Brock Bowers vs Tucker Kraft: Who Should You Start?
Brock Bowers (12.0 PPG) and Tucker Kraft (12.6 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Brock Bowers played 12 games for the Las Vegas Raiders; Tucker Kraft suited up 8 times for the Green Bay Packers.
A 0.6-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Brock Bowers is the volume tight end in this matchup with 64 receptions for 680 yards, while Tucker Kraft profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (6 scores on 32 catches). In weeks where Tucker Kraft finds the end zone he out-scores Brock Bowers, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 10 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
