Episode notes
‘Not Season Ending’ Often Means Short Absence
- Tucker Kraft's knee issue is framed as 'not season ending,' which often means short‑term absence rather than playing this weekend.
- That ambiguity forces fantasy managers to prefer readily rostered TE options instead of banking on a wait‑and‑see update.
Prefer Proven TEs Over Musgrave If Kraft Misses
- If Tucker Kraft misses time, prioritize tight ends with clear roles like Chigoziem Okonkwo or Dalton Schultz over Luke Musgrave.
- Don't assume Musgrave will inherit Tucker's ceiling; prefer proven route participation and target share.
Add Cade Otton If Igbuka Is Out
- If Emeka Igbuka misses time, move Cade Otton up the depth chart as he performed when Evans/Godwin were out last year.
- Add Otton to rosters in shallow leagues where Bucs WR injuries reduce targets for others.
