NegativeInjurySep 12, 2026
Kraft was TE1 in fantasy points per game before losing the rest of his 2025 season to a torn ACL in Week 9. In Weeks 1-8, among 33 qualifying tight ends, Kraft ranked seventh in target share (18.3%), first in receiving yards per game (67), second in yards per route run (2.71), seventh in first-read share (21.6%), and second in first downs per route run (0.121). Kraft was also a YAC god, leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception and missed tackles forced per reception. The source notes uncertainty about Kraft's route share and overall snap share in Week 1; the matchup against Minnesota isn't great, but the source isn't counting him out. Minnesota allowed the eighth-fewest yards per target and 11th-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.

Evan Tarracciano's bold prediction: Tucker Kraft finishes as the fantasy TE1. Given his current cost, Tarracciano calls Kraft his favorite tight end to target this season compared to options ahead of him like Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. Prior to tearing his ACL in Week 9 last season, Kraft was already the TE1 in fantasy points per game on an offense that often refused to pass the ball and competed against a very deep receiver room. With Josh Jacobs on the Commissioner's Exempt List for an undetermined amount of time following domestic abuse legal issues, and with Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks departing in the offseason, the future has cleared for Kraft. Still just 25 years old, Kraft reminds Tarracciano of a young George Kittle; his uncanny knack for piling up yards after contact and forcing missed tackles for a player of his size is exceptional, as is his rapport with quarterback Jordan Love. Green Bay finished with the sixth-fewest passing attempts in the league last season; if they bump that number up even moderately, Kraft will be the primary beneficiary. Tarracciano has been following Kraft's rehab closely and is impressed with his ability to be ahead of the curve at every step.

Aaron St Denis argues Kraft carries the strongest case among tight ends for delivering true league-winning production. His after-the-catch ability remains elite, and an expanded role in Green Bay's offense could finally unlock the volume that was missing in prior seasons. Health permitting, that combination projects him toward a top-three finish at the position rather than mere TE1 consistency, and securing him later than the absolute elites leaves managers with a difference-maker who can swing weekly matchups and championships.

Tucker Kraft is expected to produce big numbers in 2026 if fully healthy following an ACL tear and small meniscus tear that ended his 2025 season after eight games. Before the injury, Kraft was TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride, with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games. He averaged an astounding 2.33 yards per route run last season and has averaged 8.8 yards after catch per reception over his three-year career, demonstrating elite efficiency metrics.

Kraft will play in Week 1 after suffering a torn ACL last year. Over the first eight weeks of last season, he was the TE1 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 16.2 PPR fantasy points per contest (matching Trey McBride's average) despite seeing only 5.9 targets per outing. The Packers moved on from Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks without adding meaningful receiving additions, positioning Kraft as a sleeper pick to finish the year as the overall TE1.

Situation has become considerably more encouraging over past couple weeks. Tore ACL in Week 9 last season after incredible start, posting 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in just eight games. Has been working way back throughout training camp and recently progressed to 11-on-11 work. Latest news is positive: participated in 11-on-11 drills during Green Bay's joint practice with Arizona and is now expected to be full participant in Week 1, representing change from earlier in camp when Packers limited his reps.

Kraft stands out as the emerging tight end with legitimate league-winning potential. Before his Week 9 injury, he was producing at an elite level with 44 targets in eight games, 32 receptions for 489 yards and six touchdowns—a pace that placed him among the top tight ends in the league and showcased how central he was to Green Bay's passing game. Now fully healthy and entering the season in peak condition, the source projects a major jump; his play style resembles a big-bodied wide receiver with the ability to separate against linebackers and safeties, and Green Bay has shown willingness to feature him in scripted sequences. Kraft has top-five tight end potential and the ability to anchor fantasy rosters if he stays healthy.

Kraft is a generational yards-after-the-catch (YAC) tight end at ADP 60 who will spike significantly once healthy. In 2024, he led all tight ends with 50+ targets at 9.38 YAC; no other tight end exceeded 7.00. In 2025, that jumped to 10.66 YAC with no other tight end at 25+ catches over 8.00. He also ranked third in yards per route run, second in targets, and posted a 26% target share in the red zone. Recovering from a torn ACL, all indications are he'll play Week 1 without a pitch count. Once at training camp and fully healthy, his ADP will spike significantly, particularly in TE-Premium formats like FFPC.

Kraft is recovering from an ACL tear and small meniscus tear that ended his 2025 season after eight games. Before the injury in Week 9 against the Panthers, he was TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride, with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns. His 2024 breakout season produced 50 catches for 707 yards and seven TDs. If fully healthy in 2026, Kraft could produce big numbers; he averaged an astounding 2.33 yards per route run last season and 8.8 yards after catch per reception over his three-year career. The Packers parted ways with WRs Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks and didn't add notable pass catchers, potentially increasing Kraft's target share. Monitor his recovery and be prepared to target him if he carries an injury discount.
