Pittsburgh defenders that attempted to tackle Kraft were simply overpowered by the 6-foot-5, 258-pound tight end as he often looked like the best player on the field when the Packers were on offense. His 143 yards on Sunday night were the best of any receiver in Week 8.

Atlanta Falcons’ Kyle Pitts Sr. and Green Bay Packers’ Tucker Kraft, along with several other top target leaders across the NFL. As we head into Week 9, it’s important to take a look back at the Week 8 target leaders.

The Browns may have lost 32-13 to the Patriots, but they did a great job honoring National Tight Ends Day. Fannin and David Njoku accounted for both of the team's touchdowns, and 99 of Cleveland's 156 receiving yards. Not bad!

Kraft then stole the show against the Steelers, catching seven passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. During the game, the NFL announced franchise history that the 24-year-old made through the first six contests, via the NFL+ social media account.

As fantasy football managers know, Week 8 was surprising for some tight ends like Jake Ferguson in the worst way, but was exactly what the doctor ordered in the case of Tucker Kraft.

Tucker Kraft helped the Packers defeat the Steelers with a career-best performance, including two touchdowns on National Tight End Day.
