Kraft was on pace for a historic 2025 in the YAC department, racking up 10.6 yards after every catch on average. That is also where my concern lies. He has to be the best YAC producer in recent history because he isn't an elite target-earner.

Kraft's elite YAC masks weak target-earning; ACL injury risk threatens top-five pricing.

Kraft is overpriced at TE8 despite elite YAC production. He was on pace for a historic 2025 in the YAC department with 10.6 yards after catch on average, the record for tight ends with 50+ targets over the past decade. However, he 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 15th among tight ends in 2025. If a torn ACL inhibits any of his after-catch ability, he becomes a low-end TE1, not the top-five option he is currently being drafted as.
