Notches two catches in Week 15
Kraft gathered in both targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 30-13 win at Seattle.
Analysis: Kraft did most of his damage on a jump ball that he corralled for a 26-yard gain late in the second quarter, but he didn't see a target after that point, leaving him below 50 receiving yards for the fifth time in the past six games. During that span, he's mustered 15 catches for 179 yards on 21 targets, but he's salvaged two of those performances with TD catches. In an offense that has leaned toward the run most weeks since a Week 10 bye, Kraft must take full advantage of the handful of targets…read more

Another TD reception in loss
Kraft brought in three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Analysis: Kraft was second in receptions, tied for second in targets and was third in receiving yards for the Packers on a night when Jordan Love only completed 12 passes. The versatile tight end has demonstrated a knack for rattling off chunk plays throughout the season, and he recorded his sixth catch of 20-plus yards Thursday with a 21-yard grab. Kraft also tallied his career-high seventh touchdown on a 12-yard catch that capped off Green Bay's first second-half drive, and he should have opportunities…read more

Leads Packers pass catchers
Kraft recorded six receptions on seven targets for 78 yards in Thursday's 30-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Kraft had seen more limited involvement in the Packers' offense in recent games, but he led the team in targets, receptions and yards in Thursday's win. He made several big plays, including a pair of 17-yard receptions and another 16-yard catch. It was a spike performance for Kraft, but he entered Thursday's game having topped 35 receiving yards only once in his last six contests.

Grabs sixth touchdown Sunday
Kraft reeled in both of his targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 rout of the 49ers.
Analysis: Kraft was the beneficiary of one of Jordan Love's two passing touchdowns in a one-sided victory. The sophomore tight end rebounded from last week's zero-catch outing to score his sixth touchdown of the season against San Francisco. Kraft is a reasonable option for fantasy managers to consider on Thanksgiving when the Packers host the Dolphins on Thursday.

Blanked in Week 11
Kraft didn't haul in his only target during Sunday's 20-19 win in Chicago.
Analysis: The Packers logged 25 fewer offensive plays than the Bears and held possession for nearly 13 minutes less than the opposition, resulting in a season-low 17 pass attempts for QB Jordan Love in any of his eight appearances. As a result, no Green Bay pass catcher was targeted more than five times, and only Josh Jacobs (five) and Christian Watson (four) received more than three. As for Kraft, he was held without a catch for the first time in 10 games on the campaign. His next chance to get back in…read more

Four catches against Lions
Kraft recorded four receptions on six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. He added one carry for two yards.
Analysis: Kraft tied for second on the team with six targets, his highest mark since Week 4. Rainy weather affected Jordan Love's accuracy and willingness to push the ball down the field, so Kraft's yardage total was modest despite his increased role, as his longest catch went for just 13 yards. Even so, Kraft's involvement was a positive on a down day for Green Bay's offense overall.

Leading receiver Sunday
Kraft brought in all three of his targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Kraft finished as the Packers' leading receiver in a game where starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) left in the second half due to a groin injury. The 23-year-old Kraft was coming off a game where he recorded his fourth touchdown of season, bringing him up to a respectable 24/342/5 receiving line through eight games. Kraft makes for a solid play against the Lions next Sunday.

Tallies fourth touchdown
Kraft was targeted four times and caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans.
Analysis: Kraft was slowed by a groin injury last week, but he occupied his usual spot in the starting lineup Sunday and found the end zone for the fourth time in four weeks. Kraft will have a chance to keep his momentum going, as he and the Packers will next face a Jaguars defense that has been as friendly to tight ends as anyone over the last five weeks, allowing big games to Hunter Henry (8-92-0) and Cole Kmet (5-70-2) as well as TDs to Mo Alie-Cox and Dalton Kincaid.

Gains clearance to play Week 7
Kraft (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Kraft was limited in all three of Green Bay's practices during the week, but he'll give it a go Sunday. He played through the groin injury Week 6 against the Cardinals but was limited to 13 yards on four targets after racking up 141 yards and three touchdowns over the previous two games.

