Week 4 Buy, Sell, or Hold
BUY Tucker Kraft | TE, Green Bay Packers
The man dubbed “Kraft YAC & Cheese” has been anything but so far in 2026. We knew production might be a little slow out of the gate with Tucker Kraft coming back from a torn ACL. I’m just not sure anyone expected numbers this lackluster.
Through three games, Kraft is sitting at TE27 in total fantasy points. Jordan Love has the second-most pass attempts in the NFL, and the Packers rank fifth in pass rate over expectation (PROE), yet Kraft has managed just nine catches for 106 scoreless yards.
The under-the-hood metrics aren’t much better. He’s averaging a measly 0.24 fantasy points per route run (TE34) and 1.15 fantasy points per target (TE37). Kraft also ranks 27th in yards per route run (1.31) and 32nd in first downs per route run (0.049), per PlayerProfiler data.
You’d think with the Packers’ run game being so dreadful that Kraft’s production would be better. Not the case, as wide receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden have been the primary beneficiaries so far.
So what gives?
Well, his knee more than likely isn’t 100% yet. That doesn’t help. Also, the Packers have asked him to block more than usual because of how abysmal their offensive line play has been. That’s not what you want your stud tight end doing, especially after you just handed him a brand-new $75-million contract extension.
I don’t understand why people are scared to start Tucker Kraft.
🔸He’s not getting benched over 2 drops
🔸He got 8 targets
🔸He only blocked on 2 pass plays
🔸Jayden Reed is still out
🔸Matchup is goodSeriously, what is the concern?

That said, you know Green Bay will figure things out offensively at some point, and we know Kraft will be a critical part of it when they do. He topped 700 yards with seven scores in 2024 and was pacing for a massive campaign last year before suffering his season-ending knee injury.
The yards after catch and explosive plays downfield will start coming soon — you want him on your roster when they do.
If you have an older vet like Mark Andrews or Juwan Johnson, see if you can pair one of them with some draft capital to move up and get Kraft. He’s too talented to stay down for long; take advantage of this buying window while you still can.
SELL Michael Wilson | WR, Arizona Cardinals
Alright, are we really going to do the whole Michael Wilson leading the league in routes run thing again? Last year was supposed to be an anomaly, given Arizona’s defensive struggles.
Well, through three games in 2026, Wilson is fifth among all wide receivers in routes run with 118, trailing only DK Metcalf (120), Tetairoa McMillan (121), Chris Olave (125), and Devaughn Vele (132).
A sizable chunk of those came last week during Arizona’s comeback attempt against San Francisco. Wilson ran 57 routes and saw an obscene 17 targets, catching 11 of them for 89 yards and a touchdown.

10.0 TGT, 79.7 YPG, 17.9 FPG— Fantasy Points Data (@FantasyPtsData) September 29, 2026
That boom game pushed Wilson’s average up to 13.4 fantasy points per game, good for WR22 on the season.
The problem, though, is that his efficiency metrics stink worse than microwaved fish. Among qualifying wide receivers, Wilson currently ranks:
- 35th in first downs per route run (0.093)
- 56th in yards per route run (1.38)
- 66th in EPA (+2.8)
- 68th in QB rating per target (69.7)
- 70th in fantasy points per target (1.30)
- 76th in Explosive Rating (80.8)
You get the point.
Wilson is being propped up almost entirely by volume, much of it coming from last week’s outburst. He’s essentially Bizarro Zay Flowers, who’s been off-the-charts efficient on a small handful of routes this year.
This was largely the case with Wilson last year, too. He ranked 39th in first downs per route run and 42nd in yards per route run in 2025, so these efficiency concerns have lingered for a while now.
Will the Volume Continue?
Seventeen targets per week obviously isn’t going to keep happening. Still, Wilson is fully entrenched in this offense and has clearly passed Marvin Harrison Jr. in the pecking order. If you think the good times will continue to roll, by all means, keep Wilson and enjoy the fantasy points.
The better move, though, might be to use this opportunity to sell.
With all the injuries happening, you might be able to find a trade partner who needs the points in their lineup and is a believer in Wilson. You won’t be able to get a 2027 first-rounder, but could you get one in 2028 or 2029? If not, two second-rounders seem fair for a guy who finished as a WR1 last season.
That could happen again this season, but I’m willing to cash out now and bet against it.
HOLD Emeka Egbuka | WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Things aren’t going well down in Tampa. The team hasn’t won a game yet, Baker Mayfield is sidelined with a thumb injury, and several of the team’s key offensive pieces aren’t producing as expected.
That includes Emeka Egbuka, the talented second-year receiver out of Ohio State.
As a rookie, Egbuka came out of the gate like gangbusters. Over his first five games, he averaged an incredible 20.5 fantasy points per game. He cooled off after that hot start, though, with a hamstring injury affecting his play down the stretch.
Expectations were high entering Year 2, especially with Egbuka moving back to the Z receiver role in Zac Robinson’s offense. Through three games, the results have been…mediocre.
The 2025 first-round pick has 13 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown. He’s averaging 10.9 fantasy points per game, good for WR32 so far. That’s not winning you any weeks, but it’s not killing you either.
Consider me whelmed.
Emeka Egbuka’s Advanced Metrics
The bigger concern is that Egbuka’s production — and dynasty value — is unlikely to rebound in the short term. Mayfield is expected to miss roughly three games with an injured thumb on his throwing hand — and that’s probably the best-case scenario.
While he’s out, rookie Jalon Daniels will be throwing passes to Egbuka. The former Jayhawk has a lively arm, but he went undrafted for a reason and is probably better known for his rushing ability than his passing prowess.
The point is: it could be a rough stretch for Egbuka and his fantasy managers. Now is not the time to sell.
If you’re looking to move him, hang tight and wait for Mayfield to get back under center. Better days should be ahead, and hopefully we see some more fantasy performances like the ones we got during that magical five-game stretch to open last season.
