Tucker Kraft
vs Parker Washington

“Kraft is still only 10 months removed from ACL surgery after tearing it in mid-November 2025. Even with that, he has seen a 63% route share over the past two weeks. While that is just outside the top 10 tight ends in usage, I expect his role to continue growing as the year goes on.”

“With Christian Watson and Matthew Golden dominating targets from Jordan Love – the pair have accounted for 50% of team targets at all positions – it is hardly surprising that Kraft has been left to pick up scraps as the clear third option in this Green Bay passing game. Sure, he may still be recovering from that torn ACL…but all reports heading into the season were that he was 100% good-to-go; so I am not buying it. Contrast this with Kelce and his almost sickening chemistry with Mahomes, and it looks as if Zeus could once again be near the summit of the TE mountain come the fantasy playoffs.”

“TE Tucker Kraft vs ATL If you have Kraft, make sure he is in your lineup tonight against Atlanta. The ramp-up happened quickly off the ACL injury, with Kraft’s snap involvement going from 66% in week one to 98% last week. The Packers’ offense struggled to get much of anything going last week, but the consensus seems to be that Kraft’s usage (or lack thereof) might have been the problem.”

“Given his current cost, Tucker Kraft is my favorite tight end to target this season, compared to the options ahead of him.”

“Christian Watson and Jayden Reed were given extensions, Tucker Kraft is back healthy, and first-round receiver Matthew Golden is entering his sophomore season.”

“In their one tight matchup against the Broncos, Washington earned 12 targets. Liam Coen loves to utilize his slot receivers, as we’ve seen in prior seasons with Cooper Kupp and Chris Godwin . All signs point to Washington following in their footsteps.”

“Additionally, among 81 wide receivers with at least 75 routes run, Washington is tied for seventh in targets per route run (0.28), 11th in air yard share (40.7%), tied for 27th in red-zone targets (three), tied for 18th in end-zone targets (two) and 19th in expected half-PPR points per game (11.24). If Washington can be acquired as a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3, he’s an appealing buy-low. DJ Moore isn’t for everyone, but gamers with a 3-1 or 4-0 record should kick the tires.”

“After last week’s surprising dud, Parker Washington is the WR23 in fantasy points per game. Last week, Washington had only a 13% target share and a 14.3% first-read share as Trevor Lawrence was locked onto Brenton Strange . In the three previous weeks, Washington was the team’s unquestioned alpha with a 27.2% target share, 3.25 YPRR, 0.132 FD/RR, and a 32.8% first-read share.”

““ Parker Washington is my favorite buy-low after his one-catch, seven-yard game against Cincinnati. He remains my WR12 for the rest of the season. Jacksonville attempted only 23 passes, and I expect Washington’s involvement to rebound.”

“Washington has drawn defensive attention the past two weeks. After target shares of 28.6% and 41.4% to open the season, Washington has seen 18.5% and 13% of targets over the past two games. The Bengals used DJ Turner to match up with Washington on his snaps outside and bracket coverage when he moved inside.”

“Before Sunday, Washington was the WR10 in total PPR points, so I’m not letting one three-target clunker erase everything we’ve seen. He had a 39-yard reception overturned, which would have made this conversation considerably less interesting. Sometimes good fantasy players have bad games; no need for panic.”

“Washington has the 14th-highest receiving yards total (61.5) and a receptions total of 4.5. Hunter Henry | TE, New England Patriots Sportsbook Rank: TE10 Expert Consensus Rank: TE20 The Patriots’ offense has struggled to get going against two tough defenses. Both the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers posed problems for the reigning AFC champs.”

“Parker Washington is a cash play at the exact same $6,000 salary and projects for 15.15 points at 21.73% pOwn, while Tet comes in at 14.61 and only 9%. We are giving up only 0.54 projected points and a ton of ownership without sacrificing anything else in the lineup. Projection: 14.61 DK points at 9% pOwn, with a 28-point ceiling.”

“Washington is second in the NFL in target share and third in air yards (37%) through two weeks.”