Remains limited Thursday
Kraft (groin) was limited at Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers are taking it easy on Kraft due to the groin injury that popped up last Thursday. He still was able to suit up this past Sunday versus the Cardinals, notching 81 percent of snaps and gathering in two of four targets for 13 yards. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not Kraft goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Limited Wednesday
Kraft (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Analysis: Kraft now has operated with a cap on his reps for three straight practices going back to last week, but the groin injury didn't affect his availability for this past Sunday's game against the Cardinals, when he handled a typical 81 percent snap share on his way to two catches (on four targets) for 13 yards. With Luke Musgrave (ankle) on injured reserve for the foreseeable future, Kraft shouldn't have any difficulty dominating the tight end reps for the Packers moving forward, but Ben Sims, John…read more

Quiet showing in big win
Kraft secured two of four targets for 13 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Packers' 34-13 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Kraft couldn't come close to replicating his stellar Week 5 production, which included a pair of touchdowns and 88 receiving yards overall. The second-year tight end does have multiple receptions in each game this season, but when the Packers' full complement of wide receivers are healthy, Kraft's production could experience some volatility.

Cleared to play
Kraft (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports.
Analysis: Coach Matt LaFleur made it clear earlier Friday that there isn't much concern, even though Kraft was added to the injury report midweek. Kraft was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, but he should get plenty of work this Sunday, especially with No. 2 tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) being placed on injured reserve. Kraft caught 10 of 14 targets for 141 yards and three TDs over the past two games, topping 80 percent snap share in both contests.

Expected to play
Coach Matt LaFleur expects Kraft (groin) to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports.
Analysis: Kraft was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, right around the same time LaFleur told reporters that TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) likely would be placed on injured reserve. Kraft had already pulled ahead of Musgrave and then put up big fantasy scores both of the past two weeks, and it seems the groin injury won't stop Kraft from making another start this Sunday against Arizona.

Dealing with groin injury
Kraft was limited at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Earlier Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur revealed that Luke Musgrave "more than likely" was destined for an IR stint, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Upon the release of their second Week 6 practice report, though, Kraft was a midweek addition with a health concern of his own. As a result, Friday's report likely will be key for Kraft's status ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Pair of touchdowns in win
Kraft recorded four receptions on five targets for 88 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Kraft was the catalyst of Green Bay's victory, as he scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions to open the second half. The first came on a long run catch and run down the left sideline that went for a 66-yard score. He followed that up with a trip to end zone from seven yards away on a screen pass. Kraft has become an integral part of the Green Bay offense, combining to command 14 targets while tallying 10 receptions for 141 yards and three touchdowns across the last two weeks.

Touchdown catch in Week 4 loss
Kraft secured six of nine targets for 53 yards and a touchdown and also lost a fumble in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.
Analysis: Kraft finished with the second-most catches on the afternoon for the Packers and established new season highs across his receiving line. He recorded his first touchdown of the season on a 13-yard grab in the fourth quarter, a play he followed up with a two-point conversion grab that brought Green Bay within six points. However, Kraft's subsequent fumble at his own 44-yard line with 4:27 remaining was costly, as his team was nine points down at the time. Kraft's increase in involvement was…read more

Officially full Thursday
Kraft (shoulder) officially practiced fully Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Analysis: Bill Huber of SI.com reported earlier Thursday that Kraft went down as a limited participant for a second consecutive day to begin Week 4 prep, but the second-year tight end actually didn't operate with a cap on his reps. Kraft thus is a bit healthier than fellow position mate Luke Musgrave (quadriceps), who was limited both Wednesday and Thursday.

