Who Should I Start? Tucker Kraft or Miller Forristall

Saturday, September 7, 1:01 AM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had a pretty quiet night in the stat sheet in the Packers' 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paulo on Friday night. Kraft caught 2-of-3 targets for 37 yards, but the story is that Kraft was the TE1 in snaps and routes well over presumptive starter Luke Musgrave. Per Nathan Jahnke of PFF, Kraft dominated routes per dropback 30-8 and also in snaps as Kraft ran all but three snaps. Even if Kraft's utilization going forward remains as it was in Week 1, Kraft is still a streaming option if you need a tight end, not as somebody you need to plug into fantasy lineups immediately. Of course, there's the Jordan Love aspect, as Love left the game with an undisclosed lower-body injury. If Love plays in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts, Kraft is a mid-range fantasy TE2 with volume-based upside.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Miller Forristall hauled in three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Sunday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught the game-winning TD pass from Stetson Bennett late in the game as the Rams won 13-12. Forristall, a 26-year-old Alabama product, was the leading Rams tight end in the preseason contest on Sunday. As Tyler Higbee works back from a torn ACL, Forristall is behind Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen on the current unofficial depth chart. This performance should help him but he still has work to do to earn regular season reps.
