Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Tucker Kraft

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is still an intriguing dynasty option as he works his way back from a torn ACL. Kraft ranked as the overall TE1 in PPR leagues last year before suffering the season-ending injury in Week 9. He had carved out a prominent role in the Packers' offense, emerging as Jordan Love's favorite target over an uninspiring group of wide receivers. We could see Kraft have an equally large workload in 2026, especially after the Packers traded away Dontayvion Wicks and watched Romeo Doubs depart in free agency. Health is the biggest concern for Kraft, and while it seems like he should be ready for the season opener, it's unclear if the effects of his recovery will have any impact on his mobility or production. We wouldn't be surprised if he picks up right where he left off, and even if he isn't the TE1 overall, he certainly has top-five value at the tight end position going forward. Given that Kraft has tremendous upside and is just 25 years old, he's a very appealing option in dynasty fantasy football leagues. The aforementioned ACL tear has dropped his price in dynasty trade talks, so managers might be able to buy low on Kraft this offseason.
