The Green Bay Packers took a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft for the first time in more than two decades.
As such, expectations were quite high for rookie WR Matthew Golden.
There has also been a lot of talk about Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson and whether they can take another step forward and prove that they can be a WR1.
Nevertheless, as much as that wide receiver corps is worth talking about, we can’t ignore Tucker Kraft.
As pointed out by Sleeper NFL on X, the third-year tight end is in the midst of a breakout season, and he’s projected to have a strong finish to the campaign.
As things stand now, he’s on pace to finish the year with 65 receptions for 923 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns.
That would be good for 190 fantasy points in most leagues, which would’ve been third in the league last season behind only Brock Bowers and George Kittle.

His 190 FPTS pace would have been the TE3 last season behind Bowers/Kittle.

Needless to say, being on the same list as those two speaks volumes about his ranking in the position.
Kraft has become one of Jordan Love’s favorite and most reliable targets.
He’s a perennial mismatch in the end zone, and he’s a master of picking up yards after the catch once he’s roaming free on the open field.
The Packers have found a true star at the tight end position.
And while he may not get as much credit as he deserves, he’s been instrumental to their offensive success this season.