Kraft (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Kraft briefly exited last week's win over the Titans on account of the shoulder issue that had bothered him heading into the game, but his ability to open Week 4 prep with a pair of limited practices rather than sitting out either or both sessions entirely suggests he's trending toward being available this Sunday versus the Vikings. In order to avoid carrying a designation into the weekend, however, Kraft may need to upgrade to full participation during Friday's practice. Kraft has outpaced…read more

Limited to start week
Kraft (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Like he was last week, Kraft is working with a red non-contact jersey in practice this week due to a shoulder issue, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Kraft handled a 67 percent snap share this past Sunday at Tennessee, and he finished a third straight game to begin the campaign with exactly two catches. Assuming he emerges with no designation upon the release of Friday's injury report, he'll again be in line to earn a majority share of Green Bay's tight-end reps Sunday against the Vikings.

Tallies two more receptions
Kraft caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Analysis: Kraft briefly left Sunday's contest with a shoulder injury, but he was able to return and finish the game. Kraft was limited in all three practice sessions last week with the same injury, suggesting it could be a lingering issue. However, he was not listed on the final injury report for Week 3, and there has not yet been any indication that his Week 4 availability is up in the air.

Kraft (shoulder) returned to Sunday's contest in Tennessee, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: After making a brief exit in the second half of Sunday's game, Kraft returned to the field and almost immediately tacked on his second catch of Week 3. He should continue to garner most of the TE reps for Green Bay, though Luke Musgrave and Ben Sims also are on hand in the event Kraft needs another breather.

Cleared despite limited practices
Kraft (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Kraft was a limited participant in all three of Green Bay's practices during the week, but he did enough to avoid an injury designation and plans to suit up Sunday. He has worked ahead of fellow second-year pro Luke Musgrave thus far in 2023, and while Green Bay hasn't utilized the tight end position much in the passing game, Kraft's ceiling would get a substantial boost if starting quarterback Jordan Love (questionable, knee) gains clearance to return after missing the previous game.

Kraft even led all skill-position players not named quarterback Malik Willis in snap share (80 percent) this past Sunday versus the Colts, but a ground-based game plan didn't result in much production (two catches for 16 yards on two targets).

Makes two catches in Week 2
Kraft caught both of his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 16-10 win against the Colts.
Analysis: The Packers went run-heavy with Malik Willis and not Jordan Love (knee) under center, rushing 53 times while Willis recorded just 14 passes. The results were meager receiving lines across the board aside from WRs Romeo Doubs (3-62-0 on three targets) and Dontayvion Wicks (3-26-1 on four targets), though Kraft again outproduced fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave (1-6-0 on one target).

Kraft caught two of three targets for 37 yards in Green Bay's Week 1 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Per Mike Clay of ESPN.com, Kraft ran 25 routes in the contest, and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave -- who didn't catch either of his two targets -- ran only eight, while Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com reports that Kraft out-snapped Musgrave on offense, 55-15.

Kraft (back) is listed as active Friday versus the Eagles in Brazil, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Kraft made a midweek appearance on the Packers' estimated injury report Wednesday as limited due to a back issue, and he remained that way at Thursday's practice before the team listed him as questionable for Week 1 action. Green Bay signaled that Kraft was going to be available by not elevating a tight end from its practice squad prior to Friday's game, and he indeed will suit up. Kraft likely will play second fiddle to fellow second-year TE Luke Musgrave to kick off the campaign.

Looking good for Friday night
The Packers didn't elevate a tight end from their practice squad before Friday's game against the Eagles, which suggests Kraft (back) is on track to play, Paul Bretl of ESPN La Crosse reports.
Analysis: Kraft is listed as questionable with a back injury, rather than the pectoral tear that kept him out of the offseason program and the early part of training camp. He was added to the injury report Wednesday after not being listed Tuesday, and it seems this is just a minor injury that's unlikely to prevent him from playing.

Kraft (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest versus the Eagles in Brazil, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Packers included Kraft on their estimated injury report Wednesday due to a back issue, which wasn't evident at Tuesday's practice. He proceeded to go through a limited session to cap Week 1 prep, and his game status now won't be confirmed, one way or another, until 90 minutes before an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Any reps that Kraft cedes in Friday's game would filter down to fellow second-year TEs Luke Musgrave and Ben Sims.

