PositiveProjectionJul 31, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Fantasy Points' Ryan Heath believes Loveland could reach consensus dynasty tight end one status by next year. From week 15 onward, Loveland led the Bears in targets per route run and fantasy points per route run on a much higher route participation rate than Luther Burden, making him the better version of the Burden bet. Heath has advocated for Loveland ahead of Burden throughout the offseason and is most interested in drafting him as the early-round tight end across all platforms. Loveland has real insulation relative to Bears wide receivers; there is a genuine chance he leads all Bears pass catchers in routes this year given the team's commitment to multi-tight-end sets (12 or 13 personnel) and lack of a serious wide receiver three option to replace DJ Moore. At the end of last year in heavy multi-tight-end sets, Loveland averaged over four yards per route run and a 50% receiving yards market share, suggesting the offense could look like that from week one forward. In a draft scenario where you can choose between Brock Bowers at the end of round two or Colson Loveland at the end of round four, Heath would take Loveland every time, viewing the later-round selection as the better value proposition. Ian Hartitz is ranking Loveland ahead of Trey McBride in tight end draft rankings, signaling preference for Loveland's value proposition over McBride's round-three pricing.

Colston Loveland was the focal point of the Bears offense in practice 3, with Caleb Williams repeatedly targeting him in high-leverage situations. Nicholas Moreano noted it was "the Caleb Williams, Colston Loveland show on Friday at Halas Hall," with Williams connecting with Loveland on three of his last four passes, including a 14-yard seam route touchdown. The connection demonstrated chemistry and Loveland's ability to be in the right spot when Williams expected him there.

The source positions Loveland as an elite alternative to Bowers and McBride in Tier 1, possessing similar upside but at a significantly lower price tag. The source suggests a $24 value for Loveland compared to $18.3 on Yahoo and $22 in NFFC auctions, making him the preferred top tight end option given the depth available at the position and the overvaluation of Bowers ($27 suggested vs. $37 Yahoo/$35 NFFC) and McBride ($27 suggested vs. $33 Yahoo/$28 NFFC).

Loveland is emerging as a primary target for Caleb Williams in camp. On Friday, July 31, Williams connected with Loveland four times during the two-minute drill, including a tight-window 14-yard touchdown. Loveland also had a diving catch during 7-on-7 drills on Thursday and finished off a red-zone drill with a touchdown. The source notes Williams' strong connection with Loveland and wide receiver Rome Odunze, with Loveland coming off a rookie campaign in which he led the Bears in receiving.

One of my biggest takeaways today was how good Colston Loveland was. Caleb Williams was looking his way a lot. He had four receptions including a touchdown on the end of half drill alone. Earlier he went up and snagged a pass over Devin Bush. #Bears
