Davis Mattek said Tucker Kraft is still one of the best TE2 values in Best Ball even though his Underdog ADP has slid nearly 20 spots since Green Bay selected rookie wideout Matthew Golden. Mattek thinks drafters are double-counting target competition. Kraft already ran a route on 81 percent of Jordan Love’s dropbacks over the final six weeks and tied for the team lead in red-zone looks during that stretch, so a mid-season rookie learning curve is behind him. Mattek added that last year’s minus-7 percent PROE is an outlier driven by Love’s Week-1 ankle injury; with Love healthy and the offensive line upgraded, he expects LaFleur to creep back toward league-average pass rate. With no veteran tight-end additions and only the oft-injured Luke Musgrave behind him, Mattek projected 90–95 targets and half-dozen touchdowns for Kraft—plenty to crack weekly Best Ball lineups at a TE25 price tag.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound pivoted to Tucker Kraft as his TE1 and called the pick “sneaky leverage on the entire Green Bay offense.” He cited multiple OTA reports suggesting Kraft is pushing to lead the Packers in targets while Christian Watson and Jayden Reed rotate outside. Pat expects an 80 percent route rate in Matt LaFleur’s scheme, which already ranked eighth in red-zone pass rate last year. Because tight ends dry up after Round 15, he loves snagging Kraft around pick 180 while the room chases replacement-level wide receivers. Pat views the move as cheap access to Jordan Love’s weekly ceiling and a natural bring-back opposite Vikings pieces in Week 16.
