Tucker Kraft

Tucker Kraft finished 2025 as the number 24 tight end in total PPR scoring — and the number 4 tight end in PPR per game. Read those two ranks together and you've got his whole fantasy year in one sentence: when he played, he was elite; he just didn't play enough. Kraft suited up for only 8 games before his season ended, and in that window he was a featured red-zone weapon in one of the best passing offenses in football. Six touchdowns in eight games screams touchdown-dependent — but the volume of high-leverage looks wasn't a fluke. This was a breakout cut short, not a hot streak fading.

Now let's dig into the numbers. Kraft averaged 14.7 PPR points per game across his 8 appearances on 32 catches for 489 yards and 6 touchdowns on 44 targets — a 73 percent catch rate on a healthy five-and-a-half targets per game. The efficiency was real: 6 scores on 44 targets means he found the end zone on roughly 1 in every 7 balls thrown his way, inside a Green Bay passing attack that finished 3rd in the league in total passing expected points added at plus 118.8. On consistency, his weekly scores tell a boom-anchored-by-touchdowns story — 33.3 against the Steelers, 24.4 against the Commanders, 16.8 in Arizona, but also a 4.0 against Carolina, a 5.9 in Cleveland, and a 9.9 in the opener. When he found the end zone, he was a league-winner. When he didn't, he floored in single digits. Classic touchdown-dependent tight end. And with Jordan Love throwing 23 touchdowns on the year and Green Bay converting 48.5 percent of their third downs — second in the entire league — Kraft was plugged into the exact kind of offense that feeds tight end scoring.

The play that captures the season best came in Pittsburgh in Week 8. Third and 4, ball at the Steelers' 24, fourth quarter, Green Bay clinging to a 22-19 lead. Love hit Kraft on a short middle route 6 yards downfield, and Kraft turned it into 18 yards after the catch for a 24-yard touchdown that broke the game open in a 35-25 win. Third down, red-zone-adjacent, high leverage, yards after catch doing the heavy lifting — that's the Tucker Kraft 2025 season in miniature. He was the guy Love looked for when the offense needed a chunk and a score, and he was converting at a rate that made him a top-five per-game tight end before his year ended.
