Theo Johnson vs Tucker Kraft: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Theo Johnson and Tucker Kraft for your lineup, you are not alone. Theo Johnson finished the 2025 season at 7.0 PPG for the New York Giants (15 games), and Tucker Kraft averaged 12.6 for the Green Bay Packers (8 games).
That 5.6-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. Theo Johnson had 45 catches for 528 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.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Theo Johnson sits Week 11 while Tucker Kraft is off Week 10. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
