The Green Bay Packers suffered a significant loss in Week 9 as their star tight end and focal point in the passing game, Tucker Kraft, suffered a torn ACL. Kraft was second on the team for receptions with 32, only behind Romeo Doubs(34). He had a target share of 18.8% which doubles inside the red zone at 36.7%

This injury opens the door for backup tight end Luke Musgrave or another receiver to show they have what it takes to keep the Packers atop a tough NFC North division, or for a trade to be made for a playoff push. The news is not only devastating to the Packers, who relied so heavily on Kraft’s yards-after-the-catch ability, but also leaves fantasy managers in a panic, as he was in the middle of a breakout season and cementing himself as a top tight end option in all formats.
