Outlook Tucker Kraft

Tucker Kraft at New England — Primed for Continued Red-Zone Success

Firmly entrenched as Green Bay's primary tight end, Kraft has hit his stride as he moves further away from last year's ACL recovery. Over his past two games, he has hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns, operating as a top red-zone priority for Jordan Love.

Facing the Patriots in a competitive road matchup, Kraft remains a trusted weekly option started in roughly 86% of fantasy leagues. Our projections peg him for around four receptions and 42 yards with strong scoring potential, making fantasy managers comfortable keeping him in lineups as a solid TE1.
