Video: Top 24 Tight End Rankings & Tiers - 2026 Fantasy Football
the final four games that we had from Kholston Loveland who was a top 10 pick in last year's NFL draft at only 21 years old, he had 10, 13, 15, and 10 targets. What he would average about 12 to 13 targets per contest... Oh, now you no longer have DJ Moore, and all of a sudden there should be more targets to go around. So, I think Loveland is set up to absolutely smash.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Elite 21-year-old breakout with 12–13 targets/game late season; Gronk/Hernandez comps.

Loveland was a top-10 pick who produced nothing through most of his rookie season, taking zeros in lineups through week 5. However, he erupted in the final four games of 2025 with 10, 13, 15, and 10 targets (averaging 12–13 targets per game), posting 21 PPG in week 17, 25 PPG in week 18, then 15 targets and 137 yards vs. Green Bay and 10 targets vs. Los Angeles in playoffs. With DJ Moore's departure, target share should expand further. At only 21 years old, Geno Smith compares him to 21-year-old Rob Gronkowski, 21-year-old Aaron Hernandez, and 21-year-old Cole Kmet, suggesting elite ceiling. Geno Smith says Loveland is 'set up to absolutely smash.'
