Should You Start or Roster Luke Musgrave?

The efficiency case is real and the volume case is broken. Across 13 games in 2025 Musgrave posted a 0.327 EPA per play and a 58.1% success rate while catching 77.4% of his targets, yet he ran routes on barely 40% of snaps and drew just 31 looks for a 6.7% target share. One red-zone target and zero touchdowns underline the problem: when the ball comes his way he produces, but Green Bay rarely points it there.\n\nThat snap profile has trended the wrong direction since his promising 2023 rookie line (46 targets, 65% snap rate), with injuries repeatedly stalling momentum. A crowded tight end room and a hard projected schedule cap the ceiling further, and modest 2026 forecasts near 20 catches and 200 yards reflect a clear backup role. He is a deep-league dart throw at best until the usage says otherwise.

Musgrave has averaged 4.0 fantasy points per game over 34 games and 3 seasons, without a top-12 finish. The average hides two careers: 6.8 a game in his one season with a starter's volume, 2.6 in the two without it.

In 2025 he averaged 3.1 per game, up 1.4 from 2024. His volume has held at about 1.9 targets a game, so the change is efficiency and scoring. His quarterback in 2025 was Jordan Love.

Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

The efficiency case is real and the volume case is broken. Across 13 games in 2025 Musgrave posted a 0.327 EPA per play and a 58.1% success rate while catching 77.4% of his targets, yet he ran routes on barely 40% of snaps and drew just 31 looks for a 6.7% target share. One red-zone target and zero touchdowns underline the problem: when the ball comes his way he produces, but Green Bay rarely points it there.\n\nThat snap profile has trended the wrong direction since his promising 2023 rookie line (46 targets, 65% snap rate), with injuries repeatedly stalling momentum. A crowded tight end room and a hard projected schedule cap the ceiling further, and modest 2026 forecasts near 20 catches and 200 yards reflect a clear backup role. He is a deep-league dart throw at best until the usage says otherwise.
