PositiveRoleOct 30, 2026
Matthew Berry reflects positively on holding Colston Loveland through his first five weeks, suggesting the TE has proven his worth or is emerging as a reliable option.PositiveRoleOct 29, 2026
In the 2 games since Caleb Williams returned, Colston Loveland is averaging a 30% target share and 19.2 PPG. He leads the position in utilization score over that stretch and has finished as a top 5 TE in both weeks.PositiveBreakoutOct 29, 2026
Loveland has emerged from his early-season slump and is back into TE stratosphere. After failing to catch a pass in Week 1 and struggling when Caleb Williams was injured (TE36 in 0.5-PPR), Loveland has posted back-to-back games with at least 15.5 fantasy points and top-four finishes at the position since Williams returned in Week 6. He posted a massive 38% target share last week vs. the Patriots. Projects to 8.7 fantasy points and ranks TE4 in both projections and consensus rankings. Outside of Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, he's a preferred TE option and is back where he was expected to be at the start of the year.PositiveRoleOct 28, 2026
Receiver Score mentions Colston Loveland as a mid-tier TE1 in the same tier as Tucker Kraft and Sam LaPorta, indicating strong tight end valuation based on his role and deployment.PositiveBreakoutOct 28, 2026
Loveland's Week 7 breakout was the kind of game his role had been pointing toward. Play-action has been part of 30% of his routes—the highest rate among 34 qualified tight ends in the sample. He has run a route on 83% of Chicago's dropbacks in 12 personnel, compared with 69% in 11 personnel. With Cole Kmet out, Receiver Score will be watching whether Chicago changes that mix and what it means for Loveland's routes. His 22.3% share of first-read targets supports a mid-tier TE1 valuation. Receiver Score liked Loveland's role before the injury and is holding.PositiveBreakoutOct 28, 2026
Loveland has transformed since Week 6, posting 15.9 fantasy points per game (13-134-2 receiving, 19 targets, 100 Utilization Score) after a horrendous start in Weeks 1-5 (3.5 PPG, 13-110-0 receiving, 23 targets, 56 Utilization Score), indicating a dramatic role upgrade in the Bears offense.NegativeMatchupOct 28, 2026
Loveland faces the Seahawks, ranked No. 2 in defensive pass DVOA vs. TEs (-30.5%), a reverse flow chart defense triggering automatic downgrades. The Bears' poor travel spot—third road game in four weeks—compounds the issue despite a three-day rest edge and Caleb Williams' strong out-of-division record (18-7-1 ATS, 37.3% ROI).NegativeRoleOct 28, 2026
While much of the discussion around Cole Kmet's season-ending injury focuses on how it impacts Colston Loveland, the Bears' shift toward 11-personnel (fewer 2- and 3-TE sets) may actually benefit other receivers like Luther Burden more directly.PositiveRoleOct 28, 2026
Loveland is being schemed heavily by Ben Johnson as part of the Bears' passing attack alongside Luther Burden, indicating a significant role in Chicago's offensive design.NegativeProjectionOct 28, 2026
Loveland is ranked No. 4 among tight ends for Week 8 in Freedman's rankings, facing the Seahawks.PositiveValueOct 27, 2026
The buy-low window on Loveland has likely passed, but there's still a good chance he could be acquired for less than his rest-of-season value truly is. He profiles as a top-four option at the position in Week 8 even in a difficult matchup against the Seahawks.PositiveRoleOct 27, 2026
Loveland's route and snap share just became more secure with Cole Kmet landing on IR. While he may be on the field to block more, the fact remains that he should be on the field more going forward.PositiveBreakoutOct 27, 2026
After back-to-back top-four positional finishes, the Colston Loveland breakout expected this summer appears to be coming to fruition. After seeing a 12% target share or lower in three weeks to open the season, Loveland has seen that number balloon to at least 22% in three of his last four games, with Utilization Scores of 86 or higher in those contests.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Colston Loveland is listed in the utilization report with 7.1 PPG utilization and 8.1 PPG projection.PositiveDepth ChartOct 26, 2026
Loveland UPGRADES to mid-range TE1 territory and offers high-end TE1 upside. The source's big-picture takeaway is simple: Colston was a great prospect and is showing signs of life, and generally speaking, the source wants to buy into those situations.PositiveProjectionOct 26, 2026
