From the video
78% route share, 86% of the snaps. So, that's really good for Loveland. Uh 21% target share on the day, so seven targets, three red zone targets... six receptions for 65 yd and a TD. Loveland's the one that's on the field the most the the often... if they're going to continue using the heavy tight end stuff and they're not going to give Burden some of these other guys a full-time role and Odunze's just more of a kind of a sacrificial axe
STACKED’s take
Strong Week 6 usage (86% snaps, 21% targets) positions Loveland as Bears' lead TE.
Loveland posted 78% route share, 86% snap share, 21% target share, 7 targets (3 red zone), 1 TD, 6 rec/65 yards in Week 6—strong usage metrics and a step forward after Week 5 dud. Still ranked tight end 24 on the season and outscored by Darnell Washington, but the performance suggests a potential two-touchdown day was possible with better execution. Loveland is the tight end on the field most often for the Bears; he's a prospect showing real upside after strong performances at the end of last season. Patriots defense has been tough against tight ends recently, but if Loveland posts another good game next week, that would mark two out of three strong outings. The Bears' heavy tight end usage and limited full-time roles for Cole Burden and Rome Odunze (characterized as more of a "sacrificial axe") could support Loveland's continued involvement.
