Tucker Kraft's Fantasy Potential for 2026 After ACL Recovery

Tucker Kraft, an efficient tight end for the Green Bay Packers, is set to make an impact in the 2026 fantasy football season after recovering from a torn ACL. He was activated from the PUP list and has participated in drills, indicating readiness for Week 1.

In 2024, Kraft led all tight ends with 9.3 yards per target and averaged 14.7 PPR points per game before his injury. His target rate increased in 2025, and he maintained high efficiency after the catch, recording 10.8 yards after the catch per reception, the best among tight ends with at least 25 targets.

With key players like Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks no longer on the roster, Kraft has a significant opportunity to increase his target share. Despite a potential dip in efficiency, a larger workload could still lead to a successful season, positioning him as a top-three fantasy tight end in 2026.
