Loveland is the consensus TE3 for 2026 fantasy drafts behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Loveland consensus TE3; late-season surge shows elite target volume and playoff upside.

Loveland, the 10th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, finished TE12 in half-point PPR scoring as a rookie with 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns. From Week 9 on, he was TE2 in fantasy scoring behind only Trey McBride. Over Chicago's last four games (two regular season, two playoffs), Bears head coach Ben Johnson fully unleashed Loveland with 10+ targets in each game, averaging 12.0 targets, 7.0 catches and 94.5 receiving yards, plus two TDs. In the playoff win over the Packers, Loveland was targeted 15 times with eight catches for 137 yards. The 6-6, 241-pound Loveland is a matchup nightmare with his size and speed. He is the consensus TE3 for 2026 fantasy drafts behind only Brock Bowers and Trey McBride.
