Should You Start or Sit Tucker Kraft in Week 6?
Have you ever been more confident through four games in a season (Week 5 bye) in a player that has one finish better than 15th at the position?
Tucker Kraft looked like one of the five best options at the position during the Week 2 beatdown of the Commanders in an island game, but he has just 16.5 PPR points since, leaving those committed to him a bit underwhelmed.
Stay the course.
He caught all five of his targets against the Cowboys in Week 4, and with a little fortune, two of them end in touchdowns.
This is still going to be a big season, potentially a very big season.
The Packers still lack a true WR1, and that is why Kraft is running a route on over 80% of Jordan Love’s dropbacks each week. Green Bay has been leveraging his YAC skills over the past two games (0.0 aDOT), and I think that elevates his floor in a serious way to complement the ceiling that comes with his ability to run those seam routes.
If the Kraft manager is willing to part ways with him at the price of anything but a lineup lock, I think you pounce and pounce fast. This buying window isn’t going to last long.
