Should You Start or Sit Tucker Kraft in Week 13?
Tucker Kraft capped an impressive first drive for the Packers last weekend against the 49ers with a score (his sixth of the season), but the production was gone as quickly as it came. The second-year tight end finished with just two catches for 26 yards and has now been held under 35 receiving yards in five of his past six games.
Kraft was unable to earn targets at a reasonable rate despite Romeo Doubs (concussion) departing early and San Francisco having to fully commit to plug the run game. He’s been on the field for 85.2% of Green Bay’s offensive snaps this season, and with this Black Friday game pushing a 48-point total, I understand the thought process that will get you to label Kraft as a viable option.
However, Kraft sits just outside of my top 15 this week with all 32 teams in action, given a role that simply isn’t consistent enough for my liking. I’ll take Jonnu Smith over him if we are picking tight ends to bet on in this game.
