He added 10 yards on the ground on a pair of successful tush pushes (tush pushii?) and was a reliable checkdown option for Jalen Hurts. Kraft at times demonstrated some real burst and wiggle in the open field in 2024, finishing the regular season with a 50/707/7 receiving line and starting all 17 games. At the very least, he clearly won the main tight end role away from the oft-injured Luke Musgrave. You could make an argument that Kraft was the most physically imposing target the Packers employed this year, but he's just not a main focal point of the offense. He'll enter the 2025 offseason as a borderline TE1 option in fantasy.
The 2023 second-round pick played 15 of 66 snaps, finishing as the clear No. 2 tight end. He missed the vast majority of the season while dealing with an ankle injury, ending the year with a 7/45 receiving line on 10 targets in seven games. If we write off this as a lost season for Musgrave, you can build a comeback case for 2025 on his draft stock and what he showed in 2023. The problem is that Tucker Kraft has placed the Packers TE1 bar pretty high, and the team rarely uses a second tight end. Musgrave is not a must-roster in deeper dynasty leagues at this point.
Kraft had the longest play of the game for the Packers on a 35-yard connection with Jordan Love that set up a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He was able to haul in his pair of passes while Luke Musgrave caught just one pass for four yards on his lone target. Kraft will be on the TE1 precipice for Week 18 against the Bears; assuming Green Gay plays it's starters against Chicago in that contest.
Kraft and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) have both been limited in practices to start the week. Kraft saw only four targets in last week's win over the Saints, but still managed to turn that limited volume into 63 receiving yards. Musgrave has played behind Kraft this season and won't have any fantasy viability if Kraft is active on Sunday against the Vikings.
