Tucker Kraft News
Thursday, July 16, 10:29 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft's (knee) 2025 season came to a premature end when he suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 9. However, the latest reporting indicates that Kraft is on track to be fully ready to go for the start of the 2026 season. The 25-year-old looked to be on his way to a breakout campaign before getting injured last year, recording 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns on 44 targets across eight games, ranking as the TE4 by per-game PPR scoring. While Kraft may not be the highest-target-volume tight end in the NFL, he averaged a ridiculously efficient 15.3 yards per reception in 2025. If Kraft gets back to full health and continues along the development arc he was on before the injury, he could have TE1 overall upside. With his current injury status, now might be the last buy-low window dynasty managers have on Kraft.

Colston Loveland News
Friday, July 3, 6:18 PM
Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland got his NFL career off to a slow start in 2025 after he was selected 10th overall out of the University of Michigan, but he eventually kicked it into high gear and finished with 58 receptions, 713 yards, and six touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (11 starts) to land as the TE12 in half-PPR scoring. At this time last year, Loveland was rehabbing an injury he sustained in his final year with the Wolverines, which forced him to miss some of the offseason program and the start of training camp. His 58 catches, 713 yards, and six TDs led the Bears, and the 22-year-old became a favorite target of quarterback Caleb Williams down the stretch. "I love what he brings to the table. He's one of the most consistent players I've been around, and that's saying a lot for a young guy, because I think it takes a while before guys can truly understand what it means to be a professional," head coach Ben Johnson said. With receiver DJ Moore now in Buffalo, Loveland should have an even bigger target share in 2026 in Year 2, and he has as much upside at the TE position as anyone. RotoBaller has Loveland ranked as the No. 3 TE for the upcoming season.
