News: 6 hours agoKraft brought in all three of his targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville.

Spin: Kraft finished as the Packers' leading receiver in a game where starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) left in the second half due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old Kraft was coming off a game where he recorded his fourth touchdown of season, bringing him up to a respectable 24/342/5 receiving line through eight games. Kraft makes for a solid play against the Lions next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Kraft returns for his second season, leading the tight end room in Green Bay. After starting last year behind fellow 2023 draft pick, Luke Musgrave, Kraft gave fantasy managers four straight games with 10+ fantasy points from Weeks 14-17, the heart of the fantasy playoffs. He was a nice safety valve for Jordan Love's late-season resurgence and proved he can be a trusted pass-catcher. The problem is he's splitting reps with Musgrave and there are a number of talented, young WRs that'll get targets in this offense before he does. If he was the lone tight end in Green Bay, his value would rise substantially, but as it is, he's not worth drafting in fantasy.
