Packers HC Matt LaFleur wants to get TE Tucker Kraft even more involved in the offense in 2025. He answered, "100%" when asked if Kraft can make a Travis Kelce or George Kittle-type of impact.
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.
A standard Kraft statline even with Romeo Doubs (illness) out and Christian Watson (knee) injured. Kraft heads into postseason best ball tournaments and DFS lineups as a floor option who rarely provides ceiling.