Since taking over the starting role last year, Loveland has an 83 Utilization Score over a 12-game sample. His historical comparisons average 12.9 PPG with 77% securing top-six campaigns. Outcome distribution: 33% TE1-3 (ceiling), 40% TE4-6 (median), 20% TE7-9 (floor), 7% TE10-12 (outlier floor). He has a tough Week 8 matchup against the Seahawks (-4.1 PPG), but the Bears have the fifth-best TE schedule for the rest of the year (+1.3 PPG).PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Cole Kmet (knee) is out for the season, which could open the door for Loveland to get more playing time, though he could also be asked to block more and face increased target competition from more WRs on the field. The Bears are the No. 7 scoring offense (25.7 PPG) and run the most regulation plays per contest (72.1), on pace to run an additional three games' worth of plays vs. the average NFL team. Burden is the only other player demanding targets at 22%; Kalif Raymond has faded to 14%, and Rome Odunze is stuck on the boundary with 16% target share and the fourth-highest route depth (11.8) among WRs with 150+ routes.PositiveUsageOct 26, 2026
Loveland has scored 18.5 and 19.9 points over the last two games with a 22%+ target share three times in the last three weeks. The second-year TE has an elite Utilization Score of 90 over the last four contests with a 25% target share, ranking as TE6 with 13.5 PPG over that span. He is showing signs of life similar to what was seen at the end of last year.PositiveProjectionOct 25, 2026
Matthew Berry ranks Colston Loveland as the 63rd-ranked player in his Week 7 rankings.PositiveRoleOct 22, 2026
Colston Loveland earns an automatic start nod based on route participation rate alone in the Bears offense. He is recommended as a start at TE8.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Colston Loveland is listed as a riser in the rest-of-season fantasy football rankings at TE9.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
The source mentions Colston Loveland as an example of a Chargers player who saw a positive role development, noting he got used in the end zone in the recent week. This is cited as evidence that the Chargers offense could potentially improve, though the source remains skeptical overall.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026
Lions TE is highlighted as a key player in the team's offense, with Week 6 overreactions suggesting he remains a viable fantasy option.NegativeProjectionOct 17, 2026
Loveland benefits from Caleb Williams' return to the Bears offense. Ranked TE9 for Week 6, though the source notes Atlanta's pass defense is tougher than the numbers suggest.NegativeBustOct 16, 2026
Colston Loveland is the LVP (Least Valuable Player) at this stage of the season; it is baffling that Ben Johnson features Kalif Raymond over Loveland, and spending a premium draft pick on Loveland at tight end—one of the shallowest positions—is much harder to replace than finding alternative RBs.NegativeMatchupOct 16, 2026
Colston Loveland is listed among Week 6 matchups that matter, facing ATL. The inclusion suggests the matchup is relevant to his fantasy outlook, though the specific impact (positive or negative) is not detailed in the source.PositiveBreakoutOct 15, 2026
Freedman recommends starting Loveland in Week 6 at Falcons despite abysmal season (3.5 PPG, 13-110-0 receiving, 23 targets, 56 Utilization Score, 4.8 yards per target). In Week 1, Loveland had position-high 89% route rate despite 0-0-0 production. In Week 2, he faced Vikings (No. 5 in fewest fantasy points allowed to TEs, 6.0 PPG). Weeks 3-5 he lacked QB Caleb Williams (hamstring), who seems likely to return this week. With Williams' return, HC Ben Johnson might get Loveland more involved. Freedman believes Loveland is likeliest to be Bears' most dynamic pass catcher given his rookie year production (58-713-6 receiving, 12-193-0 in two playoff games, 96 Utilization Score). Williams has been best outside division (16-7-1 ATS, 32.4% ROI). Falcons have boosted home-field advantage, but Freedman still recommends starting Loveland in Guillotine Leagues.NegativeProjectionOct 15, 2026
