Tucker Kraft fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 7 (2024). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Tucker Kraft for your fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start Kraft in just about all formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Despite the Packers drafting another tight end ahead of him in the 2023 NFL Draft (Luke Musgrave), Kraft has completely taken over as the team's lead tight end. The talented pass-catcher from South Dakota State has 18 receptions for 231 yards on the year with three touchdowns.
Before his final season at SDSU, Musgrave had several NIL offers to larger schools like Alabama but stayed home because he was needed on the family farm, which likely caused him to slip in the draft.
Kraft has plenty of competition for targets in a loaded Green Bay offense, but it has also provided plenty of red zone opportunities for him.
Matt LaFleur is so good it's scary.

Kraft's been tearing it up as the TE6 in fantasy, pulling in a cool 13.3% of the team’s targets, cruising at 1.79 yards per route run, and being the first option on 10.9% of the plays. Plus, he’s the go-to guy in the crunch zone, leading the squad with five red zone targets.
But this week might not be his week to shine. He’s up against a Texans' pass defense that’s pretty stingy, ranking fifth in clamping down on yards per reception and giving up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason.
