Positive signalProjection

Loveland's late-season 25.6% target share and elite efficiency metrics support TE1 contention.

Loveland finished TE15 in fantasy points per game in 2025 due to part-time role for most of the season, but exploded in Weeks 16-20 as the Bears' WR1 with 25.6% target share, 81.6 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, 34% first-read share, 0.116 first downs per route run, and 17.2 PPR points per game. Those Weeks 16-20 numbers would have ranked first, first, fourth, first, fourth, and second among all tight ends with at least 20 targets, and would have beaten both Trey McBride's 2025 and Brock Bowers' 2024 seasons in every category except fantasy points per game versus McBride. With D.J. Moore gone and only Rome Odunze and Luther Burden competing for targets, Loveland could compete with Bowers and McBride for TE1 crown.
