Week 4 stats: 6 rec, 53 yds, 1 TD, 1 2PT, 17.30 pts
Though the broadcasters haven’t quite caught on yet, Tucker Kraft is indeed the starting tight end in Green Bay, a role he’s earned with his run-blocking, gutty yards after the catch and nible footwork to stay in bounds and find the end zone.
Sure, Kraft had a poorly timed fumble in Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but if you’ve paid attention this season, his bad plays have been few and far between. Now that he’s secured the starting role (and the targets that come with it), expect him to be involved enough in the Packers’ passing game that he becomes a viable starting fantasy tight end too.
At the conclusion of Sunday’s late afternoon games, Kraft was the highest-scoring tight end in fantasy (17.30 pts, PPR formats).
