Luke Musgrave 2023 NFL Player Outlook: Low Floor Starter In Rookie Season
2 years agoGreen Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave was selected with the No. 42 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, and with third-round tight end Tucker Kraft set to be his only legitimate competition at the position, he should be a day-one starter. However, Musgrave only caught 47 passes for 633 yards and two touchdowns in 20 career games at Oregon State, so he could take time to develop as a real pass-catching weapon. He has off-the-charts athleticism, but the tight end spot is one of the trickiest transitions from college to the NFL. Additionally, Jordan Love is an unknown commodity at quarterback, so Musgrave's 2023 fantasy outlook is murky. The 22-year-old has had an impressive training camp, showcasing his speed and pass-catching ability. He locked in as Green Bay's TE1 Musgrave is expected to see the lion's share of tight targets in 2023. Musgrave is going around the TE30-34 spot in preseason drafts, so he won't be selected in shallow leagues. He's worth a flier in the later rounds in deep-league and tight end premium formats.