Kraft (pectoral) said Tuesday that he expects to be ready for the Packers' Week 1 game against Philadelphia, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Kraft suffered a pectoral tear early in the offseason and has been limited to individual drills at training camp since the Packers activated him from the PUP list Monday. The second-year tight end has more than a month to gear up for the season opener, and at this point, his role seems to be more of a question than his availability, as the Packers have fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave at tight end.

The second-year pro suffered a pectoral tear during the offseason, and now that he's healthy, Kraft will get a chance to compete for tight end reps with fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave, while Ben Sims and Tyler Davis figure to mix in as reserve options.

Analysis: LaFleur said the tight end has been asking every day if he can return to practice, but the Packers are known to be cautious with injuries and aren't likely to make an exception for him. Kraft suffered a pectoral tear during the offseason, after coming on strong late in 2023 when fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave missed time with a kidney injury.

Analysis: Kraft continues to make progress in his recovery from a lingering pectoral injury, which head coach Matt LaFleur has said extend into the start of training camp. The second-year tight end could have a chance to compete for a notable role if he's able to return to practice without missing time in the summer, but if he's sidelined for a lengthier period of time than expected, fellow 2023 draft pick Luke Musgrave will be in prime position to run away with the starting role.

The nature of Kraft's injury hasn't been disclosed, but he was spotted with his arm in a sling Tuesday.

Kraft recorded three receptions on six targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: It was a perplexing stat line for Kraft, as he tied for the team lead with six targets and also caught a pivotal two-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. However, he managed an abysmal 1.5 yards per target and his longest gain of the day went for only seven yards.

Analysis: Kraft and fellow tight end Luke Musgrave both garnered starts Sunday, and although Kraft played 45 snaps to Musgrave's 15, the latter made far more of an impact in the box score with three catches for 52 yards and a score.

Kraft was targeted three times and caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave returned to action Sunday after missing six games with a lacerated kidney, but Kraft remained Green Bay's starting tight end, and he played 54 snaps to Musgrave's nine. Kraft produced steadily during Musgrave's absence and caught a crucial pass late in Sunday's contest, so although Musgrave opened the season as the starter at his position, it seems likely Kraft will hold onto the job for the upcoming playoff matchup with the Cowboys.

Effective again
Kraft recorded six receptions on six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 33-10 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Kraft continued to operate as the Packers' top tight end in the absence of Luke Musgrave (abdomen). He was overshadowed by both Jayden Reed (chest) and Bo Melton in Sunday's win, but Kraft's role in the offense is secure. He has at least six targets in four of his last five games and has a minimum of four catches in four straight contests. His ceiling is limited due to Green Bay's willingness to spread targets, but so long as Musgrave remains out, Kraft is a reliable option.

Kraft was targeted six times and caught four passes for 60 yards in Sunday's 33-30 victory over the Panthers.
Analysis: It was not a huge afternoon for Kraft, but he did record four receptions and at least 57 yards for the third straight game. His role will change when fellow tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) returns, but it's unclear if that will occur in Week 17, as the Packers are being cautious with Musgrave as he works his way back from a lacerated kidney. Either way, Kraft will have his work cut out for him next week, as he and the Packers will square off against a Vikings team that just shut down Sam…read more

Finds end zone in Week 15 loss
Kraft brought in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The rookie tight end continued to enjoy a solid role in the Packers' air attack, finishing with the team's second-highest yardage tally of the afternoon and also recording his second career touchdown on a five-yard scoring grab late in the first quarter. Kraft clearly has earned the trust of quarterback Jordan Love while logging five straight multi-catch efforts, making him a viable option in the fantasy playoffs when Green Bay travels to visit the Panthers in Week 16.

