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.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The rookie returned to the field last week after missing the previous six games due to a kidney laceration and is expected to have a significant role this weekend after being left off of the final injury report. Tucker Kraft did an admirable job filling in for Musgrave. However, that role will decrease with the 23-year-old even closer to 100% this weekend. Dallas is not the matchup to capitalize on, though, as they ranked top-five in fantasy points allowed to tight ends this season. With so many mouths to feed in Green Bay, Musgrave will be a risky option in DFS tournaments this weekend.

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) said the entire point of the Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears was for him to go through the process and have something to build on for the first week of the postseason. In his return from a kidney laceration that knocked him out for six games, Musgrave played only 15 percent of the offensive snaps and caught his only target for an 11-yard gain. He said he felt good and should be fully back this Sunday to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round. The 23-year-old should be more involved on Sunday, but it still might not be enough for DFS gamers to chase him as a low-cost option at the position. The fact that the Packers might have all of their wideouts available for this one, Christian Watson (hamstring) included, is another factor going against Musgrave.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of Week 18. This is great news for the Packers as they will get back their rookie tight end before their must-win game against the Chicago Bears. Musgrave has been sidelined since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney. His return means that fellow tight end Tucker Kraft won't see as much involvement in the offense. Musgrave could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option given how banged up the Packers are on offense. The assumption is that Musgrave will be back to his every-down role.

Jan 5 3:20pm ET

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't played since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney, but he has been practicing on a limited basis the last two weeks and could be activated from IR on Saturday in order to help the Packers in a must-win game on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The 23-year-old second-rounder had 33 receptions on 45 targets for 341 yards and one touchdown in his first 10 NFL games before getting hurt, but if he is activated and is eligible this weekend, fantasy managers should expect him to be eased into the offense. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has been adequate as the team's pass-catching tight end the last six weeks with Musgrave sidelined.

Jan 4 3:50pm ET

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said there's a possibility that rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) comes off Injured Reserve to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. "I'd say it's realistic, yes," LaFleur said. Musgrave put in another limited practice on Thursday, but he might need to upgrade to a full practice to convince the Packers to activate him from IR on Saturday in order to play on Sunday in a must-win game. A lacerated kidney has kept the 23-year-old out since Week 11, so even if he returns, he could be eased back onto the field. On top of it, fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft has been holding down the fort nicely at the position with 23 catches for 281 yards and two touchdowns in six games with Musgrave sidelined. Musgrave's return would muddy Green Bay's TE situation for fantasy managers.

Jan 3 8:00pm ET

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney), who remains on Injured Reserve, was listed as limited in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Musgrave was also limited in practices last week before picking up a doubtful tag before the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old is recovering from a lacerated kidney that he suffered in Week 11, so he's likely going to need to put in a full practice later this week to be cleared to play in a must-win game this Sunday in Week 18 against the division-rival Chicago Bears. Even if the 23-year-old is able to play this weekend, he'll be a risky choice for fantasy lineups while likely being eased in. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has stepped up in Musgrave's absence and has a decent 18 catches (22 targets) for 229 yards and one touchdown in the last four weeks.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) is listed as doubtful to be activated from Injured Reserve to play in Sunday night's game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The Packers designated Musgrave to return from Injured Reserve this week and he got back to a few limited practices, but he's not expected to play this weekend and might also be kept out for the Week 18 regular season finale next Sunday against the Chicago Bears. With Musgrave and receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) doubtful to play against the Vikings and with rookie wideouts Jayden Reed (toe) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) up in the air to play, rookie tight end Tucker Kraft could see his fair share of targets in Week 17, putting him on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Dec 28 11:30pm ET

Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) put in his second straight day of limited practice on Thursday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve but is trying to get himself ready to return for the tail end of the 2023 regular season. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a lacerated kidney in Week 11. Musgrave is hoping to come off Injured Reserve in order to play in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, but he might need to put in a full practice before that happens. If the rookie does return this weekend, fantasy managers will want to stay away from him with championships on the line in their leagues. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has been a decent TE2 streamer in deeper leagues in recent weeks with Musgrave sidelined.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) got in a limited practice on Wednesday ahead of his team's Week 17 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Musgrave injured his kidney back in Week 11 and hasn't played since but his ability to get in a limited session on Wednesday is a positive sign for the rookie tight end moving forward. Stay tuned to Musgrave's practice participation for the remainder of the week. His return to action would put a dent in Tucker Kraft's production.

