All Ron Stewart insights about Tucker Kraft
PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Tucker Craft finally had a big game with 14.8 PPR points and is in a good spot moving forward in the Packers' pass-heavy offense; he has only one game under five targets and benefits from the team's high scoring and uptempo passing approach.PositiveRoleOct 22, 2026
The source believes Josh Jacobs' arrival will not negatively impact Craft; instead, a viable Packers run game will improve overall offensive efficiency. Jacobs turning short-yardage runs into four-yard gains rather than one-yard losses will help the entire operation, and the source notes the Packers have had plenty of touchdowns taken away by previous running backs, suggesting Craft will benefit from improved run-game efficiency. Craft faces Detroit this weekend, which allows 26.8 points per game to opposing tight ends—the most in the entire NFL by far; the next worst is Washington at 18.8 points per game. Sunday is also National Tightend's Day, which could amplify Craft's upside. The source is actively buying Craft on the trade market because he is undervalued relative to his usage and matchup. Real fantasy football league trade data shows Craft is being acquired for relatively modest assets (e.g., Aaron Jones straight up), indicating the market is underpricing him.PositiveValueOct 22, 2026
Primary trade target for Week 7; TE16 overall but TE8 in usage, indicating significant underperformance relative to opportunity. Over last five games, TE5 in usage with expected fantasy points per game just shy of 15, similar to George Kittle, Trey McBride, Tyler Warren, Sam LaPorta, and Isaiah Likely. Still ramping up from ACL injury with only five catches for 37 yards on eight targets in Week 6 vs Cowboys despite full practice participation. Faces Detroit this weekend, which allows 26.8 points per game to opposing tight ends—most in NFL by far; next worst is Washington at 18.8 PPG. Ron Stewart actively buying Kraft on trade market because he is undervalued relative to usage and matchup; real league trade data shows Kraft being acquired for modest assets like Aaron Jones straight up. Stewart believes Josh Jacobs arrival will improve Packers run-game efficiency and help Kraft's overall role rather than hurt it; Jacobs turning short-yardage runs into four-yard gains instead of one-yard losses will improve offensive efficiency and reduce goal-line carries by less efficient backs like Marshon Lloyd, preserving touchdown opportunities for Kraft.PositiveValueOct 8, 2026
Tucker Kraft is a buy-low tight end option as he ramps up from injury. Ron Stewart likes him as a trade target for teams seeking tight end help, viewing his recent performance as a first bounce-back off injury ramping.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
The source expresses confidence that Tucker Kraft will be a top-five tight end and score enough to flex one of his two tight ends (Kraft or Fannon), making the dual tight-end strategy worthwhile if Kraft hits in a big way. The source states: 'if Tucker Craft and Harold Fanner are both top five tight ends like I'll be in an absolutely I'll be chilling... if I'm going to spend a good amount of capital on tight end, like I'm pretty confident one of Craft or Fannon are going to hit in a pretty big way this year.' The source also notes a correlated bet with Love to Kraft, indicating confidence in the pairing.NegativeValueSep 9, 2026
Ron Stewart regrets the Tucker Craft pick at 609 (round 6) multiple times throughout the draft, identifying it as the primary draft mistake. Stewart states: 'my 609 Tucker Craft look silly... I regret the craft pick... the Tucker Craft pick... Craft pick is where the mistake was.' Stewart explicitly compares Craft unfavorably to Godwin, saying 'Does Craft out project Godwin? No.' Stewart expresses strong regret, stating 'God, I hate the craft pick. If I could go back and change the craft pick, I would. Just wish craft was Godwin or Conpsion or something.' Stewart concludes: 'None of the receivers felt good at 609. I figured Leaporta Pitts and Fannon weren't going to make it back to me after the 67 turn, but instead they do.' Additionally, both Craft and Fannon share the same bye-week, creating a roster construction problem.PositiveValueSep 7, 2026
Tucker Kraft was selected in this $2k fantasy football draft and Ron Stewart explicitly endorsed the pick as 'Good pick. Good pick,' indicating strong approval of the draft decision.PositiveBreakoutSep 1, 2026
Ron Stewart is coming around on Tucker Craft this year, taking him in a half-PPR league where wide receiver felt flat; half-PPR format lends itself better to Craft given his touchdown scoring and good offense fit, with Josh Jacobs boosting his value.NegativeValueAug 31, 2026
Ron Stewart selected Tucker Kraft as his tight end in a zero-RB build, expressing confidence in the pick despite acknowledging ACL injury risk; Kraft can come off the bench if he starts slow. Stewart noted Kraft projects to score on par with elite tight ends like Ibuka and LA, and will outproject Mike Evans in the flex a lot of the time, making tight end the play at that point in the draft. In a tight end premium league, Kraft is expected to be flexed over Mike Evans when fully healthy from his ACL tear. Stewart expressed some hindsight regret about the tight end premium at that draft position, wishing he had taken Jefferson and Lamb instead, but accepted the pick given the tier dynamics where no single tight end went in round five.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026

While Ron Stewart initially notes a preference for Tucker Kraft, he expresses significant concerns regarding his role, citing 58% route participation and 20% targets-per-route metrics, which he compares to Brenton Strange. He also highlights the risk of betting on efficiency for a player coming off an ACL injury.PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026
The source expects Tucker Kraft to be a core engine of the Packers' top-10 EPA per play offense, alongside Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden, indicating strong confidence in Kraft's role and production.NegativeBustAug 11, 2026
Tucker Kraft is grouped in the sixth-round tight end tier (alongside Kyle Pitts, Harold Fannin, Sam LaPorta) that Ron Stewart predicts will produce 2-3 brutal picks this season, citing last year's tight end draft range (LaPorta to David Njoku) where all those tight ends were terrible picks.PositiveValueAug 8, 2026
Ron Stewart views Tucker Kraft as a value pick if he falls in the draft, noting he is a solid option when a tight end is needed.PositiveValueJun 17, 2026
Tucker Craft already showed how he can crush in a given season and is attached to Jordan Love, one of eight quarterbacks with a seven plus adjusted net yards per attempt over the entire history of the NFL.PositiveProjectionJun 17, 2026

Tucker Craft is a round 7-8 pick in home leagues, making him a good value given his elite efficiency and production before his ACL tear.PositiveValueNo date
Tucker Kraft is tracking alongside George Kittle as a monster efficiency tight end; both players excel in half-PPR leagues where talent-based production wins. Kraft's efficiency profile makes him a strong value proposition when drafted late, offering a path to win at the tight end position without early-round capital investment.PositiveInjuryNo date
Suffered an isolated ACL tear in November with only a small meniscus tear that did not require repair, making his injury profile significantly simpler than comparable cases. He was one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL last year, averaging over 10 yards after the catch per reception. The isolated ACL injury puts him on track for a standard 9-10 month recovery timeline. Ron Stewart assesses Craft as having a good chance to return on value compared to other injured receivers, anticipating a ramp-up period through the season. While not expected to be the same player in week one as week ten, Stewart believes Craft has a realistic chance to get back to his pre-injury level of play at some point during the year, making him an okay target for fantasy purposes.
