Tucker Kraft News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:15 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) could start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list this summer, but he should be "full-go" by the time the team visits the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 regular-season opener in September, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft was arguably the league's best player at the TE position in 2025 before he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9, as he had 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight starts. The 25-year-old former third-round pick (78th overall) in 2023 out of South Dakota State has looked swift while rehabbing on a side field during offseason workouts, and he said he recently hit 21.5 mph on foot. As long as Kraft doesn't suffer any sort of setbacks during training camp and the preseason, he'll be a popular breakout candidate at the TE position after his strong showing in eight games a year ago. The Packers let receiver Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, so even more targets could be coming Kraft's way in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 5 fantasy TE.

Brenton Strange News
Wednesday, June 24, 11:11 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars and standout tight end Brenton Strange agreed to a three-year contract extension on Wednesday worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. In 12 games last season, the Penn State product caught 46 passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns, and he has become a key part of quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars' offensive scheme. The 25-year-old was taken in the second round (61st overall) in the 2023 NFL draft, and he has caught 91 of his 122 targets for 986 yards and six touchdowns in 43 regular-season games (26 starts) in his three years in the league. Strange has improved a bit each year in terms of production, and even though the Jags added two rookie TEs in this year's draft, he's expected to be the unquestioned No. 1 pass-catching option at the position again in 2026. With the Jaguars potentially taking another step forward in head coach Liam Coen's offense in Year 2, Strange will be an intriguing TE2 with upside in fantasy drafts this fall. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 19 fantasy TE.
