Loveland could be low-end TE1 with elevated targets as Odunze gets shadowed.

Colston Loveland has started to resemble the player expected for 2026 over the last three weeks. During this stretch he has been TE14 in fantasy points per game, but usage has trended upward. Since Week 4, Loveland has 19.1% target share, 70.2% route share, 1.62 YPRR, six red zone targets, and 26.2% first-read share. The source projects he could be a TE1 again this week with targets being pushed in his direction as Rome Odunze faces a Christian Gonzalez shadow. New England is 17th in yards per target while allowing fifth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends. New England held Dalton Kincaid, Pat Freiermuth, and Brenton Strange to quiet days, but Brock Bowers destroyed them with eight grabs, 110 receiving yards, and a score. The source does not project a blow-up game but a low-end TE1 this week.
