2023 Season Outlooks

Musgrave shouldn't be overlooked as an impact rookie considering the thin depth of the Packers receiving corps. The 6-foot-6, 253-pound tight end used his speed and huge hands to average 14.3 yards per catch over his final two seasons at Oregon State. His collegiate stats otherwise, combined with a high number of drops (four in his past two seasons, eight in his past three), suggest he's in need of some coaching. But the Round 2 investment and lack of veteran talent at tight end give Musgrave an easy path to the starting lineup and potentially a high number of targets. Musgrave could get attention at the end of seasonal drafts if preseason reports are glowing, but he's much more likely to be snatched by 30th overall in rookie-only drafts.

Musgrave was selected in the second round of April's draft. The Oregon State product was seemingly on his way to a breakout 2022 season (11-169-1 receiving on 15 targets) but was limited by injury to three games. Musgrave operated primarily as a vertical threat, as his 11.89 aDOT during 35 collegiate games topped this year's rookie TE class. However, he wasn't targeted much (8% share), only scored two TDs and struggled after the catch (3.9 RAC) and with drops (class-worst 12.2% drop rate). On the plus side, he looked good at the combine, which included a 4.61 40-yard dash. Musgrave and fellow rookie Tucker Kraft are the future (and perhaps present) at tight end in Green Bay, but short-term fantasy output is unlikely in an offense that moved from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love at QB during the offseason. Musgrave's primary value is in dynasty.
