BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave has seen at least four targets in all but three games this season. He has just one touchdown on the season, but the Packers' pass game seems to be getting better each week.
Musgrave had strung together back-to-back good games. He had 51 yards in Week 9, which was a career-high. Then, in Week 10, he had 64 yards, setting a new career high. He wasn't able to make it three weeks in a row, but his utilization continued to be excellent. He finished this past weekend with five targets. He caught four of them for 28 yards.
He has seven games with at least four targets, six games with at least three receptions, and four games with at least 45 yards. He has five games with more than five half-PPR points. The Packers offense, specifically Jordan Love, has played much better over the past three weeks and if that continues, Musgrave's utilization could finally start leading to more production. He's routinely running a route on 70-75% of the team's dropbacks.
He has the size, speed, and athleticism to create big plays, which cannot be said about most tight ends. If Love and this young Packers' offense can continue clicking, Musgrave could become a solid streamer down the stretch. One of the things that will continue to hold him back, however, is the number of pass-catchers the Packers have. Not that any of them are elite or even very good, but between Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks, it'll be hard for Musgrave to provide consistent production and fantasy value.
