Tucker Kraft Takes a Backseat in Packers' Big Week 9 Win

Sunday, November 8, 5:21 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft caught just one of his three targets for one receiving yard during Sunday's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots. He also rushed for eight yards on two carries. The Packers' passing game had a fantastic performance on Sunday, but Kraft wasn't able to join in on the excitement. This was an uncharacteristically quiet game from Kraft, who had been averaging 11.1 PPR points per game entering Week 9. Sunday's game certainly showed that the Packers can win games by just throwing the ball to their wide receivers, as Christian Watson and Matthew Golden combined for 17 catches, 335 yards, and two touchdowns. However, Kraft has the talent to be a steady component of this passing game, and so we'd expect him to bounce back as a solid TE1 option in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Mason Taylor Offers PPR Streaming Value Against Kansas City

Saturday, November 7, 6:49 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (back) has drawn at least 5 targets in three straight games and could see more work Sunday at Kansas City with Garrett Wilson (concussion) out. Taylor practiced fully Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday and carries no game designation. His 5 catches for 62 yards and 2 touchdowns against Miami in Week 7 were followed by 3 catches for 19 yards against Las Vegas. The Chiefs have allowed 48 catches, 459 yards and 5 touchdowns to tight ends in seven games, a matchup that puts Taylor in play as a streamer in 12-team PPR leagues. Denver tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins combined for 4 catches, 34 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City in Week 8, while Evan Engram went catchless on 3 targets. New York also rotates at the position. Taylor drew 5 targets to Kenyon Sadiq's 2 against Las Vegas, but their playing time was closer, with Taylor logging 39 offensive snaps and Sadiq playing 31. That target edge gives Taylor a better chance to help PPR managers even if the two continue to share playing time.
