Who Should I Start? Tucker Kraft or Cade Stover

Monday, November 3, 12:07 PM

Tests on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a massive blow to the Packers and fantasy managers, as Kraft was in the midst of a breakout campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old former third-round pick will now finish his third year in the NFL with 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games played. Kraft was coming off a massive seven-catch, 143-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Kraft now done for the year, Luke Musgrave becomes a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of help at the TE position. Receivers Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden should also see more targets in the passing game going forward.

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover (foot) was activated from Injured Reserve this weekend and is officially active on Sunday in Week 11 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Stover will return for just his second game played this season. The 25-year-old caught all four of his targets for 22 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Stover's return will give the Texans another pass-catching option for backup quarterback Davis Mills, but he shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar in his first game back. He will continue to operate behind Dalton Schultz as Houston's primary pass-catching option at the tight end position.
