Tucker Kraft: Start or Sit?
TE1 and primary seam threat. Physical yards-after-catch producer and capable in-line blocker; returning from injury.
This week’s verdict
Toss-Up· medium
86% snaps and a 20% target share make Kraft a top-10 TE play; the tough DvP rank comes from a 0-game sample, so discount it — just confirm he's active.

team points
- Carries a Questionable tag — usually plays, but monitor the final report.
- MIN ranks 7 of 32 against TEs (one of the tougher matchups, 0-game sample).
- Vegas implies 23.0 team points as 1.5-point favorites.
- Listed TE on the latest depth chart with a 86% snap share in 2025.
The call
- Role is locked and elite for the position: 86% snap share and a 20% target share over eight games is target-hog usage that plays in any script.
- The opponent's 7-of-32 DvP composite is built on a 0-game sample with 0.00 confidence — that's not a reason to bench a TE9 with this workload.
- Game environment is fine: a 23.0 implied total in a 1.5-point game means Green Bay stays balanced and Kraft sees his normal volume rather than getting scripted out.
- The one real risk is the questionable tag — if he's downgraded or limited late in the week, pivot; otherwise he's a confident start.
