GB TE Tucker Kraft - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Carolina Panthers

Tucker Kraft has started take off the last few weeks without Luke Musgrave, but runs into a buzzsaw of a pass defense this week against the Panthers. It's the polar opposite of his matchup last week where he put up 4 catches for 57 yards and a touchdown against the Bucs.

This week against the top-ranked defense aFPA against tight ends in the Panthers is a much tougher spot for Kraft. He's a back-end TE2 in 2TE leagues or TE premium leagues this week. However, even in the difficult matchup it looks like a few regular wide receivers could miss this weekend. That raises his floor a bit as there aren't as many mouths to feed this week.

GB TE Tucker Kraft - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tucker Kraft is becoming a more consistent target for Jordan Love and he paid him off last week catching all four targets for 64 yards, including a 43-yarder. It's a similar stat line we were seeing from Luke Musgrave earlier this season and some weeks he would mix in a touchdown and others not so much.

Tampa Bay ranks 23rd aFPA against tight ends this week and given how some teams have struggled to run against Tampa Bay and the way the Packers have struggled to run the ball, Jordan Love may drop back a few more times this week. That would certainly help Kraft's ceiling this week. While he ranks outside of the top-12 tight ends a lot of guys just inside the top-12 and just outside are in tough matchups. It isn't out of the question that Kraft could outperform a few of them. Is it worth starting? Probably not in 1TE leagues, but in 2TE leagues or deeper flex leagues with TE premium, it isn't the worst thing I've ever heard of.

GB TE Tucker Kraft - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at New York Giants

Tucker Kraft remains at the same levels of route participation as Luke Musgrave before his injury, but he hasn't had the same level of production. Kraft is still ceding about 18% of the routes to Ben Sims, but saw 6 targets to Sims' 1, although it was a touchdown for Sims.

That said, the matchup is a bit tougher for tight ends against the Giants than it is for running backs and receivers. The Giants rank 6th in aFPA against tight ends this season and between the lack of efficiency and the difficult matchup, it puts Kraft off the starting or flex radar this week. I guess if you are desperate in a 2TE league you could consider Kraft if you're missing Logan Thomas or Trey McBride, but other than that there has to be a better-projecting option somewhere.

GB TE Tucker Kraft - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Tucker Kraft may be an athletic marvel, but he isn't quite the target earner that Luke Musgrave was in the starting lineup. Kraft saw 88% of the tight-end snaps taking over for Musgrave in Week 12. He did manage to catch both targets for 15 yards and a touchdown though which was enough to reward those who played him in DFS or were desperate last week.

In a tougher matchup, it's a little tough to get to Kraft even in TE Premium or 2TE leagues this week. The Chiefs are sixth aFPA against tight ends this year and while Kraft is running the routes, he isn't going to see the targets Musgrave saw. He's a desperate flier this week, unfortunately.

GB TE Tucker Kraft - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Detroit Lions

With Luke Musgrave hospitalized with a "pretty significant" abdomen injury, Tucker Kraft is going to be stepping into the starting tight end role for the Packers this week. The second rookie tight end drafted by the Packers this year has been an afterthought, but Kraft had an absolutely elite athletic profile coming out of South Dakota State.

It's unlikely you had to dip down far enough to pick up Kraft in 1TE leagues, but in TE premium or 2TE leagues, Kraft is certainly in play. The matchup against the Lions is a solid one, 19th aFPA against tight ends, and while the volume won't be there he makes for a decent flier in a solid matchup.
