If a torn ACL inhibits any of his ability after the catch, we're looking at a low-end TE1, not the top-five fantasy option he is currently being drafted as.

Fade at TE8; torn ACL risk to historic YAC could drop him from top-five to low-end TE1.

Kraft is faded at TE8 despite historic YAC production. He was on pace for a record 10.6 yards after catch on average among tight ends with 50+ targets in the past decade. However, the source's concern is that Kraft has to be the best YAC producer in recent history because he is not an elite target-earner; his 19.8 percent target rate ranked only 15th among tight ends in 2025. If a torn ACL inhibits his after-catch ability, he becomes a low-end TE1, not the top-five option he is currently being drafted as.
