STM Take

Kraft at STTM #1 tier 1 in 2025 closes his third straight tier-1 jump (tier 7 rookie, tier 1 in 2024 and 2025). The 8 games played in 2025 mean the per-game rate is what carries him; he averaged double-digit PPR in nearly every appearance. Jordan Love's tier-2 QB rank finally paired with the right TE; the 15 career TDs on 113 catches is a 13 percent rate.

Kraft was born in Timber Lake, South Dakota and played at South Dakota State, where he won the 2022 FCS national title and earned two-time FCS All-American honors. Green Bay took him 78th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. Career line is 113 catches for 1,551 yards and 15 receiving TDs across three seasons.

Strengths

  • Career 15 receiving TDs on 113 catches is one of the highest TD rates at the position.
  • Two straight tier-1 finishes and a 33.3 PPR Week 8 ceiling; the per-game floor is league-leading.

Concerns

  • Only 8 games played in 2025; the season-long sample is half what other TE1s posted.
  • Pre-2024 line was STTM #25 tier 7 as a rookie; the breakout is a two-year stretch off a quiet start.

What to watch: Whether Kraft plays 17 games in 2026; the per-game rate would lock the position's TE1 conversation outright.
