Isaiah Likely vs Tucker Kraft
Tucker Kraft holds a 25.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR LIKELY
Likely is the cheaper bet (SF 2,030) with an easier path to beating his price if he earns a consistent route share and red-zone role. At 26.3 he’s still in the prime TE window, and any stretch of starting usage can spike weekly scoring quickly. If you’re shopping for a cost-efficient TE2 who could turn into a trade-chip with a few pop weeks, he’s the classic low-risk swing.
THE CASE FOR KRAFT
Kraft is priced like a real dynasty starter (SF 3,390) because he has the clearer runway to bankable volume and week-to-week usability. At 25.8, he fits both competitive and multi-year builds, and his market value is far more liquid if you need to pivot later. You’re paying up for stability plus the chance he cements himself as a long-term top-12 type.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Kraft—higher weekly floor and more dependable role equity is what contenders should buy.
Kraft—his value insulation and tradability beat Likely’s cheaper-but-fragile profile even for rebuilds.
Not close at a 40% market gap: take Kraft unless you specifically need to save ~1,300 in value and can tolerate the role risk.
