Fellow second-year tight end Luke Musgrave missed most of the regular season due to an ankle injury, allowing Kraft to blossom in the lead role. Kraft capitalized on his opportunity with 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns on 70 targets.

Kraft recorded two catches on three targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings. Kraft saw limited opportunity in the close loss but made the most of his targets. He accounted for Green Bay's two longest plays from scrimmage with 35- and 18-yard receptions to finish second on the team in yardage.
