Tucker Kraft is catching 4-6 passes weekly and seems to want to spike a week, but the source is not confident he can; returning from a torn ACL, he appears to be a classic case where full recovery may not arrive until November or December, with hope it comes early against the Panthers on Thursday.

Carolina ranks 14th in half PPR points allowed to opposing tight ends at 11.0 per game, having yielded monster weeks to Harold Fannin (20.6) and Sam LaPorta (18.4) earlier this season. Green Bay is listed as 3.5-point home favorites with an implied team total of 25.5 points (6th); Kraft's touchdown odds are higher than most, even if he's less likely to see 8+ targets.

After limited snaps and uncharacteristic drops and poor blocking early on, Kraft has rebounded recently; he's the TE10 on TE7 usage over his last 4 games, averaging 6.5 targets and 11.0 expected half PPR points. Signature YAC moments will come eventually.

PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz

Ian Hartitz ranks Kraft TE6 against the Panthers on Thursday Night Football after finding the end zone last week against Detroit. While the Panthers matchup is tougher on paper, the defense is banged up and not very good, with multiple teams finding success through the air. Jordan Love throws the deep ball more than most and Kraft has been getting involved in that. Kraft is a talented tight end in a full-time role with a quarterback and play caller (Love and LaFleur) that Hartitz respects; however, his yards per catch and yards per target are a shell of what he produced last season.

Kraft's emergence has been undeniable, recording 5+ targets in six of seven contests and seeing rotational slot work with at least two catches in five straight games. He ranks fifth in red-zone targets at the position, positioning him to climb higher than his current TE6 ranking as the season progresses.

Kraft scored on National Tight End Day for the third straight year and has eight red zone targets this season; the Packers use play-action on 22% of his routes and have given him flat and curl/hitch routes as well as roughly 75% of recent passing-down work. Receiver Score has him as a mid-tier TE1 right next to Colston Loveland and Sam LaPorta.

Kraft is upgraded for Week 8 vs. Panthers due to offensive injury. Kraft has been disappointingly mediocre (8.1 fantasy points per game, 29-297-2 receiving, 43 targets with 2-5-0 rushing; 71% route rate, 17% target share, 9% air yard share, 14% end zone target share, 68 Utilization Score). No. 2 WR Matthew Golden (shoulder, foot) looks unlikely to play, and Packers are playing third game in four weeks at home with boosted edge (outside division, on grass vs. turf).

Kraft would see slight upticks in ceiling if Matthew Golden misses Week 8; volume is positioned to concentrate on Christian Watson, Golden, and Kraft following Jayden Reed's injury.
