It’a obvious after two games in the 2025 season, Jordan Love has multiple pass-catching choices to test opposing defenses.
And in a nationally televised game Sept. 11 at Lambeau Field, it was tight end Tucker Kraft’s turn to cause an array of problems for the Washington Commanders‘ secondary to solve.

In a 27-18 victory over the team that made the NFC championship game in January, Kraft caught six of seven targets and a touchdown.
It’s probably not a surprise to any Packers fan that Love looked for Kraft’s number often, but what was eye-opening was what Kraft did with those six receptions.
His total of 124 yards for the night gave Kraft an average of 20.7 yards per grab. One of his catches went for 57 yards.
Before the end of the night, Kraft had both Packers fans and fantasy football players in a state of euphoria. Kraft’s career night included the reality that he was being compared to star tight ends George Kittle and Travis Kelce on social media.
