Luke Musgrave's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave was the clear leader in the tight end room last season until he suffered a kidney laceration that put him on the shelf until Week 18. Whether Musgrave can retain that heavy snap and route utilization in Week 1 remains to be seen, but this week, Musgrave is more of a streaming option at tight end than a locked-in starter for fantasy purposes. Musgrave was just TE22 in fantasy points per game from Weeks 1-10 last season and he wasn't super useful in fantasy with just two weeks as a TE1. Tucker Kraft (back) may miss Week 1 for the Packers, leaving Musgrave as the lone realistic option for the Packers to run the majority of routes. Even then, the expectations for Musgrave should be tempered against an Eagles team that will keep opposing offenses in front of them with Vic Fangio's two-deep shell.

Green Bay Packers tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft can elevate the offense to the next level, according to tight ends coach John Dunn. "I think in terms of the creativity, it's limitless," Dunn told the media on Wednesday. Musgrave and Kraft were both members of the 2023 draft class and impressed in their own roles throughout last season. Musgrave was the Packers' top tight end for their first 10 games before a lacerated kidney caused him to miss six weeks. With Musgrave sidelined, Kraft emerged as one of Jordan Love's favorite targets, averaging four catches and 47 yards per game. When Musgrave returned in Week 18, he caught one pass for 11 yards while Kraft tallied three receptions for 31 yards. Long story short, Green Bay feels confident that it has two talented, young, impactful playmakers at the tight end position and is prepared to utilize them both in creative ways throughout the 2024 season. Until we get more clarity on their respective roles, they both rank as fringe top-24 options at the tight end position in fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave caught three of four targets for 14 yards during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie actually had fewer targets than backup and fellow rookie Tucker Kraft but ended the night with more receiving yards. It brings an end to a solid rookie campaign from Musgrave. While he missed a six-game stretch at the end of the year due to a kidney laceration, the 23-year-old stepped right back into the starting role when he returned and immediately impacted the team's Wild Card win over the Dallas Cowboys. With so many mouths to feed in Green Bay, Musgrave will be tough to trust in fantasy as the lone option for any manager. However, he will remain a weekly streaming candidate off the waiver wire and carries more value in dynasty formats as a part of one of the best up-and-coming offenses in the league.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers during the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The rookie made a splash last week on a wide-open catch and run for a score. The catch made headlines all week because of how open Musgrave was, but don't expect the 49ers to leave him all alone in the Divisional Round. San Francisco ranked in the top 10 in points allowed to tight ends this past regular season, but there is a silver lining. The 49ers allowed the 11th-most receptions to the position, meaning Musgrave has a shot at a decent game if he can see enough targets. The Packers receiver room is completely healthy, so there is more competition for targets, but at his price in DFS, Musgrave is not a complete avoid this weekend.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave caught all three of his targets for 52 yards and a touchdown during the team's 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie expected to see his role increase this week after being removed from his kidney laceration another week, and he did not disappoint when his number was called. His 38-yard catch and run for a touchdown late in the third quarter put the Packers up 41-16 and gave Jordan Love his second touchdown pass of the game. Tucker Kraft also had a role in this game, but Musgrave was the more featured receiver and will remain the starter. The 23-year-old will look to stay hot on the road next week against San Francisco.
