Tucker Kraft has looked to be a fantastic pickup off the waivers for much of the fantasy community. Despite Romeo Doubs coming back from his one game suspension, Kraft's outlook is looking good against a weak cardinals defense.
The Love / Kraft Connection
Jordan Love and Tucker Kraft have built an unbelievable connection within the last two weeks. Tucker Kraft is currently 2nd in the league in yards after catch per reception among all all qualified players, not just tight ends. While Kraft is getting a sizeable target share, he is also extremely efficient with the ball.
The return of Romeo Doubs
Romeo Doubs complained about not having a big enough role which led to a one game suspension given to him by the Packers organization. Doubs is set to return this week, but this shouldn't lead to Kraft no longer being startable. Doubs hurts Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks more than Kraft. While we should expect a reduced workload, it won't be significant.
Back to Back TE1
Tucker Kraft has been the tight end 1 in the past two weeks. This week is looking great to make that three in a row. The Arizona Cardinals have allowed at least 9 points per game to tight ends in the last three weeks in a row. Even if he does not put up 15+ numbers, you will still get a reliable 8-12 points at the minimum.
With the tight end position being significantly weaker this year, Kraft is a must start in your lineups!
