2025 Fantasy Outlook

1. Role & Opportunity Growth

• Projected to open 2025 as the starting TE in Green Bay

• Luke Musgrave returns from injury, but is not expected to overtake Kraft

• Coach Matt LaFleur emphasized getting the TE more involved this season

• Green Bay did add WR Matthew Golden in the first round, joining a crowded but young WR room

2. Target & Usage Projection

• Managed 70 targets on limited route share in 2024

• A modest increase of 20–30 targets could lift him to 90–100 total in 2025

• Projected stat line if volume and efficiency hold:

  • 60–70 receptions

  • 800–900 yards

  • 8+ touchdowns

3. Efficiency Drivers Remain Strong

• Top-tier YAC ability and tackle avoidance create upside independent of volume

• 14.1 yards per reception shows consistent big-play ability

Headliner Take

Tucker Kraft enters 2025 as a strong breakout candidate at tight end. He posted top-10 TE numbers in 2024 despite low volume, and the Packers have already signaled they want to make him a bigger part of the offense.

There’s still some risk due to the number of mouths to feed in Green Bay, but Kraft has the profile of a mid-to-late round steal. If the targets climb even slightly, he’s a high-efficiency TE with legit top-8 upside. Draft him as a low-end TE1 with a ceiling worth betting on.
