I rarely jump at a tight end early in drafts, but Loveland is the one player I would make an exception for. Over his last five games as a rookie in 2025, Loveland scored 15.1 fantasy PPG (including 21 or more in two games) and his production continued in the Bears' two playoff matchups (12 receptions, 193 yards). With his formation flexibility and receiving traits, Loveland wins on schemed throws, plus he brings one-on-one ability to Johnson's offense. He can be a star in the league.

STACKED’s take

Loveland's playoff production and Johnson's system make him Zachariason's TE exception.

Loveland scored 15.1 fantasy PPG over his last five games as a rookie in 2025 (including 21+ in two games) and his production continued in the Bears' two playoff matchups (12 receptions, 193 yards). With formation flexibility and receiving traits, Loveland wins on schemed throws and brings one-on-one ability to Ben Johnson's offense. Zachariason rarely jumps at a tight end early but makes an exception for Loveland, saying he can be a star in the league.