Career-high yardage total in loss
Kraft brought in all four targets for 64 yards in the Packers' 24-22 loss to the Giants on Monday night.
Analysis: The rookie came up with the longest reception of the night for either team, recording a 43-yard catch with just under nine minutes remaining in the game to jump start a drive that culminated in a Packers field goal. Kraft's reception and receiving yardage totals were both new career bests, and he'll therefore head into a Week 15 home matchup against the Buccaneers as an emerging fantasy option at a challenging position.

Gains 37 yards on six targets
Kraft had three receptions on six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over Kansas City.
Analysis: Kraft's six targets were good enough to finish second for Green Bay on Sunday, and his 37 receiving yards set a new season high through 12 weeks. The 23-year-old had a potential touchdown vultured when fellow rookie tight end Ben Sims scored on his only catch of one yard. Kraft will continue to start for the Packers next Monday against the Giants while starter Luke Musgrave (abdomen) mends on injured reserve for at least two more games.

Tallies first career touchdown
Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for 15 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Kraft nearly picked up his first career touchdown in Green Bay's Week 11 victory over the Chargers, but he broke through Thursday, finding the end zone shortly before the first quarter came to a close. The 23-year-old has filled a complementary role for most of his rookie season, but his snaps have steadily increased, and with fellow rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out in Week 12, Kraft started and was on the field for all but a couple plays. Musgrave will miss at least three more…read more

Team's top TE with Musgrave on IR
Kraft is set to take over as Green Bay's top tight end beginning with Thursday's game against Detroit after Luke Musgrave (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Kraft was selected 78th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, 36 picks after Musgrave. While Musgrave has played a much larger role up to this point in their respective rookie seasons, Kraft's usage in Green Bay's inexperienced tight end room has been growing. Kraft has played at least 28 snaps in each of the last three games and had a career-high 32 receiving yards in this past Sunday's 23-20 win over the Chargers. With Musgrave out, the team's options behind Kraft are Josiah Deguara (hip) and Ben…read more

Records career-best 32 yards
Kraft caught both his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.
Analysis: Kraft did not spend quite as much time on the field as he did in Week 10, but he tied his career high for receptions, set a new career best in the yardage department and was a toe on the chalk away from a long touchdown that would have been the first score of his career. Expect him to continue working as Green Bay's No. 2 tight end behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave when the Packers face the Lions on Thanksgiving.

Draws three targets in defeat
Kraft was targeted three times and caught one pass for six yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Kraft did not make much of a splash in the box score, but he did see more passes in his direction than he totaled over his first eight appearances of the season and played more than 50 percent of the snaps for the first time as a professional. The rookie has solidified his hold on the backup tight end job behind fellow first-year player Luke Musgrave, but that role isn't likely to provide much fantasy appeal.

Tallies first career receptions
Kraft was targeted twice and caught two passes for five yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Kraft went catchless over the first three games of his rookie season, but he recorded the first two receptions of his career in Week 4. He could see more opportunities in Week 5 if Luke Musgrave (head) is unable to go, but with the Packers going from a Thursday game to a Monday contest, Musgrave will have more time to recover than usual.

Takes field Friday
Kraft (knee) was targeted three times and caught one passes for four yards in Friday's 36-19 preseason victory over the Bengals.
Analysis: Kraft injured his knee in practice last week, but that did not prevent him from seeing action in Green Bay's first exhibition game. Kraft entered the game in the third spot on the depth chart on Green Bay's official website, but with fellow tight end Tyler Davis going down with a knee injury that could cost him significant time, Kraft is set to move up to the second spot behind fellow rookie Luke Musgrave.

Injured during practice
Kraft left practice early Saturday after sustaining a knee injury, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Kraft's injury doesn't sound serious, according to head coach Matt LaFleur, but he added that he didn't have any information. The 22-year-old is competing with fellow rookie Luke Musgrave and fourth-year pro Josiah Deguara for starting duties at tight end. Kraft now will work to get healthy and perhaps return to practice in future days.
