From the article

Loveland has played 86.4% of his team's offensive snaps, fourth most among tight ends, and has run 51 routes, ninth best. There will come a game in which Loveland's usage explodes, but an Eagles matchup hardly seems a logical time to predict it. The Eagles were the second toughest against the position last season, and have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per target to the position this season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Loveland's elite snap share negated by Eagles' second-best TE defense.

Loveland's two-week start to 2026 is a head-scratcher: he has played 86.4% of his team's offensive snaps (fourth most among tight ends) and run 51 routes (ninth best), yet has underperformed. While there will come a game in which his usage explodes, an Eagles matchup in Week 3 is not a logical time to predict it. The Eagles were the second toughest against tight ends last season and have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per target to the position this season, making this a matchup to avoid.