Dec 22 2:50pm ET

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers. He remains on injured reserve and will miss his fifth consecutive game. This was widely expected, and Week 17 appears to be a much more realistic return date for the rookie. Until he's back, the Packers will deploy fellow rookie Tucker Kraft as their top tight end.

Dec 21 1:30pm ET

The Green Bay Packers opened rookie tight end Luke Musgrave's (kidney) 21-day practice window to be activated from Injured Reserve on Thursday. It comes a little more than a month after he suffered a lacerated kidney. The Packers now have 21 days to officially activate Musgrave from Injured Reserve. Musgrave won't actually practice on Thursday with the team, but he went through stretching. The 23-year-old is making progress but almost certainly will not be activated to return this Sunday when the team faces the Panthers on the road in Carolina. Before his injury, Musgrave had 33 catches for 341 yards and a touchdown in 10 games as the team's top pass-catching tight end. Until he returns, fellow rookie Tucker Kraft will hold down the fort at TE in Green Bay. Kraft has 13 catches on 18 targets for 173 yards and two TDs in the four games that Musgrave has missed.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt La Fleur said he doesn't know if rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) will be able to play again this year, but he isn't ruling him out and credits Musgrave's toughness. The Packers placed Musgrave on Injured Reserve after he suffered a lacerated kidney in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The earliest he can return will be Week 16, so fantasy managers in single-year formats can probably drop him if you haven't already. Josiah Deguara (hip) didn't play in the Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions either, allowing rookie Tucker Kraft to play 96% of the offensive snaps on Thanksgiving. Kraft had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown against Detroit and should have an expanded pass-catching role in Musgrave's absence the rest of the way.

Dynasty | The Packers placed tight end Luke Musgrave on IR. Dynasty Analysis: Musgrave lacerated his kidney but stayed in the game for additional snaps before eventually coming out. The rookie has been a bright spot for the Packers, developing quickly and operating as the TE1. He'll miss the next four games, an absence that will open the door for fellow rookie Tucker Kraft. Musgrave is found as DLF's TE16 and should retain his value as long as he returns to his TE1 role in week 16.

Dynasty | Packers rookie tight end Tucker Kraft will draw the start in week 12 due to Luke Musgrave being placed on IR. Dynasty Analysis: Kraft, a third-round selection this season, had been on the rise into the NFL Draft and the Packers used two selections on the position. The team utilizes a tight end friendly system which could open the door to production for the rookie. Listed as DLF's TE36, it's hare to imagine Kraft retaining the starting role following Musgrave's return in week 16, but as this year has shown, anything is possible.

Nov 22 2:30pm ET

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after suffering a lacerated kidney in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie tight end will be required to miss at least the next four games. In his absence, fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft will be elevated to the TE1 role. Kraft has played 31.6% of the team's offensive snaps thus far, while third-year tight end Josiah Deguara (hip) has posted a 22.7% snap share. Kraft is worth monitoring against the Detroit Lions in Week 12, but for now, he should remain on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) will not play against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. The rookie tight end suffered a lacerated kidney in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers and spent time in the hospital this week. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, Musgrave can not travel with the team to Detroit, so he will not play. In his absence, fellow rookie tight end Tucker Kraft should see an increased role. Veteran tight end Josiah Deguara (hip) did not practice on Monday or Tuesday. Even so, Kraft is a risky fantasy option. He should only be utilized in deep tight end premium formats.

Nov 21 9:30pm ET

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is dealing with an abdominal injury and was released from a Green Bay hospital on Tuesday. Musgrave appeared to emerge from Week 11 without any issues but head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters on Tuesday that Musgrave was dealing with a "significant injury". No further details were offered at the time but fantasy managers have since learned that Musgrave suffered some sort of abdominal injury that required hospitalization. At the moment it seems unlikely that Musgrave will be ready to take the field on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions, although he does have one more chance to get in a practice on Wednesday. If Musgrave doesn't end up taking the field, fellow rookie Tucker Kraft would take over as the No. 1 tight end in Week 12.