Loveland has been invisible through five weeks with just 13 catches, 110 yards, and zero touchdowns (TE36 in 0.5-PPR), despite being drafted as the No. 3 TE. While Caleb Williams' return from injury should help the Bears' offense, it's not a guaranteed fix: in Williams' lone full game (Week 1), Loveland had two targets and zero catches; in Week 2, he managed three targets, one reception, and three yards. Even with four teams on bye, Loveland projects as TE16, making it increasingly difficult to justify starting him despite his draft capital.NegativeProjectionOct 14, 2026
Loveland has had a rough start to the 2026 season with quarterback upheaval affecting his production, but there may be buy-low opportunities available.PositiveProjectionOct 14, 2026
Colston Loveland's projection increased to 6.7 PPR points per game, up from a 3.5 PPG utilization baseline, marking a significant Week 6 upgrade for the Chicago tight end.PositiveMatchupOct 14, 2026
Loveland gets a speculative upgrade in Week 6 at the Falcons despite being truly abysmal this year (3.5 fantasy points per game, 13-110-0 receiving, 23 targets, 56 Utilization Score, 4.8 yards per target). However, QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) seems likely to return this week after missing Weeks 3-5, which should boost the offense; HC Ben Johnson might seek to get Loveland more involved. The source believes Loveland is likeliest to be the most dynamic pass catcher the Bears have given his rookie production last year (58-713-6 receiving, 12-193-0 in two playoff games, 96 Utilization Score). The Falcons have a boosted home-field advantage because the Bears are outside division, on turf vs. grass, and indoors vs. outdoors, but Williams has been his best outside division (16-7-1 ATS, 32.4% ROI). The source notes this is speculative and suggests Loveland might be startable in Guillotine Leagues this week.PositiveValueOct 14, 2026
Loveland scored 3.9 PPR points Sunday but the routes he ran were worth 15.3 expected points in Receiver Score; his season-long receiving production is 24.0 points on a 57.5 expectation, a significant gap for a player the model still projects as a low-end TE1 ROS. The source identifies him as a buy before Caleb Williams returns, suggesting the quarterback change will unlock his underlying role value.PositiveBustOct 13, 2026
The source lists Colston Loveland among the disappointing tight ends in fantasy this season, using him as a comparison point to highlight why Dallas Goedert is a more attractive trade target.NegativeRoleOct 8, 2026
Loveland projects to 6.9 fantasy points and ranks TE15 for Week 5, positioned as a low-end TE1 despite being drafted a round or two after Brock Bowers and Trey McBride. He's been TE36 through four weeks, barely the TE1 on his own team. However, he showed improvement last week with a 30% target share and 35% route participation target rate under Tyson Bagent, who starts again in Week 5. The source draws a favorable Packers matchup and acknowledges skepticism given his slow start, but is willing to give him another shot as a high-end talent whose role appears to be on the rise.PositiveValueOct 6, 2026
Loveland is cited as a preferred trade target over T.J. Hockenson, indicating the source views him as offering better value than Hockenson's TE15 rating.NegativeRoleOct 3, 2026
Loveland has hit his floor in the early season, suggesting limited downside risk going forward. Valenzuela acknowledges the slow start but expresses confidence that the situation cannot get worse.NegativeUsageOct 2, 2026
Loveland received a TD pass from Case Keenum in Week 3, though it was called back. The source mentions this as evidence of Loveland's involvement in the offense, though the TD did not count.PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026
Freedman identifies Colston Loveland (Bears) as the player with the highest chop rate in Week 4 vs. the Jets. Loveland has been terrible this season with 2.0 fantasy points per game, 5-34-0 receiving, and 9 targets. His best week was last week with 5.1 points and 4-31-0 receiving on 4 targets, but he remains terrible. He's No. 5 on the team in target share (9%) and air yards (7%), making him simply not an important part of the offense. The Bears might be without No. 1 QB Caleb Williams (hamstring), and the matchup isn't friendly: the Jets are No. 4 in fewest fantasy points allowed to TEs (5.3).PositiveProjectionOct 1, 2026
Colston Loveland carries a 2.0 PPG utilization but projects for 7.5 PPG in the Week 4 Bears-Jets matchup, suggesting significant upside relative to current role; the source frames this game as one many fantasy GMs circled weeks ago despite injury complications on both sides.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026
