FantasyPros Articles on Colston Loveland
From the article
In Week 1, Colston Loveland ran a route on a higher percentage of his QB's dropbacks than any other tight end in the league but somehow finished without a single catch. What he did down the stretch last season—when he was TE2 in fantasy scoring from Week 9 on—was no fluke.
STACKED’s take
Loveland is a buy-low with TE2 upside; trust Ben Johnson system despite injuries.
Colston Loveland is a buy-low target despite a nightmare run through two weeks and the loss of starter Caleb Williams to a hamstring injury in Week 3. In Week 1, Loveland ran routes on a higher percentage of his QB's dropbacks than any other tight end in the league but finished without a catch; Week 2 featured hard rain that made passing nearly impossible. Multiple analysts trust his talent and Ben Johnson's offensive system, noting that Loveland was TE2 in fantasy scoring from Week 9 onward last season. Pat Fitzmaurice and Andy Behrens recommend targeting panicky Loveland stakeholders now before the inevitable breakout. Shaun Ireland suggests offering an overperforming TE plus a late-round surprise like Vele + Schultz or Likely, and believes Loveland will outscore comparable RBs like Omarion Hampton over the next 4-6 weeks. Avery Thrasher targets high-draft-capital underperformers and notes Loveland has just five targets and a 1-3-0 line through two weeks (ranking 77th among TEs), but expects high-end upside once Williams returns.
