Loveland flashed elite upside once he earned a full-time role, posting a 99 Utilization Score and 16.8 PPG over his final five games while commanding a 29% target share, averaging 72.3 receiving yards. He is the No. 4 all-time prospect in the Rookie Super Model (89 of 100 Rating), and his rookie-season 1.98 YPRR ranks No. 3 since 2011. With DJ Moore gone and Ben Johnson's TE-friendly system creating a clear path to route volume and efficiency, Loveland could perform more like a WR1 than a TE1.

Loveland's late-season elite efficiency and talent profile position him as a WR1-caliber TE in 2026.

Loveland flashed elite upside once earning a full-time role, posting a 99 Utilization Score and 16.8 PPG over his final five games while commanding a 29% target share and averaging 72.3 receiving yards. His talent profile backs this breakout: he ranks No. 4 all-time in the Rookie Super Model (89 of 100 rating) and his rookie-season 1.98 YPRR ranks No. 3 since 2011. With DJ Moore gone and Ben Johnson's TE-friendly system creating a clear path to route volume and efficiency, Loveland could perform more like a WR1 than a TE1. Matthew Berry's colleague Dwain McFarland calls him his favorite post-Round 3 pick to smash fantasy leagues in 2026.