Ranked No. 13 among tight ends for Week 4 by Matthew Freedman, indicating solid projection and upgrade status for the week.NegativeRoleSep 29, 2026
Loveland fell outside the top 12 tight ends in early Week 4 rankings for the first time this season, despite posting season-highs in Week 3 with Case Keenum at QB. His 74% route rate was lower than Week 1 (89%) but up 5% from Week 2, and his 12% target share and 0.15 targets per route run were both season-highs, yielding 7.1 PPR points. However, the source notes these season-highs were mitigated by a 1.0-yard aDOT (lowest of the season) and his first game without a red-zone target. The source suggests benching him for alternatives like Dalton Kincaid or Juwan Johnson but advises against selling, remaining in the buy-low camp given three consecutive weak weeks may create selling pressure from league mates.NegativeProjectionSep 26, 2026
Loveland has been outscored by Darren Waller in all weeks where both played in 2026, suggesting diminished production or role in the Carolina offense.NegativeRoleSep 26, 2026
Colston Loveland is ranked TE13 by Kendall Valenzuela, and even that ranking may be too high. With Carson Wentz or Tyson Bagent at quarterback instead of the injured starter, Chicago's offensive production is expected to downgrade significantly, which directly impacts Loveland's fantasy value.PositiveValueSep 25, 2026
Sam Wallace recommends buying low on Colston Loveland in dynasty leagues despite limited early-season usage. Wallace cites Ben Johnson's questionable utilization of offensive playmakers through Week 2, noting that Round 1 and Round 2 NFL draft picks are ceding playing time and schemed targets to budget-bin free agents. Wallace expects Loveland's usage to improve and views current panic as a buying opportunity.NegativeRoleSep 23, 2026
Colston Loveland is a hold despite disappointing early production (goose egg in Week 1, decreased route participation down to 69% in Week 2) because he remains an elite TE talent in an offense designed to score frequently, and his draft capital was too high to justify selling. The source acknowledges the frustration but emphasizes holding due to draft investment and long-term offensive potential.NegativeProjectionSep 23, 2026
Matthew Freedman is downgrading Colston Loveland in Week 3 TE rankings due to unfavorable betting factors, situational spots, disadvantageous defensive matchups, and/or decreased usage expectations; Loveland is featured as the lead fade in Freedman's Week 3 TE rankings downgrades.PositiveProjectionSep 23, 2026
Ranked No. 12 tight end for Week 3 in Matthew Freedman's rankings.PositiveUsageSep 22, 2026
Colston Loveland posted just one reception for 3 yards through two weeks; heavy rain and the Caleb Williams injury (with backup Tyson Bagent now in concussion protocol) complicate his outlook, and facing the tough Philadelphia defense in Week 3 makes him an unattractive waiver target unless there is a significant tight end need.NegativeUsageSep 22, 2026
Loveland was a massive swing-and-miss as a recommended bid ahead of Week 2, with his route share torpedoing from 89% in Week 1 to 69% in Week 2, and target share dropping from 8% to 7%. He's still playing most snaps but needs to be utilized better. Dwain McFarland downgraded him to low-end TE1 status in his Week 3 Utilization Report. The source would bid conservatively, expecting leaguemates to bid more.NegativeProjectionSep 22, 2026
Loveland is listed as a faller in the Week 3 rankings, positioned at TE12.NegativeProjectionSep 21, 2026
Loveland downgrades to low-end TE1 territory due to the downturn in routes and an injury to Caleb Williams (hamstring). However, the source is holding or buying rather than selling, given his strong Rookie Super Model rating and historical pedigree. The early-season woes cannot be ignored, but there is conviction that this will win out over time.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Loveland's route participation rate fell from 89% in Week 1 to 69% in Week 2, and he was targeted only 8% of the time. He is averaging 0.7 PPG with a 40 Utilization Score. In Week 2, Sam Roush ran a route on the final play while Loveland was asked to stay in and block (unsuccessfully). Despite his No. 4 rating in the Rookie Super Model all-time and strong closeout to his rookie campaign, the early-season downturn in routes is concerning.PositiveValueSep 21, 2026
