACL, he presents a negative regression candidate, though historically freak athletes in their prime recover well. Craft appears ahead of schedule in his ACL recovery; he is not wearing a bulky knee brace during warm-ups and individual drills, unlike many players returning from injury. His injury occurred cleanly halfway through the season, suggesting a potential September ramp-up followed by a return to fringe top-five tight end status. Craft recently indicated he will come off the active/PUP list very soon.PositiveSleeperJul 3, 2026

Kraft's return timeline is uncertain; he could return earlier than expected, but optimism about injury recovery has been historically unreliable.
