It'll be interesting to see exactly when you wave the white flag if this (admittedly limited sample set) "every-down TE" usage holds steady.Luke Musgrave might be an every-down tight end: Musgrave took every snap with the starters.
- The Packers traditionally employ a rotation of tight ends by situation. They could still do this in the regular season, but it was noteworthy Musgrave was ahead of third-round rookie Tucker Kraft on all 11-personnel snaps.
- Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis were leading that rotation last year, but both left for the rival Chicago Bears this offseason.
- It was also noteworthy that both Musgrave and Kraft were already playing ahead of Tyler Davis, who didn’t see a single snap with the starters. Davis played 175 offensive snaps last season and 121 the year before.
- Josiah Deguara is the only other player on the roster who could impact playing time for Musgrave and Kraft.
- Deguara missed a week of training camp with a calf injury and recently returned, but the Packers still kept him out of this game.
- If Musgrave plays anywhere close to 100% of offensive snaps, he should be considered among the league’s top sleeper tight ends.

This is already abnormally high usage for a Rookie TE. The kind of usage/role we should be paying attention to as Fantasy players.Love threw 10 passes, 9 if you take away the pop pass. 3 of those passes were for Musgrave. At family night last week, there was a 3 play period where they went to Musgrave on a screen, Musgrave on a crosser, Musgrave up the seam. He is going to be a massive part of this offense.
