Tucker Kraft Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Fri, Aug 21st 2026, 5:41pm EDT

Tucker Kraft ranked as the TE1 through 8 weeks (14 PPG). TE2 in PPG. He led all TEs in YAC/reception. Kraft was a 'my guy' the last two seasons, and all he did was deliver before he tore his ACL. But I wouldn't completely write off the 25-year-old freak athlete after the season-ending injury. Recall that Packers WR Christian Watson came back in 2025 after a very late ACL injury. He received an All-Pro vote. With no complications in Kraft's surgery, a 2026 Week 1 return is firmly in play. Just keep in mind that the team is going to be mindful with Kraft as the season progresses. Per Kraft: "They're [Green Bay] going to take into account my rep range probably until halfway through the season, and then they're going to just pat me on the ass and send me out there and send me to the wolves."
