From the episode
Are we done with Colson Loveland? Done meaning, like, are we, like, conceding that, like, he's just going to be a bust this year? I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I would start Friermuth ahead of him. I would start Juwan Johnson ahead of him. I'm starting guys that are producing versus waiting.
STACKED’s take
Fourth-round TE underperforming; speaker reconsidering bench after poor week despite boom-bust ceiling.
Fourth-round pick has underperformed significantly; speaker notes not seeing "the glimmer" or "light at the end of the tunnel" after recent poor performance. Despite earlier advice to weather the storm and avoid benching due to whipsaw risk, speaker now reconsidering after this past week's output. Loveland is characterized as "unbenchable" at tight end due to boom-bust ceiling (could post 25 fantasy points any week), but production has been inconsistent with multiple low-scoring games (twos, threes, fours) mixed with potential upside. Quarterback situation (Bajan vs. Caleb) is cited as key factor; with backup quarterbacks, source would bench Loveland in favor of producing alternatives like Pat Friermuth or Juwan Johnson.
