Noah Gray vs Tucker Kraft: The Full Breakdown

Tucker Kraft and Noah Gray are at different tiers heading into 2026. The Green Bay Packers tight end averaged 12.6 PPG in 2025, a full 8.0 points per game ahead of Noah Gray's 4.6 with the Kansas City Chiefs. That kind of gap doesn't close on matchup alone.

That 8.0-point weekly advantage for Tucker Kraft is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Noah Gray had 38 catches for 385 yards; Tucker Kraft posted 32 for 489. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Noah Gray has his bye in Week 6, and Tucker Kraft rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
