Who Should I Start? Gerald Everett or Tucker Kraft

Monday, July 22, 9:02 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Gerald Everett is being activated from the non-injury football list on Monday according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The former Charger is getting activated just in time for the start of training camp as he'll go up against Cole Kmet and Marcedes Lewis for his spot on the depth chart this year. The Bears put a lot of weapons in the passing game surrounding rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, so Everett will have a much tougher time racking up enough stats to be fantasy-relevant compared to last year.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft provided a quality game, highlighted by a touchdown catch in the team's 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 7. Kraft disappointed fantasy managers in Week 6 following the two consecutive weeks where he had been the overall TE1, but Kraft found the end zone in the second quarter for the first Packers touchdown of the game. Kraft caught 3-of-4 targets for 33 yards and a 14-yard touchdown grab that saw him lay out in the end zone to make the catch. It's a battle every week amongst the Packers' pass-catchers and with so many quality targets for quarterback Jordan Love, Kraft has been solidly involved more often than not. With the Packers heading to Jacksonville with a Week 8 matchup against the Jaguars, Kraft should be considered a low-end fantasy TE1.
