Kraft was on pace to finish as TE3 last season before a torn ACL ended his year. The source states 'that's how good it was last season' and expresses excitement about his upside.

Jamie identifies Tucker Kraft as his favorite breakout tight end, noting he was on his way to doing it last year before injury. Kraft was averaging just shy of 6 targets per game and had 6 touchdowns in 8 games played. The Packers lose 131 targets from Romeo Doubs and Don Tavenwix departing, creating opportunity for Kraft. If healthy and given a full season, his 17-game pace (excluding week 9 when he tore his ACL) is 100 targets, 73 catches, 1,139 yards, 15 touchdowns. Kraft is an elite yards-after-catch (YAC) tight end with 9.1 career YAC, the most since true media started tracking with a minimum of 50 targets.NegativeInjuryNo date
