Efficiency & Role
Led all TEs with 0.32 avoided tackles per reception

Averaged 9.1 yards after the catch (up from 7.5 in 2023)
Fourth-lowest TE route target rate (14.5%)
Despite limited volume, finished as TE9 in Half PPR
Coaches have publicly emphasized increasing his role in 2025
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.
