STACKED’s take
Loveland's late-season elite efficiency (25.6% target share, 17.2 PPR/game) projects to TE1 contention.
Loveland finished TE15 in fantasy points per game in 2025 due to a part-time role for most of the season, but exploded in Weeks 16-20 as the Bears' WR1 with a 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, 34% first-read share, 0.116 first downs per route run, and 17.2 PPR points per game. If those numbers held over a full season, he would have ranked first in target share, first in receiving yards per game, fourth in yards per route run, first in first-read share, and fourth in first downs per route run among tight ends with 20+ targets—beating both Trey McBride's 2025 and Brock Bowers' 2024 in nearly every category. The source projects Loveland could easily compete with Bowers and McBride for the TE1 crown in 2026, with D.J. Moore gone and only Rome Odunze and Luther Burden competing for targets.
