As others have said, we as a fantasy community may have gotten a bit too excited from the first few weeks about Kraft’s target share. There are several capable pass catchers and the scheme does not seem to be designed to focus on any one individual.

I think he drew a lot of the number one coverage last night, going off memory I would think two of the Doubs TDs were in single coverage.

He also wrongly lost a TD imo, the footage was not conclusive enough to overturn

I get all that but the targets still aren’t that robust. Last night, Love threw the ball 43 times and Kraft was targeted on only 5 of them. The three previous games, his targets were 4,7 and 4. He’s got a high ceiling based on his YAC ability but he’s not a target monster (at least not yet) by any stretch like McBride.

Same as last year, he looked ready to be a stud, but was a prisoner of the system. In 2024 he averaged just over 4 targets per game, with a high of 9 but only had 7+ targets in 3 games.

Packers’ Tucker Kraft has 3 TDs and 9.9 average yards after catch through the first six weeks of the season.

Since 2006, only one other tight end has accomplished this feat.

… That player was also Tucker Kraft, last year.

Almost like he should be seeing 8+ targets instead of less than 5. I get that GB wants to be an everybody eats offense (I don't actually get it, but I'm aware of it is probably a better way to put it) but they have a special player here that they routinely forget about.

If you're frustrated now, just wait until Reed and Watson are back.