Colston Loveland is positioned as a buy-low candidate after a weak Week 1 (1 reception, 3 yards). The source suggests his price/valuation has fallen further after Week 2, making him an attractive target for managers seeking undervalued tight end upside.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Loveland, along with Luther Burden, failed to deliver for the Bears in Week 2 as Chicago's pass catchers struggled. The combination of poor play, penalties, weather, and the Bears' heavy run game limited opportunities for the tight end.PositiveValueSep 18, 2026
Loveland wrecked his fantasy managers in Week 1 with just 1 reception on 5 targets for 2 receiving yards, but with no formal analysis to support it, a correction is anticipated in Week 2; Loveland will likely be targeted early and often next week. Week 1 may be the absolute worst performance he has all season, making him a potential trade target for panicking owners.PositiveProjectionSep 18, 2026
Jonathan Fuller targets Colston Loveland higher than 0.5 rushing/receiving TDs in Week 2 vs. Detroit. Fuller notes Loveland failed to record a catch in Week 1 despite the Bears offense going "nuts," but Chicago is at home against a divisional rival with the sixth-highest implied team total. Fantasy Life projections have Loveland for north of 7 targets and 0.4 TDs. Fuller believes Loveland will be a major factor in the Bears offense this season and views his Week 1 goose egg as an odd footnote. Fuller also cites Ben Johnson as a player's coach who will want to keep one of his top playmakers happy by finding the end zone in Week 2, as evidenced by the schemed TD for Jahdae Walker.PositiveMatchupSep 18, 2026
The source suggests that the plays that worked for Matthew Golden against Minnesota are more conducive to a Colston Loveland bounceback than a Luther Burden ascension, implying Loveland is better positioned to exploit the Vikings' defense in Week 2.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Colston Loveland is projected for 9.5 fantasy points in Week 2 despite a 0.0 PPG through Week 1, suggesting increased utilization expected in Chicago's offense against Minnesota.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
In Week 1, Loveland had the highest route participation of any tight end at 89%. Despite scoring 0 points on 2 targets in a game where the Bears scored 59 points, Matthew Berry notes that if Caleb Williams had not missed him on 2 throws (including one in the end zone), his stat line would look completely normal. Berry advises that if someone in your league is panicking and wants to sell Loveland after one game, you should run to make that deal.PositiveRoleSep 16, 2026
Despite a bagel in Week 1 (38 Utilization Score) as a Round 4 pick, Loveland posted the highest route rate of any TE at 89%, confirming the Ben Johnson offense will attempt to break scoring records and supporting long-term confidence.NegativeRoleSep 16, 2026
Colston Loveland is noted as a weakness in the Bears' otherwise stacked offensive lineup. The source explicitly states the Bears have playmakers at every position 'except for TE, sorry, Colston Loveland managers,' indicating limited confidence in his role or production in the high-powered Bears offense despite the team's overall offensive firepower.NegativeProjectionSep 16, 2026
Colston Loveland is a hold despite posting 0.0 points in Week 1. The source places Loveland in a 'Don't Be Stupid' hold list, arguing that a single goose egg is not sufficient reason to panic-sell. The source emphasizes that the box score is not the only data point to evaluate talent, particularly for a player drafted for upside.PositiveValueSep 16, 2026
Loveland is a buy-low trade target despite failing to catch a pass in Week 1 when the Bears scored 59 points. The source emphasizes that Loveland dominated usage, leading all Week 1 tight ends in route rate (89%), and notes that Chicago's poor defense should lead to many games where Caleb Williams attempts 40-plus passes. From Week 8 onward last year, Loveland emerged as the Bears' top pass catcher, running 72% of routes and logging 72.4% of snaps with a 24% target rate (highest on the team). In Weeks 17-20 (playoffs included), he saw double-digit targets in all four games, averaging 12 looks per game with 32% TPRR and 31% target share, demonstrating his late-season emergence as a focal point.PositiveProjectionSep 16, 2026
