Tucker Kraft Should be "Full-Go" by Week 1

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.

Colston Loveland News

Colston Loveland's Arrow Pointing Firmly Up Going into Year 2

Wednesday, June 10, 9:52 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is considered a top-five fantasy player at his position as he heads into his sophomore season in the NFL. The former first-rounder (10th overall) out of the University of Michigan last year got off to a slow start in his rookie campaign, but he eventually became a big part of Chicago's passing attack and finished with 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season. The 6-foot-6, 241-pound 22-year-old then added eight catches for 137 yards and a two-point conversion in a playoff win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers. Loveland impressed everyone in the organization in 2025 with his talent and drive, but according to The Athletic's Dan Wiederer, Loveland believes he has a lot to improve on. "It's watching the tape and knowing, like, it was good for a rookie," Loveland said, "but it's not going to be good enough for a second-year or third-year guy." He believes he can specifically improve as a blocker in the running game. As Loveland's chemistry with QB Caleb Williams improves this offseason, he becomes a more attractive high-end TE1 target in fantasy drafts this year.
