The full read
Tucker Kraft caught everything thrown to him against the Panthers: 6 targets, 6 catches, 53 yards, a touchdown and +7.3 expected points added (EPA), his most in any game this season. EPA is what a play was worth given down, distance and field position. Four of the catches went for first downs.
Three of them came on third down. Down 3-0 with 5:12 left in the first quarter, third and 8 at the Carolina 12, Jordan Love threw short over the middle and Kraft scored: +3.0 EPA and 8.0 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. Down 10-6 in the second, his 3-yard catch on third and 2 at the Green Bay 18 kept alive the drive that Christian Watson's 53-yarder and Josh Jacobs's touchdown finished. Up 13-10 with 2:32 left in the half, his 7-yarder on third and 6 at the Carolina 28 moved the chains, and Matthew Golden scored three snaps later. His longest gain, 14 yards to the Carolina 29, came in the third quarter. A 21-yard catch in the fourth came back on an ineligible-man-downfield penalty.
The six targets brought him to half of his season's value in one night. Through Week 7 he had 43 targets, 29 catches, 297 yards, 2 touchdowns and +14.4 EPA.
