If Tucker Kraft is out, who gets his targets?
The Green Bay Packers room absorbs +1.40 receptions, and Jonnu Smith takes the largest single share at +0.98. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.
Where the work goes
Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.
Every player in the room

|---|---|---|---|
| Christian Watson WR · 82% snaps | 4.60 | 4.67 | +0.07 |
| Tucker Kraft TE · 80% snaps | 3.70 | — | OUT |
| Matthew Golden WR · 83% snaps | 3.60 | 3.67 | +0.07 |
| Jayden Reed WR · 30% snaps | 2.00 | 2.07 | +0.07 |
| J. Michael Sturdivant WR · 24% snaps | 1.50 | 1.57 | +0.07 |

What the data says happens
Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.
| Room | Receptions gained | n | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivers | +0.107 | 2,160 | 2.29 |
| Tight ends | +0.492 | 1,024 | 9.57 |
| Backs | -0.045 | 1,259 | -0.92 |
The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
