2024 Fantasy Outlook
Musgrave’s coming off an up-and-down rookie season. The 2023 second-round pick out of Oregon State started nine of the 11 regular-season games in which he appeared, but Musgrave missed six games due to a lacerated kidney and finished with just 34 catches for 352 yards and one touchdown on 46 targets. He added 66 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games, though most of that production came courtesy of a 38-yard score on a blown Dallas coverage. The Packers drafted Tucker Kraft one round after Musgrave in 2023, and Kraft had three more yards and one more touchdown during the regular season, so the pair of young tight ends will likely continue to cut into each other’s production at a position that isn’t heavily utilized in Green Bay’s passing game to begin with. Musgrave’s 6-foot-6, 253-pound frame allows him to excel as a blocker, but the burly tight end scored only two touchdowns in 34 college games, so his track record suggests he’s unlikely to turn into a major red-zone weapon for Jordan Love.

Concludes with three catches
Musgrave was targeted four times and caught three passes for 14 yards in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Musgrave showed his upside with a 52-yard, one-score showing in Green Bay's playoff opener at Dallas, but he did not make as much noise in the finale. The rookie second-rounder put his potential on display several times early in the season before missing six games due to a lacerated kidney. He returned in a reserve role Week 18 behind fellow rookie Tucker Kraft, but Musgrave did play ahead of Kraft prior to that. The two figure to compete for the top spot over the offseason, but regardless of how things shake out, expect both to factor heavily in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To IR with serious injury
Musgrave was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to the lacerated kidney he suffered versus the Chargers in Week 11, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie was originally believed to have suffered an abdominal injury, but the specifics of the issue are of an even more serious nature. Although Musgrave will be eligible to return after four games, Demovsky notes there's no guarantee the tight end will be able to play again this season. Musgrave actually finished the game against the Chargers and later reported the injury to the team's medical staff.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Packers needed a tight end in the 2023 Draft as much as any team, and they didn't wait long to snag one, picking up Musgrave in the second round. A knee injury limited him to just two games last season, but he was healthy by the NFL Combine and graded out extremely well athletically. Musgrave lacked meaningful production at Oregon State, but he did record at least 80 yards in three of his last four collegiate appearances, so Green Bay may have found a diamond in the rough. Given where he was selected and the fact Josiah Deguara is the most proven TE on the roster, Musgrave has a chance to open the season as the Packers starter at the position.
