Pre-Season Outlook
Kraft was actually the slightly more productive of Green Bay's two rookie tight ends in 2023. The third-round pick out of South Dakota State had 355 yards and two touchdowns, three more yards and one more TD than second-round pick Luke Musgrave. However, almost all of that production (281 yards and both TDs) came in the six games Musgrave missed in November and December with a lacerated kidney. Musgrave got far more snaps before the injury and is the faster of the two tight ends, but it's worth noting that Kraft was more productive with his opportunity atop the depth chart than Musgrave had been. Kraft will be sidelined through at least the start of training camp due to a torn pectoral, which could give Musgrave a leg up for 2024 playing time. In any case, both Green Bay tight ends figure to take a backseat to the team's young wide receiver group, led by Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs.

Out until training camp
Coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Kraft (pectoral) will be sidelined until at least the start of training camp, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.
Analysis: LaFleur said Kraft and offensive lineman Zach Tom (pectoral) will both miss the early portion of the team's offseason activities. The nature of Kraft's injury hasn't been disclosed, but he was spotted with his arm in a sling Tuesday. As a rookie, the 2023 third-round pick stepped up nicely in the wake of an injury to Luke Musgrave. Kraft figures to handle a complementary role at tight end when healthy.

Scores in playoff loss
Kraft recorded three receptions on six targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: It was a perplexing stat line for Kraft, as he tied for the team lead with six targets and also caught a pivotal two-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. However, he managed an abysmal 1.5 yards per target and his longest gain of the day went for only seven yards. Kraft emerged as a key piece of the Packers' offense in the second half of the season due to Luke Musgrave being sidelined by a kidney injury, and the former recorded multiple receptions in each of his last 10 contests. He…read more

Catches two passes in win
Kraft was targeted three times and caught two passes for 15 yards in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Kraft and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave both garnered starts Sunday, and although Kraft played 45 snaps to Musgrave's 15, the latter made far more of an impact in the box score with three catches for 52 yards and a score. Expect both players to remain involved when the Packers face the 49ers on Saturday in the divisional round.

Remains primary tight end
Kraft was targeted three times and caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave returned to action Sunday after missing six games with a lacerated kidney, but Kraft remained Green Bay's starting tight end, and he played 54 snaps to Musgrave's nine. Kraft produced steadily during Musgrave's absence and caught a crucial pass late in Sunday's contest, so although Musgrave opened the season as the starter at his position, it seems likely Kraft will hold onto the job for the upcoming playoff matchup with the Cowboys.

Effective again
Kraft recorded six receptions on six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Kraft continued to operate as the Packers' top tight end in the absence of Luke Musgrave (abdomen). He was overshadowed by both Jayden Reed (chest) and Bo Melton in Sunday's win, but Kraft's role in the offense is secure. He has at least six targets in four of his last five games and has a minimum of four catches in four straight contests. His ceiling is limited due to Green Bay's willingness to spread targets, but so long as Musgrave remains out, Kraft is a reliable option.

Another productive appearance
Kraft was targeted six times and caught four passes for 60 yards in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.
Analysis: It was not a huge afternoon for Kraft, but he did record four receptions and at least 57 yards for the third straight game. His role will change when fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) returns, but it's unclear if that will occur in Week 17, as the Packers are being cautious with Musgrave as he works his way back from a lacerated kidney. Either way, Kraft will have his work cut out for him next week, as he and the Packers will square off against a Vikings team that just shut down Sam…read more

Finds end zone in Week 15 loss
Kraft brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The rookie tight end continued to enjoy a solid role in the Packers' air attack, finishing with the team's second-highest yardage tally of the afternoon and also recording his second career touchdown on a five-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter. Kraft clearly has earned the trust of quarterback Jordan Love while logging five straight multi-catch efforts, making him a viable option in the fantasy playoffs when Green Bay travels to visit the Panthers in Week 16.

Career-high yardage total in loss
Kraft brought in all four targets for 64 yards in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night.
Analysis: The rookie came up with the longest reception of the night for either team, recording a 43-yard catch with just under nine minutes remaining in the game to jump start a drive that culminated in a Packers field goal. Kraft's reception and receiving yardage totals were both new career bests, and he'll therefore head into a Week 15 home matchup against the Buccaneers as an emerging fantasy option at a challenging position.

Gains 37 yards on six targets
Kraft had three receptions on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Kraft's six targets were good enough to finish second for Green Bay on Sunday, and his 37 receiving yards set a new season high through 12 weeks. The 23-year-old had a potential touchdown vultured when fellow rookie tight end Ben Sims scored on his only catch of one yard. Kraft will continue to start for the Packers next Monday against the Giants while starter Luke Musgrave (abdomen) mends on injured reserve for at least two more games.

Tallies first career touchdown
Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Kraft nearly picked up his first career touchdown in Green Bay's Week 11 victory over the Chargers, but he broke through Thursday, finding the end zone shortly before the first quarter came to a close. The 23-year-old has filled a complementary role for most of his rookie season, but his snaps have steadily increased, and with fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out in Week 12, Kraft started and was on the field for all but a couple plays. Musgrave will miss at least three more…read more

Team's top TE with Musgrave on IR
Kraft is set to take over as Green Bay's top tight end beginning with Thursday's game against Detroit after Luke Musgrave (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Kraft was selected 78th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, 36 picks after Musgrave. While Musgrave has played a much larger role up to this point in their respective rookie seasons, Kraft's usage in Green Bay's inexperienced tight end room has been growing. Kraft has played at least 28 snaps in each of the last three games and had a career-high 32 receiving yards in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. With Musgrave out, the team's options behind Kraft are Josiah Deguara (hip) and Ben…read more

Records career-best 32 yards
Kraft caught both his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: Kraft did not spend quite as much time on the field as he did in Week 10, but he tied his career high for receptions, set a new career best in the yardage department and was a toe on the chalk away from a long touchdown that would have been the first score of his career. Expect him to continue working as Green Bay's No. 2 tight end behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave when the Packers face the Lions on Thanksgiving.

Draws three targets in defeat
Kraft was targeted three times and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Kraft did not make much of a splash in the box score, but he did see more passes in his direction than he totaled over his first eight appearances of the season and played more than 50 percent of the snaps for the first time as a professional. The rookie has solidified his hold on the backup tight end job behind fellow first-year player Luke Musgrave, but that role isn't likely to provide much fantasy appeal.

Tallies first career receptions
Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for five yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Kraft went catchless over the first three games of his rookie season, but he recorded the first two receptions of his career in Week 4. He could see more opportunities in Week 5 if Luke Musgrave (head) is unable to go, but with the Packers going from a Thursday game to a Monday contest, Musgrave will have more time to recover than usual.

Takes field Friday
Kraft (knee) was targeted three times and caught one passes for four yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: Kraft injured his knee in practice last week, but that did not prevent him from seeing action in Green Bay's first exhibition game. Kraft entered the game in the third spot on the depth chart on Green Bay's official website, but with fellow tight end Tyler Davis going down with a knee injury that could cost him significant time, Kraft is set to move up to the second spot behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave.

Injured during practice
Kraft left practice early Saturday after sustaining a knee injury, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Kraft's injury doesn't sound serious, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, but he added that he didn't have any information. The 22-year-old is competing with fellow rookie Luke Musgrave and fourth-year pro Josiah Deguara for starting duties at tight end. Kraft now will work to get healthy and perhaps return to practice in future days.
