As Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season unfolds, fans are gearing up for an exciting NFC clash as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Green Bay Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN. The Packers, coming off a surprising 16-13 home loss to the Carolina Panthers, find themselves in a tense race for supremacy in the NFC North.
One significant development for the Packers is the increased role of tight end Luke Musgrave, especially following the unfortunate season-ending ACL injury to fellow tight end Tucker Kraft. In the game against the Panthers, Musgrave recorded a season-high three receptions for 34 yards, but the real impact of Kraft’s injury is still settling in. Kraft had emerged as the Packers’ leading receiving option, excelling in total expected points added (EPA) and yards after catch among tight end starters, making his absence felt in the offense.
As the Packers aim for a resurgence in the latter part of the regular season, Musgrave’s opportunities are expected to increase. However, the team’s strategy may shift towards a more distributed approach in the passing game, as they adapt to Kraft’s absence. This creates uncertainty around how many targets Musgrave will consistently receive, particularly with the Packers adopting an all-hands-on-deck mentality.
For fantasy football enthusiasts weighing their options in Week 10, the verdict on Musgrave is to sit him in PPR leagues due to the team’s committee approach to passing, a system that has previously favored Kraft. While Musgrave is likely to see some action, the anticipated dispersal of targets may limit his production potential. Similarly, in standard leagues, it is advisable to also sit Musgrave as the Packers recalibrate their offensive strategy.
Despite the setback with Kraft’s injury, there is a glimmer of hope for Musgrave and the Packers as they look to regroup and push forward in their season. Fans will be watching closely to see how they adjust and respond in this crucial matchup against the Eagles.
