Should You Start or Sit Kraft in Week 2?
Brock Bowers gets used as the top pass catcher in Vegas, and Tyler Warren seems poised to assume that role in Indy – can we get that sort of commitment to Tucker Kraft?
Probably not.
The 15-yard touchdown against the Lions last week was a dime from Jordan Love, and all of the physical tools seem to be in place for Kraft to be a weekly difference-maker, but I have zero confidence that we are going to see any concentration of targets in this offense.
The Packers were getting anything they wanted, had various WR injuries, and saw Matthew Golden make his NFL debut. All of those things were working in the favor of a consistent threat like Kraft, and he managed to earn just an 18.2% target share.
I’m comfortable starting him this week and counting on him moving forward, but the floor/ceiling math for a low-volume role has the potential to be maddening any week. For this week specifically, he slides inside my top 10 with the thought being that some of his banged-up teammates might be more limited on a short week.
