From the video
from week 15 on Loveland led the team in targets per out run, led the team in fantasy points per outr run on a much higher route participation rate than Luther Burton had over this period... I think there's like a real chance that he leads all Bears pass catchers in routes this year... Lovelin was averaging over four yards per out run and a 50% receiving yards market share when the Bears were in these heavy multi-tight end sets at the end of last year... I'm taking Lovelin there every time is my is my choice.
STACKED’s take
Potential TE1 by next year; leads Bears routes with 4+ YPRR in multi-TE sets; better value than Bowers round two.
Fantasy Points' Ryan Heath believes Loveland could reach consensus dynasty tight end one status by next year. From week 15 onward, Loveland led the Bears in targets per route run and fantasy points per route run on a much higher route participation rate than Luther Burden, making him the better version of the Burden bet. Heath has advocated for Loveland ahead of Burden throughout the offseason and is most interested in drafting him as the early-round tight end across all platforms. Loveland has real insulation relative to Bears wide receivers; there is a genuine chance he leads all Bears pass catchers in routes this year given the team's commitment to multi-tight-end sets (12 or 13 personnel) and lack of a serious wide receiver three option to replace DJ Moore. At the end of last year in heavy multi-tight-end sets, Loveland averaged over four yards per route run and a 50% receiving yards market share, suggesting the offense could look like that from week one forward. In a draft scenario where you can choose between Brock Bowers at the end of round two or Colson Loveland at the end of round four, Heath would take Loveland every time, viewing the later-round selection as the better value proposition. Ian Hartitz is ranking Loveland ahead of Trey McBride in tight end draft rankings, signaling preference for Loveland's value proposition over McBride's round-three pricing.
