Tucker Kraft
TE - Green Bay Packers - IR
Availability
The Packers placed TE Tucker Kraft on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact

Adam Schefter reports that tests confirmed Packers TE Tucker Kraft tore his ACL in Sunday's loss against the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
It is a brutal break for Kraft and the Packers. The tight end had been the top target most weeks for Jordan Love. Luke Musgrave figures to take over as the primary tight end for Green Bay. He is unlikely to replace Kraft’s production, but he can still be on the fantasy radar.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated after the game Sunday that TE Tucker Kraft's knee injury "does not look good."
Fantasy Impact
LaFleur stated after the game that Kraft will undergo further testing. If Kraft is set to miss any significant time, Luke Musgrave would see an increase in playing time.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft was carted to the locker room with a knee injury and is questionable to return
Fantasy Impact
Kraft was coming across the formation to set a block and appeared to injury his knee/leg. He was taken off the field with help from the training staff and is heading to the locker room for further evaluation. If Kraft is unable to return, Luke Musgrave and John FitzPatrick will see an increase in playing time.
Tucker Kraft caught 7-of-9 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers 35-25 win over the Steelers.
Fantasy Impact
It was a special night for Kraft on National Tight Ends Day. He had a number of long receptions to go along with a pair of touchdowns to likely win some fantasy managers their matchups. He remains a TE1 moving forward.
