PositiveBreakoutOct 26, 2026
Tucker Kraft is starting to look more like his expected self on National Tight Ends Day, with a couple of big moments in the Lions game. This suggests he's trending in the right direction after earlier struggles.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Matthew Berry loves Tucker Craft (the Tuckler/Tuck Daddy) as tight end 6 this week against Detroit, which allows the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends (over 14 per game); six different tight ends have scored 13+ fantasy points against Detroit, and the Lions have given up nine touchdowns to tight ends in five games; Craft had eight targets last week and benefits from Watson and Golden leading the league in touchdowns as a duo, opening up the middle of the field.NegativeRoleOct 19, 2026
Tucker Craft is still waiting to replicate what he showed at the beginning of last year; the Packers don't have much depth behind their top receivers and are thin at the position.NegativeRoleSep 30, 2026
Matthew Berry closes on Kraft due to concerns about Green Bay's poor pass protection and LeFleur's potential response to use max pass protection looks, keeping Kraft in for blocking rather than releasing him into routes. This schematic approach could lower his route participation and overall utilization.PositiveMatchupSep 30, 2026
Buccaneers are bottom-12 in fantasy points allowed to tight ends and have allowed two touchdowns to tight ends in past three games, creating a favorable matchup for Kraft.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Kraft at TE12 and keeps him open, expecting him to 'get off the schneid' this week. Over past two games, Kraft has 77% route participation and continues to get healthier. With Jaden Reed out, the target tree in Green Bay narrows further, increasing Kraft's opportunity.NegativeRoleSep 30, 2026
Craft holds 14% target share in Green Bay's passing attack with Jaden Reed out. Matthew Berry notes Craft had a tough game against Atlanta but is working his way into the offense; he's one of three primary targets for Jordan Love.NegativeUsageSep 25, 2026
Tucker Kraft received 8 targets in Thursday night game but did not show up in the box score despite Packers throwing 53 times. Stefania Bell attributes this to where the ball went rather than injury concerns, noting he may have been used more for blocking given offensive line issues. She deliberately did not play him in daily fantasy due to concerns about the Packers offense overall, but believes he has had a smooth recovery from ACL injury.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Matthew Berry prefers Dalton Kincaid over Tucker Kraft for this week's lineup.PositiveProjectionSep 4, 2026
Matthew Berry is higher on Tucker Kraft than consensus, ranking him as a top-five tight end. Stephania Bell supports this, noting his meticulous recovery from an ACL tear and his high efficiency and target potential whenever he is on the field.PositiveValueSep 2, 2026
Tucker Kraft is a high-priority target for Dwayne, especially on ESPN where he goes at pick 91. He is expected to be ready for Week 1 despite potential early snap limitations, and Dwayne believes he has a massive ceiling that could have rivaled Loveland's value if not for last year's injury.PositiveProjectionAug 28, 2026
Matthew Berry projects a monster year for Tucker Kraft, citing his 2.3 fantasy points per target (second only to George Kittle since 2023) and his status as the TE1 on a points-per-game basis in the first eight weeks of last year. Berry notes a narrow target tree in Green Bay and potential for increased passing volume due to running game concerns.PositiveProjectionAug 28, 2026
Matthew Berry highlights Tucker Kraft's efficiency, noting he averaged 2.3 fantasy points per target, second only to George Kittle since 2023. Before his ACL injury last year, Kraft was the TE1 in points per game from weeks one through eight.PositiveValueAug 26, 2026
Matthew Berry is very high on Tucker Craft and recommends targeting him as the seventh or eighth tight end off the board.PositiveValueAug 24, 2026
Tucker Kraft is identified as a strong value target, currently discounted due to injury. Berry notes that his draft position varies significantly by platform, going in round eight on ESPN but round six or seven on Sleeper and Yahoo.PositiveUsageAug 21, 2026
Matthew Berry highlights that Kraft leads all qualified tight ends in yards after catch per target since entering the NFL and ranked second in yards per target last year. Prior to his ACL tear, he was the number one fantasy tight end in points per game over the first eight weeks.PositiveValueAug 19, 2026
Tucker Kraft is a major target on ESPN where he is currently drafted outside the top 100 as the TE9; despite concerns regarding his efficiency coming off a severe knee injury, his role as the primary tight end in a high-powered Green Bay offense provides an incredibly safe floor, making him a high-upside value play.
