Tucker Kraft Still in Search of a Return to Form

Thursday, October 1, 9:13 AM

After opening the season with a three-catch, 65-yard performance that was good enough to make him the TE16 on the week, Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has turned in back-to-back quiet outings, and he has fallen to TE32 for the year. After an ACL tear ended his breakout 2025 campaign, Kraft came into the season with rumblings of a pitch count, but he has shown no signs of limitation in handling a 79% snap share and ranking ninth among tight ends with 17 targets. Unfortunately, his chemistry with quarterback Jordan Love has been lacking, with the two connecting on only 52.9% of those targets. Kraft's two drops in three games are already one shy of his total from a season ago, and while his 10.8 yards after catch helped make him a dominant force in 2025, that number has fallen to 5.6 yards per catch on a limited 2026 sample. While he will need to prove he still belongs in the weekly TE1 discussion, Kraft has a plus matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 4 and is RotoBaller's TE10.

Brenton Strange an Intriguing TE2 Option in Favorable Week 4 Matchup

Saturday, October 3, 12:40 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has gotten off to a quiet start to the 2026 season, recording seven catches for 72 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets across three games. The Jaguars' talented wide receiver corps makes it difficult for Strange to see consistent target volume. However, the 25-year-old is coming off a season-high five targets in his team's Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Strange could be poised for his best game of the season in Week 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals' defense has struggled to defend the pass so far this season, ranking 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (863) through three weeks. Cincinnati's potent offense could also turn this game into a track meet and force the Jaguars into a pass-heavy game script. Strange's lack of target volume so far makes him hard to rely on, but he profiles as an intriguing TE2 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.