Loveland is ranked No. 2 in Matthew Freedman's Week 2 tight end rankings, rising in the upgrade rankings. The source highlights him as a favorite play for Week 2 based on favorable betting factors, situational spots, and advantageous defensive matchups.PositiveProjectionSep 15, 2026
Colston Loveland was chopped despite the Bears scoring 59 points in Week 1, receiving just 2 targets and zero receptions with no injury explanation; the source characterizes this as likely a one-down week and notes Loveland is a top-3 talent in what could be the best offense in the NFL, recommending bidding accordingly.NegativeProjectionSep 15, 2026
Colston Loveland is mentioned in the article title and player list with Week 1 utilization data showing 0.0 PPG and a projected 8.9 PPG for the season, indicating he is a key player under discussion for FAAB bidding in Week 2 guillotine leagues.PositiveSleeperSep 15, 2026
Loveland posted 0.0 fantasy points in Week 1 but the source is more excited to bid on him than any other player this week. Despite being a popular preseason darling, he will come at a fraction of the price of other players on the list. The source values the tight end position's ability to distance from the field and trusts Loveland's breakout potential. He posted an elite 89% route rate (higher than every other tight end including Trey McBride) and averaged over 15 points per game with a 28% target share (29% TPRR) toward the end of last season. His floor is clearly low, so the source is not getting aggressive, but wants to take a stand and trust the buy-low window. Recommended bid (No Tomorrow, most aggressive setting): $125 (12.5%), though the source notes the aggressive bid recommendation of $50 feels too light given preseason hype.PositiveBreakoutSep 15, 2026
Loveland is positioned as the most obvious buy-low candidate after scoring zero fantasy points in Week 1 despite the Bears putting up a franchise-record 59 points. The source emphasizes Loveland had an 89% route share—the most of any tight end—and attributes his lack of production to Caleb Douglas and Kalif Raymond monopolizing targets rather than any role or talent issue. The source calls Week 1 an outlier and identifies Loveland as a top-four dynasty tight end whose value should recover as the season progresses, making him a target to acquire below his true value.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
The source opens by asking if you picked Colston Loveland in Round 4 of your fantasy draft and expected fireworks out of the gate, sarcastically saying 'Enjoy your goose egg.' Later, the source notes disappointment with Loveland alongside Luther Burden, stating 'I am very much still in on both him and fellow disappointment Colston Loveland, but it was a bit concerning seeing him not dominate the playing time in such a back-and-forth affair with Odunze not operating at 100%.'PositiveProjectionSep 11, 2026
Colston Loveland projects to 10.1 PPG in Week 1, up from a 9.0 PPG average, suggesting increased usage or role in the Bears offense against the Panthers.PositiveProjectionSep 9, 2026
Loveland is ranked No. 3 in Freedman's Week 1 TE rankings and is featured as one of Freedman's TE favorites, indicating an upgrade based on favorable betting factors and situational spots.NegativeValueSep 6, 2026

Colston Loveland is being discussed as a potential move-up candidate in final tight end rankings before the 2026 season, suggesting the source believes he may be undervalued relative to his breakout potential.NegativeValueSep 4, 2026
Colston Loveland is recommended as a sensible tight end target on Yahoo after the top three TEs, offering better value than the overpriced mid-tier tight end options.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026
Colston Loveland does not fall back in Round 4 on Sleeper; his pricing makes him a viable early tight end option, especially when paired with a Zero RB build strategy in early draft positions.PositiveBreakoutSep 3, 2026

Matthew Berry lists Colston Loveland among his 10 most drafted players this year.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
The source projects Colston Loveland to smash his ADP, finishing as the No. 1 TE. The source cites Ben Johnson's stated goal to score a bajillion points this year as evidence of the offensive scheme's aggressive intent, supporting the bullish projection.
