Latest takes

Tucker Kraft
  • Tucker Kraft’s situation has become considerably more encouraging over the past couple of weeks. He tore his ACL in Week 9 last season after an incredible start, posting 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in just eight games.

    Ryan Kirksey· Aug 29
  • Tucker Kraft (TE – GB) Tucker Kraft returns from a torn ACL and a small meniscus injury he suffered in Week 9 last season. Training camp reports say he is moving well and looks explosive.

  • It’s easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers Trey McBride Colston Loveland Tyler Warren Kyle Pitts Tucker Kraft But what does the position look like after that top tier? Below are three tight ends you can draft in the later rounds who have the upside to finish in the top five at the position.

  • Round 11: Tucker Kraft (TE – GB) Tucker Kraft is coming off a torn ACL and is on track to play in Week 1.

  • Now we have players like Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, and Harold Fannin Jr. All of them young, talented tight ends who’ve shown high-end ceilings and are being drafted in the middle rounds.

  • The Jets have not added any talent at wide receiver that will truly threaten Wilson’s targets, and if he starts 2026 like he started 2025, he will be on pace for 150+ targets, 1,200+ yards, and 12+ touchdowns, which will make him a league-winning pick as WR19!!” – Adam Dove ( The Fantasy Couriers ) Christian Watson (WR – GB) “With Romeo Doubs gone and Tucker Kraft working his way back from injury, Christian Watson has a clear path to more targets.

  • Tucker Kraft is expected to be ready for Week 1. Let’s not forget how dominant he was before getting injured, showing incredible upside.

  • But I also like midrange TE1s such as Tucker Kraft and Kyle Pitts . And the TE position is so deep that you can spend down and still come away with George Kittle or Travis Kelce , who were considered elites at the position not long ago.

  • The impending free agent finished second among all TEs in YAC/catch – trailing only Tucker Kraft.

  • Players Trey McBride, Jake Ferguson, Tucker Kraft, and AJ Barner all made significant jumps in their second season over the past three years.

    Rich Hribar· Aug 6
  • Last year, Tucker Kraft averaged the second most fantasy points per game at 12.7

  • With only Tucker Kraft , Jayden Reed , and second-year receiver Matthew Golden , opportunities should be endless

    Kyle Zeigler· Aug 6
  • Tucker Kraft is a personal favorite of mine. Before his ACL tear last season, he was dominating the tight end position. In the eighth round in a league where the FLEX position can be used for a tight end, a duo of Warren and Kraft could be excellent.

  • If Green Bay slowly eases him in, I wouldn’t be shocked, but Kraft could easily be a monster value at the tight end position in 2026 if he comes roaring back at 100% earlier than we anticipate.

  • Last year, before losing the rest of his season to a torn ACL (Week 9), Tucker Kraft was the TE1 in fantasy points per game. In Weeks 1-8, among 33 qualifying tight ends, Kraft ranked seventh in target share (18.3%), first in receiving yards per game (67), second in yards per route run (2.71), seventh in first-read share (21.6%), and second in first downs per route run (0.121, per Fantasy Points Data). Kraft was also a YAC gawd, leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception and missed tackles forced per reception.

David Montgomery
  • For all those reasons, David Montgomery is a player I am not leaving any drafts with, especially because this potential top-12 running back can be drafted.” – Adam Dove ( The Fantasy Couriers ) Travis Etienne Jr.

  • Montgomery has played seven seasons in the NFL and has had 201 carries or more in five of them. He fell under that number in the last two seasons (185 in 2024 and 158 in 2025), but that was mostly due to how utterly unstoppable Jahmyr Gibbs is.

  • David Montgomery (RB – HOU) When Houston added David Montgomery on a two-year, $16.5 million deal to pry him away from Detroit, I was hopeful that the Texans would allow him to immediately slide into a featured role. One where he would dominate the backfield touches for the team, operating as the clear-cut No. 1 RB for the first time since his days with the Chicago Bears.

  • David Montgomery (RB – HOU) “ David Montgomery landed in a great situation in Houston! He is running behind a much-improved, revamped line.

  • In seven seasons, Montgomery only has two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. However, he has finished as a top-24 RB in six of them.

    Colt Williams· Aug 27
  • In addition to the headline question, I was asked about keeping David Montgomery for a sixth-round pick in half-PPR leagues.

  • Round 6: David Montgomery (RB – HOU) David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans, and he’ll immediately bolster their backfield.

  • It’s no surprise that David Montgomery believes he can be a lead back in the NFL and carry a full workload.

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 19
  • added much-needed help to the offensive line and a dependable lead-back in David Montgomery .

    Kyle Lesti· Aug 11
  • With the Lions losing David Montgomery , that should open up some extra touches in the offense, and Jameson can see a handful of those.” – Muntradamus ( Beast Dome ) “I like a lot of WRs in this range, so I’m going to go with one of the more affordable options in Jameson Williams , whose current ADP is at WR 25.

  • David Montgomery (RB – HOU) With a stable workload and an undervalued draft price, David Montgomery is a clear choice to draft in the middle rounds.

  • The biggest reason Gibbs should be the RB1 is that he no longer shares the backfield with David Montgomery .

    Kyle Zeigler· Aug 10
  • David Montgomery, Tyler Allgeier, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kareem Hunt, Jalen Hurts – 8 Jordan Love is the only QB in the last decade to:

  • David Montgomery (RB – HOU) At this point in the draft, I didn’t have a running back yet, so I wanted to start taking swings on players I felt had starter upside, and David Montgomery is definitely one of them

  • Last season, Montgomery bested Marks in explosive run rate, missed tackle rate, rushing success rate, yards after contact per attempt, and yards per route run. Legit, every per-touch metric that I care about. Montgomery is the superior back, even at this stage of his career, and he’ll be a strong volume-driven RB2 that could flirt with RB1 production.
